The 22-year-old has already beaten the electric Fabricio ‘Hokage’ Andrey in stunning fashion. And he’s ready to do it again in their featherweight submission grappling rematch this Friday, October 3, in Bangkok, Thailand.

The 22-year-old CheckMat product shocked the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world when he pulled off a mighty upset win over his compatriot at the 2025 IBJJF World Championships earlier this year.

Despite entering as a massive underdog, Granzotto maintained composure amid ‘Hokage’s' blistering attacks to score crucial points in gi competition.

While the rematch will be contested in no-gi under ONE’s unique submission grappling ruleset, Granzotto believes the results will stay the same in their sequel.

The Rio de Janeiro native told ONE in his pre-event interview:

"Grappling no-gi and gi complete each other. The rules change, but jiu-jitsu is the same. I can't wait for the show. The main thing is to believe and trust in myself, in what I trained, and the whole journey that brought me to this moment. I know I'm capable of doing this again, and I'm looking forward to it."
