When the moment for redemption finally came at ONE Fight Night 36 on Prime Video, the 25-year-old unleashed his entire arsenal and made sure he's not going to be denied this time.

'Dudu' shocked the world when he came in as a massive underdog and vanquished 'Hokage' via points in the IBJJF World Championships earlier this year.

Needless to say, Andrey took that loss personally. The Brazilian compatriots renewed their rivalry in an explosive featherweight submission grappling showdown on ONE Championship's global stage on October 3.

'Hokage' was on a mission, relentlessly charging with the feverish gusto of a man seeking vindication. He pressed forward, initiated scrambles, and showcased the aggressive style that made him an absolute fan-favorite.

His top game was suffocating, and his seamless transitions cut like butter. Granzotto defended admirably, but the Alliance affiliate's pressure was unrelenting.

Halfway through the match, 'Hokage' reminded everyone why he's the most entertaining showman in grappling.

Out of nowhere, the 25-year-old sensation launched into a flying armbar attempt, showcasing his unparalleled creativity.

As they crashed into the ring ropes, Andrey adjusted mid-flight and switched to a belly-down armbar.

It appeared Granzotto had nowhere to go. Victory seemed inevitable for Andrey.
