Two high-profile bouts at the Hype FC tournament in Brazil ended in draws under the event's submission-only format. The first draw occurred between Sean O'Malley and Marlon Vera, while the second featured Deiveson Figueiredo and Raul Rosas Jr. In submission-only grappling competitions, no winner is declared unless one competitor successfully submits their opponent, meaning both matches concluded without a finish. The participation of these notable UFC fighters in a grappling-specific event demonstrates the growing crossover appeal between MMA and pure grappling competitions. These exhibition matches allow fighters to compete without the risk of strikes while showcasing their ground skills.
