The Official FloGrappling Male Gi Rankings

Featherweight Male Black Belt Ranking

Cole Abate navigates a tough bracket for his first IBJJF gi major gold and is now into the top-5. We keep Kennedy above him, Kennedy had the win at Euros and won 3 majors in 2024 (but has had some losses since). Cleber beats Alex Sodre, but considering he has a light resume at feather I don't think he should jump Alex outright - Alex has truly elite wins at the weight like Fabricio, Doederlein, Kennedy, and more.
