If you’re a grappling fan – gi and no-gi – and a FloGrappling subscriber, you’re in for a treat this weekend. If you haven’t set subscribed, there’s still time.

FloGrappling helps kick off the holiday season with two full days of top-tier competition across two hemispheres. 

The action begins Nov. 22 with BJJ Stars 18, live from Sao Paulo and featuring a card of returning champions and some of the best talent Brazil has to offer. 

BJJ Stars 18 coverage on FloGrappling and the FloSports app will begin at 5 p.m. Eastern. Commentary will be provided in English and Portuguese. 

Fans who survive Saturday’s excitement can join us on the West Coast on Nov. 23 for the 2025 edition of the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation’s The Crown, which will see 48 of the sport’s top competitors converge on Long Beach State’s iconic Walter Pyramid in Long Beach, California, where they’ll spend the day battling for supremacy across six divisions. 

Coverage of The Crown will get underway Sunday at 1 p.m. EST.

BJJ Stars 18 will feature a “Peaky Blinders” theme, though the biggest crime of the evening will be who from the star-studded lineup steals the spotlight at the 11,000-seat Ginásio do Ibirapuera (Gymnasium of Ibirapuera).

The top local favorites at BJJ Stars 18 will be Pedro Marinho, Fabricio Andrey, Meyram Maquine and Vagner Rocha. Maquine was a finalist at 70kgs at BJJ Stars 17, losing to Ruan Alvarenga in the final.

BJJ Stars debuted in 2019 with the hope of someday being the largest Brazilian jiu jitsu event in the world. The events continue to attract the world’s best athletes for super fights and traditional tournament formats.
