UFC BJJ 2 Results: Tackett Defends; Fowler Wins Title
Tackett makes his first defense
UFC BJJ 2 took place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas on July 31, 2025. Andrew Tackett defended his welterweight title by submitting Renato Canuto with a D’Arce choke in Round 1. Mason Fowler won the inaugural light heavyweight championship by submitting David Garmo with a rear-naked choke in the first round.
Fowler wins the vacant belt
The main event was Tackett’s first title defense. Canuto challenged him with early wrestling and a kimura attempt, but Tackett reversed the position and secured the choke during a scramble. Fowler’s win over Garmo crowned the promotion’s first light heavyweight champion.
The card also featured William Tackett’s rear-naked choke win over Kyle Chambers and Raquel Canuto’s kneebar submission of Morgan Black. Tammi Musumeci won a decision over Leilani Bernales, while Kennedy Maciel and Ademir Barreto went the distance.
The event added two title results to UFC BJJ’s second card: one champion retained his belt, and a new champion was crowned at light heavyweight.
The results page recorded both championship bouts as first-round submissions. Tackett and Fowler therefore left the event with different outcomes: Tackett retained the belt he had won at UFC BJJ 1, and Fowler became the first champion at 205 pounds.
