We get by with a little help from our friends couldn't have been more true today with the remaining four-man battles giving way to head-to-head action in Saquarema. Winter Vincent's valiant showing in the Round of 32 set up fellow Australian George Pittar to join the world's best as Edgard Groggia's fate now awaits more action to unfold. Plus, with Joel Vaughan and Hiroto Ohhara matching up in the Round of 16, Marco Mignot earned his bid as a 2025 CT rookie as Vaughan also added his name to the illustrious CT roster. For the women, the last spot is still up for grabs with Yolanda Hopkins, Vahine Fierro, Sophia Medina, and Luana Silva all advancing into the Quarterfinals. Fierro's excellent form sent her message that she's not done yet while Medina battled her way in gritty form to show she's up for the task. All-important Quarterfinal bouts await with a possible Finals Day looming.
