WNO 31 is shaping up to be one of the most compelling cards of the year, packed with title matches, high-stakes rematches, and ranked contenders facing off in grappling super fight action. It's all going down in Round Rock, TX on December 5th and we’re breaking down the biggest storylines to watch out for and keep in mind before the athletes step on the mat.

WNO 30 just got another major boost, as Felipe 'Laranjinha' Costa has officially entered the Open Weight Grand Prix bracket. The ADCC medalist & WNO veteran is one of the best in the world and will look to navigate the tough field on October 24th in Pittsburgh, PA.

With 2024 coming to a close, it's time to reflect on one of the biggest years in grappling history. There was so much great action and so many elite athletes putting on incredible performances that we expanded our pool of nominees to eight - eight women who have risen above the field to be nominated for grappler of the year

The IBJJF made the announcement last week on Instagram, in the following post;

The ADCC World Championships are coming up in a matter of days and the divisions are as stacked as ever, including at -88kg. The biggest story at this weight will be the return of champion Giancarlo Bodoni, the only returning 2022 medalist at the weight, and whether or not he can defend his title. If he manages to do it, he will cement his legacy as not just the best in the world right now but one of the best to ever do it.
