Nicholas Meregali has seamlessly transitioned from his successful gi career to a successful no-gi career.
His wins against Felipe Pena, Roberto “Cyborg” Abreu, Matheus Diniz, and Kaynan Duarte show that Meregali is indeed a force to be reckoned with in the submission grappling realm.
On the flipside, Vagner Rocha – a seasoned veteran, known for his ability to put on a pace – is going to pose a significant challenge to Meregali.
Despite being 41 years old, Rocha continues to compete at the highest level; and has amassed impressive victories over opponents such as Meregali’s New Wave teammate Luke Griffith, IBJJF world champion Fellipe Andrew, and light heavyweight Pedro Marinho.
