The Crown will be an annual event and will feature four grapplers competing in six weight classes, including two women's weight classes. According to FloGrappling's Joe Gilpin, the event "aims to elevate athletes to a new level of prestige and honor in BJJ. Both accomplishments and excitement were taken into consideration for who was invited to participate."
