A rundown of the biggest headlines and news from the world of competitive grappling. While FloGrappling might not put on a huge number of ‘Who’s Number One?’ events every year, they’re always massive fightcards stacked to the brim with the biggest names in grappling. As a result, it was exciting to hear that they were getting off to a quick start this year with an event scheduled for February 26th. FloGrappling have started to release some of the matchups already, with plenty more to be announced in the coming weeks.
The first to be revealed was the main event, where ATOS’ Ronaldo Junior will be stepping up in weight to face off against the Australian phenom Craig Jones. Perhaps the biggest match announced so far however, is Gabi Garcia taking on Nathiely De Jesus in a rubber match. The event will also feature the youngest member of the Danaher Death Squad, Nicky Ryan, as he takes on a huge challenge in the form of rising star, Roberto Jimenez.

F2W 162, the Promotion’s First All-Female Event, Delivers a Night of Action
Fight 2 Win has gotten off to a fantastic start to the year already with their third event of the month on consecutive weekends. This time the promotion decided to change things up quite a bit by booking a forty-six fight event that was entirely populated by female grapplers. This wasn’t just a marketing gimmick either, as they managed to arrange four elite-level title fights to finish out the event as well.
Luanna Alzuguir and Hannette Staack have four ADCC titles and twelve IBJJF gold medals between them and they put on a fantastic battle for the F2W 145lbs title, one that Alzuguir would be declared the winner in. Shortly after that was Talita Alencar beating Gabrielle McComb in the fight of the night, followed by the final two title-fights where Amanda ‘Tubby’ Alequin defeated Nathalie Ribeiro, and Rafaela Guedes defeated Ana Carolina Vieira.
Full results for the event can be found here.

Gordon Ryan Clashes with Several ATOS Team Members on Social Media
There’s been several meetings on the mats between representatives of ATOS and the Danaher Death Squad and so far, Gordon Ryan has won every single one of these matches. Now the rivalry has heated up a little after several major representatives of ATOS, namely IBJJF World Champion Kaynan Duarte and founder/head coach Andre Galvao, clashed with Gordon Ryan on social media.
The spat was centered around the matchmaker for WNO saying that everyone should be eager to take on either Craig Jones or Gordon Ryan. This sparked a debate with Duarte that led to him calling out Ryan for a match on a WNO event soon, something that could serve as a great build-up to the potential ADCC 2022 superfight between Ryan and Andre Galvao, although that is currently up in the air and may not be going ahead.

BJ Penn Arrested on Suspicion of DUI Again
He was at the very peak of combat sports as an IBJJF World Champion first, and then a UFC World Champion in two different weight classes. He was the second person to achieve this feat and went on to fight around the world in many more divisions, but his career has taken a sour turn both in and out of the cage since 2010. Penn has gone 1-1-9 and has lost his last seven fights in a row, but his legal troubles have taken centre-stage in the last few years.
There have been instances of brawls in public, including footage emerging of him being violently knocked out. He’s also had other run-ins with the law in Hawaii and has recently been arrested on suspicion of DUI again. Unlike the first time, video shows him yelling obscenities and a racial slur as he’s being taken away. This is not a good look for Penn and at this point, it would likely be good for him to spend some time away from the public eye.

CRASH TRAGEDY

Boy, 11, killed in M4 minibus crash that also left child, 6, dead is pictured

It comes after a fire broke out at the 340-year-old event on Saturday afternoon.

Shocking footage on social media showed smoke billowing into the sky as fire crews tackled the blaze.

Many attendees were forced to cover their faces with jumpers and coats to avoid inhaling the toxic smoke.

Stall holders then continued to dismantle their tents and tables next to the fire as it was slowly brought under control.

During this time, police officers also formed a barricade in order to protect groups of people from getting close to the fire.

Cumbria Police confirmed that the cause of the fire was not being treated as suspicious.

The fair’s Multi Agency Strategic Coordinating Group (MASCG), which includes local police, confirmed that some 80 people were arrested at the fair this year.

The number is marginally higher than the 74 recorded last year.

A total of 123 arrests were made this year under the Appleby Horse Fair policing operation, including those made in the weeks building up to the event.

Gold Commander for Appleby Horse Fair, Detective Superintendent Dan St Quintin, said: “My officers have once again been on the front-foot and proactive in their efforts to make this event as safe as we can.

“The results of their efforts – and the goodwill of the vast majority of people in all communities – is fewer crimes recorded and a fair which has seen zero incidents of significant disorder or violent incidents.

“I would like to thank all communities for this, whilst also paying tribute to my officers for their outstanding work in recent days and weeks, during challenging circumstances, including the extremely wet weather we saw on Saturday.”

It is estimated that 10,000 gypsies and travellers, as well as 30,000 other visitors, attend the fair each year.

The 340-year-old fair typically features traditional music, dancing, horse riding, market stalls and horse sales.

Horsemen and women have been seen riding their horses in the nearby River Eden as part of a long-held tradition.

Market stalls are also propped up across the tiny town – home to around just 3,200 people – selling a variety of traditional traveller goods and horse-related products.

Hundreds of campervans and horse-drawn carriages descend upon the rural town for the annual event.

RSPCA officers are also present, looking out for the welfare of the hundreds of horses that are exercised, bought and sold.

In 2020, it was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic, but huge crowds have returned to the event in recent years.

Crypto Bulls Lose $500M as Bitcoin Hovers Around $108K After Trump’s Tariff Threats

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened a 50% tariff on all European Union imports and a 25% levy on imported Apple iPhones late Friday, sending markets tumbling.

What to know:

  • Bullish crypto bets lost over $500 million as markets reacted to President Trump’s tariff threats.
  • Bitcoin’s price dropped sharply, leading to significant losses across the crypto market, including ether, Solana, XRP, and dogecoin.
  • The largest single liquidation was a $9.53 million BTC-USDT swap on OKX, highlighting market volatility and potential turning points.

Bullish crypto bets lost over $500 million in the past 24 hours as traders took profits and markets slid following President Donald Trump’s fresh threats of tariffs on European imports and Apple products, sparking a wave of liquidations.

Bitcoin, which had been trading above $111,000, dropped quickly to around $108,600, wiping out intraday gains and rattling broader market sentiment.

BTC’s drop was mirrored across the crypto complex, with futures tracking ether (ETH), Solana’s SOL, xrp (XRP) and dogecoin (DOGE) showing losses from $30 million to over $100 million.

Bitcoin futures saw roughly $181 million in losses, while Ether futures accounted for nearly $142 million. Altcoins added another $100 million in liquidations, including notable wipeouts in SOL, DOGE, and XRP.

The largest single liquidation was a $9.53 million BTC-USDT swap on OKX, CoinGlass data shows.

A liquidation occurs when an exchange forcefully closes a trader’s leveraged position due to the trader’s inability to meet the margin requirements.

Large-scale liquidations can indicate market extremes, like panic selling or buying. A cascade of liquidations might suggest a market turning point, where a price reversal could be imminent due to an overreaction in market sentiment.

The pullback arrived just as bitcoin was gaining momentum on ETF inflows and growing institutional interest, leading some to expect a calm weekend.

Instead, volatility returned in full force. With the macro environment now destabilized by renewed trade war fears, traders may remain cautious heading into next week’s sessions.
