F2W 183 finished off a big event with two action-packed title matches, and in the end, it was Michael Liera Jr. and Baret Yosida who went home with belts around their waists.
Co-Main Event
Jackson Nagai vs. Michael Liera Jr.
Liera immediately pulled guard and tried to sweep Nagai from closed guard. Nagai stood up and tried to break his opponent’s legs open, but Liera held tight. For a while, the competitors stayed here, neither able to do anything with the other, until Nagai lifted Liera off the ground and brought him down in a huge slam. It wasn’t enough to open Liera’s guard, though, and Nagai tried to manipulate Liera’s lapels for some time before he was finally able to stand up and open Liera’s guard. Liera quickly recovered, though, and wrapped himself around his opponent’s leg for a toehold while Nagai went for a leg lock of his own. Nagai soon had to bail on his own attempt in favor of defense. Liera was relentless in his attempts, though, going for a kneebar and then an ankle lock. Nagai went for an ankle lock of his own in the final seconds as Liera got to his feet, but neither competitor was able to secure the submission before time ran out.
Michael Liera Jr. was declared the winner and claimed the welterweight gi title.
Main Event
Baret Yoshida vs. Bernardo Pitel
Pitel pulled guard, and Yoshida immediately backstopped over to an attempted pass. Pitel secured quarter-guard while Yoshida came over and worked on trapping the head and arm. Yoshida tightened the anaconda choke while Pitel tried to rotate out of danger, and Yoshida got the tap with six minutes and thirty seconds left to go.
Baret Yoshida was declared the winner and took home the featherweight gi title.
