Copa Podio California Results

Copa Podio is heading to America for the first time. That’s right, the popular grappling promotion from Brazil is heading to Vacaville, California for Copa Podio California on March 8th. A couple UFC veterans are set to face each other as Urijah Faber will meet Dustin Ortiz in the main event.

Faber is coming off a loss at UFC 245 where he was knocked out by Petr Yan. He is a jiu jitsu black belt with 17 submission victories in his MMA career. Ortiz last fought in January of 2019 where he was defeated by Joseph Benavidez. He has more of a wrestling back ground but he isn’t afraid to hunt for submissions as he has 4 wins by tap out in his MMA career.

The co-main event at Copa Podio California will feature another pair of MMA fighters. UFC veterans Danny Castillo and Carlos Rocha will face each other in a no-gi super fight.

Also on the card will be two Grand Prix style tournaments. The preliminary card will have a “California Grand Prix” featuring some of the top blackbelts from California. The main card will put on a “Lightweight Grand Prix” featuring names like Jeremy Jackson, Guthierry Barbosa and Leonardo Silva.
