With Drew Gulak, there’s no better place to start than the match that got him here in the first place: his qualifying clash with Tracy Williams at EVOLVE 61.

If Jack Gallagher and Zack Sabre Jr. are the Classic’s most clinical technicians, Gulak is undoubtedly its most brutal. Epitomising the mantra of “competition above all else,” here he is holding absolutely nothing back against his “Catch Point” stablemate Williams.

The burning desire to win and qualify for the tournament shone through in both men’s performances, and they both worked with real vigor throughout. In the end, Gulak came-out looking like a truly dangerous submission grappler, and above all else, a man possessed to succeed in the Cruiserweight Classic.
