Vagner Rocha has done it again.

The VRMA / Fight Sports representative secured ANOTHER Fight 2 Win title after a unanimous decision victory over the legendary Augusto ‘Tanquinho’ Mendes, making him the Lightweight and Welterweight Fight 2 Win Champion. 

The early minutes of the match saw an even pace from both athletes, Tanquinho sat to guard after a minute of non-commital wrestling and began to hunt for the 50/50 guard. Both men began sought to secure for heel hooks and straight ankle locks from the 50/50 position, but neither athlete came close to a finishing lock.  

The match eventually found its way back to the feet, and the momentum began to shift in Rocha's favor around the two-minute mark when he hit a big blast double that nearly sent Tanquihno flying off the mat.  A beautiful backstep pass mark Rocha step over Tanquinoho’s SLX-guard, forcing the Soul Fighters athlete to turtle, only to have Rocha nimbly dive onto his back and secure the position.

Rocha was hunting for the finish with 30 seconds left, applying his trademark Muffler attack (the hands covering the mouth and nose) and looking for a short-choke RNC variation.  Tanquinho was tough enough to survive the submission onslaught, but the damage was done, and at the end of regulation the judges awarded Rocha with the Unanimous submission victory.
