Rader has been a staple at F2W Pro events since the promotion’s inception. He’s a member of two of the most exciting F2W matches of all time with Garry Tonon and Jeff Glover and generally a fearsome competitor with a crowd-pleasing approach. Submission-hungry, Rader utilizes wrestling prowess and heavy top pressure to make his opponents panic and give up their necks.

UNLOCKED: Justin Rader vs. Jeff Glover F2W Pro

A Tulsa, OK, native, Vernon has finished all three of his matches by submission in less than seven minutes. Key aspects of his game include effective use of foot sweeps, back-takes from anywhere, and crushing collar chokes.

However, the rules of engagement are different this time around — it's Vernon's first no-gi match with F2W Pro, so we're very curious to see how he adapts his game.
