F2W 211 results: UFC vet dominates with north/south choke victory

The 211th Fight 2 Win card lit up the Pittsburgh grappling scene this past weekend. Showcasing an ensemble of local and national talent, gi players, no-gi submission specialists, adult and juvenile competitors—the longstanding tournament gave everyone something to enjoy.

Headlining the show were 10th Planet representative Jason Robinson and UFC vet Chris Dempsey, alongside fellow 10th Planet athlete and Combat Jiu-Jitsu standout David Weintraub and Hometown favorite Evan Anastacio in the co-main. Under the F2W ruleset, special emphasis is placed on submission attempts rather than just positional dominance to incentivize constant attacks from participants.

Finding a second front head lock, Weintraub went for the snap down and instead went for a D’arce choke. Ever resilient, True Believer BJJ’s Anastacio escaped to stand again, quickly going on the offensive with a second takedown attempt. But Weintraub was able to sprawl out, returning them to a familiar position in the match.

Weintraub returned to passing attempts from the top as Anastacio worked his knee shield in for half guard. Maintaining his frames, he was able to briefly lock Weintraub in closed guard before finding himself passed to bottom side control in the closing minute. Desperate for another sub attempt, Weintraub exploded to the back hoping to find Anastacio’s neck. As time expired, Weintraub’s constant offense was rewarded with a decision win.

Our main event began with brief collar ties, before Robinson opted to pull half guard on the MMA alumni. Dempsey brought himself up as Robinson attempted to lock down his right leg, and used a knee cut to begin passing to side control. Free to move, Dempsey moved to north/south position looking to lock in a north/south choke. Jason tried to hip escape to create space, and moved to re guard.

Dempsey, still on top, briefly courted an arm attack before returning to the north/south choke. Feeling an opening, Jason exploded free and returned the fight to the feet only to pull half guard again. A short scramble gave Dempsey the opportunity to pass and return to north/south off of an abandoned guillotine attempt. Committed to the choke, he squeezed as the clock wound down to the final minute. Robinson desperately tried to escape once again, but was forced to give the tap with 57 seconds on the clock. Dempsey was declared the winner by submission.
