The Texas-based Who’s Number One event returned on Friday in an event headlined by Gordon Ryan and Jacob Couch. Couch was originally scheduled to face Gordon’s brother Nicky Ryan, but a knee injury forced him to withdraw from the match. The co-main event was a highly anticipated matchup between Mica Galvao and Dante Leon, two of the most aggressive and technical middleweight grapplers in the world. Another feature match was between two-time IBJJF World Champion Nicholas Meregali against IBJJF No-Gi World Champion Arnaldo Maidana.
