Pittsburgh’s grappling scene takes center stage this Friday as Fight to Win rolls into the Steel City with nearly 50 scheduled matches and a card stretching from rising prospects to experienced black and brown belts.
Fight to Win returns to Pittsburgh on Friday, October 2, bringing its signature superfight format to the Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh International Airport. Doors and competition are scheduled to get underway at 5:00 p.m., with the event also streaming live on FloGrappling.
Rather than building the evening around only a handful of marquee names, Fight to Win 327 is taking the opposite approach: volume.
The current schedule features nearly 50 matches spread across white and blue belts, purple belts, kids and teens, and a closing stretch of black and brown belt competition. That makes Pittsburgh less of a traditional top-heavy superfight card and more of a showcase of the region’s entire competitive jiu-jitsu ecosystem.
The Upper Belts Take Over
The final portion of the card is scheduled to feature a collection of black and brown belt matches, including a Welterweight Title Match Between Isaac Greeley vs. Michael Hudak. Other black belt matches include Catherine Farrell vs. Hope Chase, Nick Sutton vs. Christopher Emery, Jeff Mock vs. Ronald Snee, and Rocky Long vs. Mark Farrell.
Also scheduled are Josh Hogans vs. Joshua Bergfelt, Noah Miller vs. Devin Forgey, Lucas Brandieri vs. Tyler Pratte, Gerry Rayburn vs. Eric Decker, and Vince Rock vs. Alonzo Lyles.
Hope Chase is currently slated for additional action against Maiah Yankello as well, potentially giving her two opportunities to make an impression before the night is over.
With professional grappling continuing to expand beyond the small group of athletes regularly seen on major international cards, events like Fight to Win remain an important proving ground. A strong performance under the lights can turn a regional name into someone fans begin recognizing outside their own academy or hometown.
And Pittsburgh will have plenty of opportunities for somebody to do exactly that.
Purple Belts Could Steal the Show
Before the black and brown belts hit the mat, Fight to Win 327 has assembled a substantial purple belt lineup.
Among the scheduled matches are Alex Kruszewski vs. Lou Castriota, Ty Westwood vs. Ian Mariola, Rachel Jenkins vs. Hannah Maple, Matt Darwin vs. Eddie Watt, Brittany Mack vs. Jessica Drury, and Damon Morosko vs. Anthony Medina.
The purple belt section alone currently contains more than a dozen matches, creating the type of environment where one unexpected submission or breakout performance can become one of the most memorable moments of the entire event.
That unpredictability has always been part of the appeal of regional superfight cards. The athlete without the massive social media following or international résumé can suddenly find themselves delivering the performance everyone is talking about the following morning.
A Showcase From the Ground Up
The event begins with an extensive slate of white and blue belt matches before transitioning into kids and teens competition, followed by the purple and upper-belt divisions.
Names including Nico Regoli, Giovanni Morton, Miles Rocco, Max Kazan, Luke Duriancik, Johnny Trinkala, Iceshmere Brown, Ethan Patton, Brandon Rimmel and Alisher Abdurakhmanov are among those currently scheduled for the opening portion of the show.
The kids and teens portion features five scheduled matches before the purple belts take over.
It makes Fight to Win 327 an unusually broad snapshot of competitive jiu-jitsu in one night.
Fans will get athletes still building their competitive identities, experienced regional competitors looking for another big win, and black and brown belts trying to separate themselves from the pack — all competing on the same stage.
Fight to Win 327 takes place Friday, October 2, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh International Airport, located at 710 Aviation Avenue in Pittsburgh. Competition is scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m. Tickets are available through Nitro Tickets, while the event is scheduled to stream live and on demand through FloGrappling.
Fight cards are subject to change.
