On November 6, 2021, Bodoni won the ADCC North American East Coast trials in the 88kg division, earning his place at the 2022 ADCC World Championship.[5] On February 9, 2022, he competed in the main event of Fight 2 Win 193 against Igor Schneider and won the match by unanimous decision.[6]

In September 2022, he was not considered one of the pre-tournament favorites to win ADCC 2022 at 88kg. He defeated Isaque Bahiense on points before submitting Matheus Diniz, Eoghan O'Flanagan, and Lucas 'Hulk' Barbosa to win the division.[7] He then competed in the absolute division as well, submitting Haisam Rida before losing on points to his teammate Nicholas Meregali.[8]

Bodoni was then invited to compete in EBI 20: The Absolutes on October 23, 2022.[9] At the same time, he was given the opportunity to compete against Pedro Marinho for the Who's Number One Light-Heavyweight title on November 11, 2022.[10] When competing at EBI 20, Bodoni won his first match against Austin Baker but was injured in the process and withdrew from the rest of the tournament.[11] The same injury also forced him to withdraw from his title-fight against Marinho the following month.

Bodoni competed in an 8-man tournament at Blue Collar FC: American Dream Conference on September 1, 2023.[19] He defeated all three of his opponents and won the tournament.[20]

Bodoni competed in an 8-man absolute grand prix tournament at Polaris 25 on September 30, 2023.[21] He won his first match by submission but lost in the semi-final to Fabricio Andrey.[22] This match with Andrey won 'Match of the Year' at the JitsMagazine BJJ Awards 2023.[23] He then stepped in on short notice to replace his teammate Gordon Ryan in a match against Lucas 'Hulk' Barbosa at Who's Number One 21 on November 30, 2023.[24] He won the match by judge's decision.[25]
