Ffion Davies, Rafael Lovato Jr., Vagner Rocha Win Big at Polaris 9

Polaris 9 has come and gone, and its newest champions have been crowned in London.

Fight of the Night unquestionably goes to Welsh grappler Ffion Davies, who took on multiple-time world champion, Polaris veteran, and overall lethal Brazilian Gezary Matuda and came out victorious in less than three minutes. The tap came via Davies’ airtight head and arm triangle coming off an escape from Matuda’s arm-in guillotine submission attempt. Davies, recently featured internationally as part of EBI’s female strawweight card in 2018, has been a force to be reckoned with lately and shows no signs of slowing down. She is currently an IBJJF No-Gi Worlds champ, and won gold at the European Championships back in January.

Rafael Lovato Jr. and Vagner Rocha are also leaving London with belts. Lovato Jr. won by unanimous decision after a wrestling-heavy distance bout against Jake Shields, while Rocha took the “W” by split decision after a close battle with Ross Nicholls.

A complete list of winners is forthcoming.
