Italy showed out for the 2025 Ocean BJJ Pro Championship Finale, and the athletes delivered with four brackets stacked with action. From breakout stars to established contenders reclaiming their spot at the top, the event felt like another big step forward for one of Europe’s fastest-growing grappling markets.

While North and South America continue to produce the majority of top grappling talent, it's undeniable that the rest of the World is putting out elite talent at a higher rate than ever. One of the most prolific regions has been Europe, which had their first ever ADCC World Champion in 2022. Now, in 2022, thirteen more world class Euro athletes will make their way to T-Mobile with a chance to stamp themselves as one of the very best on the planet.
