Aptly dubbed 'Hokage' for his sleuth-like precision and deadly killer instincts, the 25-year-old from Manaus, Brazil, is indeed a submission hunter through and through.

Andrey's dynamic athleticism and deep understanding of the intricacies of 'The Gentle Art' truly sets him apart from the competition.

The Brazilian grappler already has a stunning resume which includes gold medal victories at the IBJJF European Championships, the Brazilian Nationals, and the ADCC South American Trials.

Andrey, though, really proved he is world-class when he submitted the decorated Jamil Hill-Taylor in the 2021 IBJJF World Championships.

Looking to steal 'Hokage's thunder, however, is the upset-seeking Ash Williams. While not as globally revered as his counterpart, the Welsh-born grappler is one of the most respected athletes in the European BJJ Circuit.
