UPDATED - IBJJF Worlds Registration: Who's In?

We are only a few weeks away from the start of the 2025 IBJJF Worlds and the divisions are stacked - especially at the black belt level. In every weight, there are world class athletes ready to take the mats for their shot at glory and gold. Who should fans be looking out for this weekend when action kicks off?

Black belt matches start on Saturday and continue onto Sunday. Things will begin with the absolute brackets (which will be set the day before) until the finals are set. Then they will run the elimination rounds. Women's brackets will also run the quarters and semis, with finalists advancing to the finals. For the men's brackets, the top 8 advance to Saturday and things begin that day with the quarters.

Full registrations can be found here, some elite black belts may have entered since this list was made.
