Wright's fearsome footsweep and leglock attacks have definitely found a home on the F2W stage, and Isiah Wright is a known submission hunter. 

Bill Cooper may be OG but– along with Jeff Glover and Dean Lister– he represented what used to be considered the 'new school'. That is, American athletes who were doing new, creative things with jiu-jitsu and seeing success at the highest levels.  

Having dealt with personal issues that forced him into semi-retirement, Cooper has returned to return to active competition since 2016 and has made several trips to the Fight 2 Win stage, facing the likes of Vagner Rocha, Vitor Oliveira, and Jake Scoval.

Wright’s footlocks are no Joke, but Cooper is a seasoned veteran in that department and will likely be very comfortable in most leg entanglements. The real question in our eyes is will Wright's impressive cardio and tenacious wrestling beast him through to a dominant position or can Cooper's crafitness, unorthodox game and experience give him the win.
