Since 2019, BJJ Stars has brought together some of the world’s biggest grappling stars for unforgettable gi and no-gi showdowns to help grow the profile of jiu jitsu, especially in Brazil, where the events typically take place.

The hope has been to create one of the most followed series in the world, while continuing to give the sport’s top talent a platform on which to perform.

Now, it’s time for the next installment, BJJ Stars 18, set for the 11,000-seat Ginásio do Ibirapuera (Gymnasium of Ibirapuera) in Sao Paulo on Nov. 22.

BJJ Stars 18 will be broadcast live on FloGrappling and the FloSports app, with coverage beginning Saturday at 5 p.m. Eastern. Commentary will be provided in English and Portuguese.
