Here’s what you can expect over the next month from the "biggest party in grappling." 

Fight To Win Pro 61 – February 3

F2W Pro Orange County sees one of the most diverse cards in F2W history: There are large contingencies from 10th Planet, Garcie Barra, and even CSW — Erik Paulson’s gym with strong ties to the catch wrestling movement.  

The main event in Garden Grove, CA, features two storied competitors: Joao Assis, an ADCC champion and a two-time No-Gi Worlds champion, and Antonio Braga Neto, a two-time world champion, three-time Pan American champion, and a Brazilian national champion. Assis is a F2W Pro veteran and holds notable wins over Tom DeBlass and Mike Perez. Will his sub-only experience be enough to take out Braga Neto? We'll find out Saturday! 

We’ll also see AJ Agazarm back on the F2W stage against 10th Planet representative Chai Sirisute. Agazarm’s success at F2W has been a mixed bag. Frequently involved in the Fight of the Night, Agazarm has the ability to create exciting matches, but that has yet to transfer over to the winner's column at F2W. Has he made the necessary adjustments to account for Fight To Win Pro's unique rules?

The next stop on the tour sees ’s Fight To Win head to the Bay Area and features one of the most intriguing matchups of 2018: Jake Shields vs Kit Dale.

This fight is as much a contrast of grappling styles as it is a clash of competitive approaches: Shields has been one of the most active athletes on the professional circuit for the past two years, but we’ve just begun to see the re-emergence of Kit Dale as a regular competitor in the last six months. Kit had solid performances at ADCC and No-Gi Worlds. 

Also featured on the card is “10 Million” Marvin Castle, who will surely bring his incredible imanari roll and varied leg attacks in his match with Travis Magalit out of Bay Jiu-Jitsu.Also featured on the card are standout competitors Tanner Rice and Dustin Akbari.

Fight To Win Pro 63 – February 17

Main event: Justin Rader vs. Matt Vernon (No-Gi)

Justin Rader is a criminally underappreciated jiu-jitsu athlete: ADCC Trials Winner and World No-Gi Champion, Rader’s style is both fan friendly and submission-oriented.  He’ll be taking on Matt Vernon, currently 3-0 under the F2W banner, who will certainly love to take out the local legend.
