Andrew Tackett calls out Paddy Pimblett after nasty UFC BJJ 10 win; Moura vs. Fornarino finals set

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - Andrew Tackett secured a dominant victory over Jonnatas Gracie in the UFC BJJ 10 event, showcasing his exceptional skills in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Tackett's first-round finish was a testament to his prowess, as he executed a brutal submission, trapping Gracie's arm and forcing a tap. The win marked Tackett's fourth welterweight title defense, cementing his position as the most successful welterweight champion in the promotion.

After the fight, Tackett took to social media to call out several high-profile names, including BJJ stars Jozef Chen and Mica Galvao, as well as a potential rematch with Kade Ruotolo. He also challenged MMA fighters, particularly Sean Brady, and Paddy Pimblett, for a fight in the UFC BJJ ring, emphasizing his belief that most jiujitsu practitioners are hesitant to step up to the challenge.

Meanwhile, Adele Fornarino and Cassia Moura advanced to the flyweight finals with impressive performances. Fornarino secured a first-round sub over Carol Brunacio, while Moura earned a first-round armbar over Bre Stikk. The winners of the finals will become the inaugural UFC BJJ flyweight champions.
