Two Submission Underground veterans return to the cage one week from today in what may be the promotion's most thrilling card to date.
AJ Agazarm, 2017 ADCC silver medalist and Gracie Barra bad boy, soundly defeated UFC veteran Phil Baroni in his last outing in Portland. He’s now set his sights on 10th Planet kingpin and previous SUG champ Nathan Orchard.

Or was it the other way around?
It was Orchard who called out Agazarm after his last SUG victory, inviting the 'Florida Boy' to join him for a dance in the Roseland Theatre cage. Either way, this is one of SUG’s most interesting style clashes to date. Here’s why:
Styles Make Fights
Agazarm: Man Indomitable
Anyone who’s seen Agazarm fight knows that the man is nearly impossible to submit.
Tough as they come, Agazarm is built to thrive in the submission only ruleset. Which is not to say he’s without offense... Agazarm’s nasty wrestling and aggressive top game can easily put him in position to completely dominate a fight.
He’s already had thrilling matches with Dillon Danis and Phil Baroni in the SUG cage, and we believe that the Florida native will be equally keen to entertain (and rile up) the Portland crowd at SUG 6.

Is Orchard’s Unorthodox Approach The Answer?
Nathan Orchard posses a unique game and while his patented ‘Dead Orchard’ submission is clearly one of his most fearsome techniques, Orchard is HUNGRY for the sub at all times and will aggressively seek to end the fight in any manner possible.
Perhaps the the 10th Planet rep can throw Agazarm for a loop with some unforeseen wizardry. In any case, he'll need something special to earn the win.
What we do know for certain is that Orchard's fight with Atos standout Mike Perez at SUG 4 was a back and forth war and one of the most exciting matches of the event. We have no doubts that he'll be bringing the same intensity to the cage come Dec. 3.
