For any fans of grappling that want to watch more elite action, the IBJJF No-Gi World Championships will be going down next weekend with dozens of ranked grapplers vying for gold. It all goes down exclusively on FloGrappling.

In the co-main event, Renato Canuto won in an interesting style clash against 3-time NCAA Champion wrestler Jason Nolf. While Renato was unable to score any points of his own, Nolf was penalized for passivity in the sub-only period and for going out of bounds in a submission and was unable to make up the difference in the points period.

Ronaldo used his physicality, pace, and experience to run down Nick Mataya, locking up the anaconda in overtime to get the tap. The 2023 IBJJF No-Gi World Champion looked great keeping a tempo that over time let him pull ahead. Jonnatas Gracie took home the W against Kyle Chambers, using a suffocating top game to put up the most points of the evening (10) en route to locking in the anaconda. Submitting Kyle is an incredible statement for the WNO Champion, given Chambers’s grit and ability to escape.

Raquel Canuto won again on the FPI stage, pushing her record to 4-0 with a submission win over Michele Oliveira. Ryan Aitken continued his red-hot run through the end of 2024, winning his FPI debut by points after a close, cagey match with veteranGabriel Almeida. Aitken has followed up tournament wins on PGF & EBI with victories at ADCC and now Fight Pass.

Damien Anderson returned to the grappling mats after an extended focus on MMA, defeating Ares’s Sandrey Silva by submission after snatching the back in over time. The B-Team black belt called out the UFC’s roster for a grappling match after the match, which makes sense given his MMA aspirations. Luccas Lira was also able to score a notable win, defeating Michael Pixley by points after a near submission in the opening minute. Joining Luccas in victory was his wife, Maggie Grindatti Lira, who won her match against Giovanna Carniero by inside heel hook inside the sub-only period.
