Two titles matches will top the UFC BJJ 2 card on July 31 at the UFC APEX, just days before the UFC Vegas card with Amir Albazi and Tatsuro Taira as headliners on Aug. 2.
Andrew Tackett will be the first to put a UFC BJJ title on the line, defending the welterweight throne versus Renato Canuto. A light heavyweight champion will be crowned in the co-main event, with Mason Fowler taking on David Garmo.
Tackett claimed the inaugural belt with a rear-naked choke over Andy Varela on June 25, and returns a month later to face Canuto, a IBJJF black-belt world champion with and without the gi.
Fowler is a black belt under Caio Terra and won multiple ADCC trials before joining the UFC grappling promotion. Garmo, his opponent, is a protege under Danny Agemy with multiple Quintet wins under his belt.

Tackett’s gotta be the favourite, but I’m sure will be an exciting match, as both guys are fun to watch.
Once again, not invited.
Mbn’s jacked up joints: “good, youre old, fat and ugly. That 10 inch dong only carries you so far.”
I think they should toss in some freakshow matchups. BJJers vs. Wrestlers, BJJers vs UFC fighters, Wrestlers vs. UFC fighters etc.
Make it more entertaining rather than it being a pure grappling event.
So is this a rerun or live action. Im retarded.
Tonight LIVE
Thanks Phooster.
lol Tackett is such a beast thanks hkp
