Fight To Win Pro, the most active professional jiu-jitsu promotion on the planet, has prepared the first leg of its 2018 tour.

CEO Seth Daniels said that Team NO SLEEP is "just excited to get back on the road and bring the biggest party in grappling to a city near you."

See the full list of confirmed dates below.

F2W Pro 58: Vagner Rocha vs. Dustin Akbari

Jan. 12 — Sacramento, CA

Vagner Rocha and Dustin Akbari are two of the most prolific grapplers on the professional circuit at the moment.

This match isn’t so much a clash of styles as it is a rock meeting a hard place. Both are gritty, intense fighters that embrace the grind. They are also well rounded, happy to attack any available limb and just as comfortable on the feet as they are on the ground. We expect a very active performance from both athletes.

The card also features some of the very best jiu-jitsu talent in northern California like Marcos Torregrosa, Eliot Kelly and David Mitchell.

F2W Pro 59: JT Torres vs. Benson Henderson

Jan. 19 — Scottsdale, AZ

We’ve been intrigued by the idea of JT Torres vs Benson Henderson since it was initially booked for the New York F2W show in November. And after a brief injury delay, the bout is back on.

It’s a gi match, which on paper certainly favors Torres, but Henderson has proven himself a game competitor several times at F2W, including a victory over AJ Agazarm in the gi. F2W's submission-only format and judging criteria also drastically changes the pace and flavor of fight, which is exactly why this matchup is so compelling.

Backing up the outstanding main event are F2W standouts Thomas Keenan, Jake Watson, and Diogo Ferreira . Strap in, because Jan. 19 is going to be incredible night of action.
