A no-gi world champion will face off with an ADCC champion at Fight To Win 182. On Saturday, August 28, 2019 IBJJF no-gi world champion Dante Leon will take on 2015 ADCC champion Davi Ramos. The promotion announced the bout via Instagram.
The match-up between Leon and Ramos is an interesting one. Both grapplers are explosive, athletic, and excellent takedown artists with superb sweeps when wrestling up.
Dante Leon comes into this match following plenty of success on the IBJJF circuit, winning double gold at the no-gi Kansas City Open, and gold at the no-gi Charleston Open. Prior to that, Leon lost a decision to Nicky Ryan at The Road to ADCC. He holds notable wins over Tye Ruotolo, Renato Canuto, and Kody Steele.
Davi Ramos has competed sparingly over the past couple of years. He has competed just once in 2021 so far, losing a decision to Pedro Marinho at Fight To Win 177. Prior to that, he lost a decision to Garry Tonon at Fight To Win 132, an event that took place in 2019.
