The Official FloGrappling Male Gi Rankings

Heavyweight Male Black Belt Ranking

For the first time in over a year, we have a new number one in the heavyweight rankings. Even though Nolan had a submission loss to Zuchi just a few months ago in this weight class, that run at The Crown and finals win over Adam is impactful enough to debut him at number one. It's a big question heading into next season if Nolan will remain at number one or go back up to super-heavy, where he won Pans and made the World finals.

Usually I'd move Zuchi up to reflect his win over Nolan, but he took a loss at BJJ Stars to medium-heavy Matheus Vetoraci so I think it's fair to keep him where he was.
