F2W 176 finished off the night with two exciting matches, one between Samir Chantre and Orlando Castillo and then a main event title match between Edwin “Junny” Ocasio and Carlos “Bebeto” Oliveira. In the end, Ocasio retained his no-gi bantamweight title in a fast-paced, close match.
Co-Main Event
Samir Chantre vs. Orlando Castillo
Castillo pulled guard, and Chantre avoided a sweep by moving to pass. He then attempted a berimbolo to take the back, but Castillo successfully defended the attack. A scramble ensued, resulting in Chantre returning to his guard passing attempts. Chantre closed the distance and worked on a knee-cut pass. The athletes struggled in this position for a while, with Castillo keeping Chantre in his half-guard and tried to work a sweep. Chantre attempted a straight ankle lock in the final seconds, but it wasn’t enough to finish the match before time ran out.
Samir Chantre was declared the winner by split decision.
Main Event
Edwin “Junny” Ocasio vs. Carlos “Bebeto” Oliveira
Both athletes started the match by pulling guard, but Oliveira quickly got to his feet and worked on trying to pass. Ocasio searched for a leg attack opportunity by inverting, and Oliveira was able to step out of danger. Ocasio was finally successful in closing the distance just past the seven-minute mark and attacked a leg. Oliveira rolled out and resumed hand-fighting while Ocasio played guard. A minute later, Oliveira spun around and sat back for a kneebar, which Ocasio successfully defended.
Four minutes and thirty seconds to go, and Oliveira attempted an Estima lock briefly before bailing when Ocasio countered with a leg attack. The competitors were reset after nearing the edge of the stage, and Oliveira resumed trying to pass Ocasio’s guard. This battle continued for the rest of the match, and neither Ocasio nor Oliveira was able to submit the other before the clock ran out.
Junny Ocasio was declared the winner by unanimous decision and retained his no-gi bantamweight title.
