Star of the UFC-promoted grappling event, 22-year-old Andrew Tackett, once again displayed his quality on the mat. Last Thursday (11), in Las Vegas (USA), the athlete shone in the main fight of UFC BJJ 4 by submitting Eljiah Dorsey in just over two minutes. In this way, the American defended the welterweight belt and, not satisfied, starred in unusual moments after the fight.
In the fight itself, Tackett took down his opponent, defended against his submission attempts, and capitalized when he had the chance. Technically skilled, the athlete quickly submitted Dorsey with a heel hook. Defending his belt for the second time and maintaining his undefeated record in the company, the American earned the 'Submission of the Night' bonus and was surprised by none other than Royce Gracie.

A fan of fighting, the jiu-jitsu and UFC legend attended the event and placed the title around Tackett's waist. As expected, the American was surprised and warmly embraced the veteran. Excited, the athlete, already looking ahead to his next fight, challenged Michael Chandler to a potential grappling match. Now, it remains to be seen if the star of Dana White's organization will accept the challenge.
"Chandler, if you want, let's do this! See you at the top!", said the UFC BJJ champion.
