In the quarterfinal of the 2020 Pan American Champion, the highly acclaimed three-time world champion, Otavio Sousa, faced off against Joseph Watson. It is worth noting that Sousa, who has spent the majority of his illustrious professional career competing in the middleweight division, was competing in the medium heavyweight division in this particular bout.

The bout started with Watson assuming an aggressive posture, employing his prompt guard to control Sousa through an under-leg lock. Despite this, Sousa relied on his exceptional strategic prowess, which has become synonymous with his name in the griping sport. He executed sweep and passed the guard maneuvers with great precision. Through his methodical performance, Sousa was able to establish a dominant half guard position, which Watson struggled to escape. However, Sousa's strong grip and pressure on Joseph’s stomach nullified all Watson’s attempts to gain the dominant position.

As this interesting bout progressed, Sousa transitioned into an armbar that forced Joseph Watson to tap.
