Will Nicholas Meregali and Felipe Pena face each other in a no-gi superfight?
Well, it seems like that’s something that at least Felipe Pena wants to do!
Actually, Meregali called out Pena for a $20,000 gi superfight:
There wasn’t a 2021 fight because I was disqualified and on top of that you lost the title for doping. Let’s do this fight and see who will be the 2021 Absolute Champion.
The same $20,000 I bet for the 2023 champion is on the table to fight you.
The legend “Preguica” wouldn’t run away from this fight.

Pena responded in the comments [translated from Portuguese]:
Like I said, I’m only training no-gi and aim to beat his friend [Gordon Ryan] once he stops with the sh*t.
As you said yourself you are training only no-gi we can marry that 20k in no-gi fight no problem.
I know you want the stage but you’re like a spoiled little girl in adolescence. Perform a hakuma matata ritual to calm you down.
But what is Pena referring to when he says “a hakuma matata ritual”?
He’s most likely referring to the video below and his call out of Meregali:
What you talked about I’m open to a fight anytime.
Currently I’m only training no-gi, waiting for his friend to recover from diarrhea so we can fight, so if you want we can fight no-gi.
We can do a fight in the gi after this mine and Gordon fight happens.
That’s when I plan on training again and competing in gi!
