In Turin, Italy, Ettore and Andres step back onto the mat for a rematch with a very specific challenge: determine who deserves to be called the King of Sankaku. After their first meeting earlier this year, both judokas return stronger, more powerful, and even more dangerous in a special GRPL Submission Wrestling superfight built entirely around triangle chokes, sankaku attacks, and leg-based choking control.
This is not a standard choke-only Submission Wrestling match. Under this special King of Sankaku ruleset, only chokes created through sankaku, triangle choke setups, or other leg-based choke positions are allowed. The first athlete to force a successful submission with one of these attacks wins the match. That means every exchange is shaped by the same central threat: who can create the correct angle, lock the legs, control the posture, and finish with a sankaku.

The Match Breakdown
This rematch carries extra tension because Andres won their first encounter at the beginning of the year. For Ettore, this second meeting is a chance to change the story. For Andres, it is an opportunity to prove that the first result was not a one-time moment. But the special ruleset makes this fight completely different from a normal Submission Wrestling match.
Both athletes have clearly developed since their first battle. They return to the mat with noticeably more physical strength, especially through the legs, which makes this sankaku-only format even more dangerous. In a match where triangle chokes and leg-based chokes are the only ways to win, leg strength, hip control, and angle management become decisive weapons.
From the opening exchanges, the match is built around constant positional danger. A takedown is not just a takedown. A scramble is not just a scramble. Every movement can become an entry into sankaku. If one athlete leaves an arm trapped, loses posture, or gives up the wrong angle, the entire match can shift instantly.
Ettore repeatedly shows why he is so dangerous when he can connect takedowns to triangle choke setups. His attacks are built around pressure, timing, and fast transitions into leg-based control. When he gets the angle he wants, the position becomes extremely difficult to survive. Andres, however, displays excellent composure and defense, staying active in dangerous positions and refusing to allow Ettore to settle too easily.
Andres also has his own moments of danger. His judo and ne-waza create openings where he can bring Ettore to the tatami and begin building sankaku attacks of his own. That is what makes this matchup so compelling: both athletes are hunting the exact same weapon, and every failed attack can immediately become a counter opportunity for the other fighter.
As the match develops, the tension becomes increasingly specific. It is not about who can dominate every area of the fight. It is about who can win the sankaku battle. Who can control the hips? Who can close the legs at the right moment? Who can maintain posture under pressure? Who can survive long enough to counter?
This special King of Sankaku superfight highlights a unique side of GRPL Submission Wrestling: a focused ruleset that forces both athletes into a technical battle around one dangerous submission family. Ettore and Andres deliver a tense rematch built on explosive takedowns, leg strength, triangle choke threats, and constant positional danger.
For fans of Submission Wrestling, judo, sankaku attacks, and triangle choke strategy, this match is a rare technical showcase where every exchange revolves around one question: who can truly claim the crown as King of Sankaku? format.
