Samuel Nagai vs Israel Sousa Almeida

Samuel Nagai and Israel Sousa Almeida met at 2024 ADXC 3 in a featherweight matchup between two competitors known for their mobility and offensive output. In the first round, the cage created problems for both fighters, preventing them from completing sweeps from the bottom. The second round saw Almeida fight more conservatively, possibly due to fatigue, while Nagai began to build momentum. Almeida was still able to slow Nagai down with his lasso guard during that period.

By the third round, Nagai sensed an opening as Almeida continued to show signs of tiring. Nagai used the fence to pass Almeida's guard, advanced to mount, transitioned to back control, and finished the match with a shoulder lock.
