5 World Champions Headed To Italy For The IBJJF European Championships

The registration deadline for the 2022 IBJJF European Championships is today, and several athletes have waited until the eleventh hour to throw their names in for the first major tournament of the season.

Those late registrants include two new world champions: Tainan Dalpra and Gabi Pessanha were both confirmed last night.

Dalpra and Pessanha will join Erich Munis, Anna Rodrigues and Mayssa Bastos as the 2021 black belt world champions set to compete at the European Championships in Rome, Italy.

Four of these five athletes earned their first world titles in December of 2021; Bastos earned her second Worlds gold last year.

Several other key competitors registered yesterday, including roosterweight favorite Thalison Soares, Norwegian lightweight Espen Mathiesen, and UK-born Margot Ciccarelli.

Feb 14-20, 2022, TBD
