Mixed martial arts pioneer Rumina “Moon Wolf” Sato faces Ulysses “Useless” Gomez in the headline match on Friday, while fighters like Fredson Paixao, Joe Stevenson, Vinicius Magalhaes, Jeff Glover and Bill Cooper also show off their grappling skills. “For fans of the ground game, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see some of the world’s premier grapplers in one place competing against each other,” said UFC President Dana White.
