Fight 2 Win 157 once again brought the action to Philadelphia, with a night of high-intensity matches culminating in another win for Vagner Rocha and a return from competitive retirement from Tom DeBlass. In the end, though, it was Chad Fields who took home the master superheavyweight no-gi title.
Co-Main Event
Vager Rocha vs. Gabriel Almeida
Rocha took Almeida to the ground and worked for a toehold from a leg triangle, but Almeida was able to escape from danger. After some hand-fighting, Almeida pulled guard and worked to attack one of Rocha’s ankles while Rocha tried to pass the guard. Almeida stayed safe by inverting, but after they stood up, Rocha took him back to the ground. They didn’t stay there for long, though, and soon returned to the feet to wrestle. Almeida shot for a single-leg and held the ankle before pulling guard, where the competitors ended up in 50/50. Rocha looked for a moment like he might attack the arm, but then he sat back for an inside heel hook. Despite Almeida’s attempt to roll out of it, Rocha got the tap and won the match.
Main Event
Tom DeBlass vs. Chad Fields
DeBlass pulled guard and maintained good frames while Fields moved to half-guard, standing up briefly before returning to try to pass DeBlass’ guard. After briefly returning to the feet, Fields ended up in DeBlass’ closed guard, but the guard was soon opened, and DeBlass played half-guard for a while before returning to closed guard. The competitors separated and returned to their feet. Fields sprawled to defend a takedown, and DeBlass again returned to closed guard. As the clock wound down, Fields worked to flatten out DeBlass’ half-guard, but neither athlete was able to finish the match before time ran out.
Fields was awarded the unanimous decision victory from the judges and took home the master superheavyweight title.
