IBJJF No-Gi Worlds Are This Weekend, See Which Stars Signed Up To Compete
The 2016 IBJJF No-Gi World championships go down on November 5-6 in San Francisco, and you'll be able to watch every single match LIVE and on demand exclusively on FloGrappling

Confirmed competitors for the 2016 No-Gi World championships are below -- take a look at the stacked light and middleweight divisions, featuring some of the toughest no-gi grapplers in the world. 

Lightweight is possibly the most stacked and competitive division. We can expect to see Gianni Grippo and Mansher Khera from Marcelo Garcia's team in New York. Joining them is Enrico Cocco of Fight Sports who put on a strong display in the recent Grappling Pro Championship 170-pound no-gi tourney. AJ Agazarm is signed up to compete, as is Garry Tonon (although we're waiting confirmation if he will be able to following a recent cut sustained in training). Marcio Andre of Nova Uniao will make an appearance, as will Augusto "Tanquinho," who returns from injury and a break from jiu-jitsu while he focused on MMA. 

There are many notable names throughout the weight classes, but standouts include:  
• UFC fighter Gilbert "Durinho" Burns at middleweight
• Marcelo Garcia's troops Jon Satava, Marcos Tinoco, and Matheus Diniz 
• The Unity Jiu-Jitsu training group of Murilo Santana, Joao Miyao, and Felipe Silva
• Soul Fighters representatives Joao Gabriel Rocha and Diego Aruajo 
• Team Lloyd Irvin's Tim Spriggs, in at super heavyweight, and Mahamed Aly at ultra heavy
• The return of Kit Dale from a long layoff following ACL surgery 
• Atos jiu-jitsu's Lucas "Hulk" (2015 champion) and Josh Hinger

Brasa CTA are coming out in force for No-Gi Worlds. Candidates for medals among the team's entrants include Caio Terra himself at rooster, Mikey Musumeci and Vitor Paschoal at light feather, Kim Terra and Gabriel Marangoni at feather, Yuri Simoes at ultra heavyweight, and Tammi Musumeci at female lightweight.
