Kurt Osiander Is In Rare Form Ahead Of Fight To Win Pro 8 Matchup

Kurt Osiander takes to the mat this Saturday night at Fight to Win Pro 8 LIVE from San Francisco, California. He takes on the defending champion Thomas Cronin for the 190lb title. Just a few days prior to the big event we dropped in on Kurt at Ralph Gracie's Academy to see how he was preparing.

It turns out the popular youtuber and Gracie black belt was in rare form while teaching a beginner's Gi class and we're just glad we were there to capture it for you.

Also appearing is submission-only stud Garry Tonon, who will look to avenge a 2013 loss to the little-known, but very tough Dustin Akbari. Akbari is a grappling coach at Urijah Faber's gym, while Tonon is on a red-hot streak and coming off a big win over Ralek Gracie. And finally in the main event is a grudge match between two titans of the jiu-jitsu scene. Dean Lister takes on Yuri Simoes in a much anticipated rematch from ADCC 2015.

The action goes down this July 23 and you can watch it LIVE here on FloGrappling starting 6PM PST. 

Featuring 20-plus submission-only matches, Fight To Win Pro 8 features a total of 26 submission-only matches (nine of which are no-gi).
