Fight To Win Pro 51 Results from Brooklyn, New York
Tonight, for the first time ever, Fight To Win Promotions will be in New York. Fight To Win Pro 51 is live from the Aviator Sports and Events Center located at 3159 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn, New York.
The main event features local black belt standout from Marcelo Gracie BJJ, Gianni Grippo vs. Lovato BJJ’s, Justin Rader in a no-gi lightweight championship bout. Both competitors have competed for Fight To Win Pro in the past. Grippo defeated Dustin Akbari via submission due to armbar at F2W Pro 38 and Rader defeated Bruno Frazatto by decision at F2W Pro 35.
The co-main event features former UFC and Strikeforce fighter, Jake Shields who is currently training with The Danaher Death Squad at Renzo Gracies and helping Georges St. Pierre prepare for his upcoming title fight at MSG vs. middleweight champ, Michael Bisping. He takes on Unity BJJ founder and local, Murilo Santana. Santana, like Shields, most recently competed at the ADCC in Finland in mid September. Santana will be making his debut for F2W while Shields will be making his second trip beating current UFC fighter Lyoto Machida by heel hook last year.
The original main event was ADCC -77 KG division, champion JT Torres vs. former UFC and current Bellator MMA fighter Benson Henderson. Henderson pulled out earlier this week with an injury he sustained from his last Bellator MMA fight last month. Still, with this fight off, the rest of the card looks very promising.
Doors at The Aviator Sports and Events Center open at 5 and the first fight is at 6 pm.
