Nicholas Meregali is set to make his 2021 competition debut Feb. 6 at the BJJ Stars Heavyweight Grand Prix where he'll jump into the stacked eight-man bracketing featuring the likes of Felipe Pena, Erberth Santos, Lucas 'Hulk' Barbosa, Eric Munis, Luiz Panza, Yuri Simoes and Gutemberg Pereira.  

Meregali, a 2x black belt World Champion, is one of the most exciting athletes of his generation who blends a furious pursuit of the submission with pinpoint technical accuracy. 

Meregali's exciting style has caught the eye of Keenan Cornelius – (no doubt in part to their absolutely incredible match from the 2019 World Championships – who broke down no less than four of Meregali's most impressive victories.
