Their first encounter took place at the 2025 IBJJF World Championships earlier this year, where Granzotto eliminated 'Hokage.' He did so despite coming into the match as a huge underdog.

Eduardo Granzotto showcased his crisp methodical approach to the game, putting a lot of pressure on his opponent and complementing it with solid defense in scoring all-important points on his way to victory.

He took special pride in the win, describing it as one of his best to date and looking to duplicate it in his ONE Championship debut at ONE Fight Night 36.
