The Grand Prix will feature eight top grapplers competing for R$100,000 at -83kg (183lbs). The tournament will be held under ADCC rules, including a no points period and overtime if necessary. The event will also feature super fights, including Diogo Reis vs Meyram Maquine.
Isaque Bahiense makes his way back down to -83kg for the first time in a while, as the BJJ Stars mainstay enters the Grand Prix with another gold medal in mind. The IBJJF black belt world champion has been training for a transition to MMA but continues to stay active in grappling when the opportunity arises. His entry was announced on Instagram.
Elijah Dorsey will be making his BJJ Stars debut but has had a lot of success on the world level in his young career. 'Big Breakfast' won the ADCC North American Trials in 2023 and then placed top-4 at the World Championships, showing off great takedowns and strategy. This tournament could be a big breakout opportunity for the young TLI star. His inclusion, along with Oliver's, was announced by Fepa Lopes on the MMA Hoje podcast.
Oliver Taza continues to shine as one of the toughest grapplers in the world at 170lbs and 185lbs, now jumping back into the deep end here against some of the top grapplers in the world. Oliver is a multiple-time ADCC Worlds veteran with a great overall game that is highlighted by his leg locking and escapes. He's got the experience and technique to hang with anyone.
