Mica Galvao is entering the contest on the back of an impressive winning streak.
He first won the WNO welterweight title last October at WNO 20: Night of Champions; when he defeated Jay Rodriguez and PJ Barch.
Since then, the 20-year-old phenom has maintained his dominance, successfully defending his title with Rear Naked Choke victories over Kody Steele and ADCC veteran Kenta Iwamoto.

On the opposing side, Tommy Langaker brings his own impressive credentials to the table.
Having transitioned from a successful gi career to no-gi in 2022, Langaker wasted no time in making his mark; as he first won gold at the ADCC European Trials and then claimed victories over renowned competitors like Renato Canuto and Oliver Taza.
And then, in 2023, he won the IBJJF No-Gi World Championship title.
