FloGrappling's Official No-Gi Rankings

Men's 205lb No-Gi Rankings

I went back and forth on this a lot. I was ready to put Roberto as the number one guy in the world here, but then after Pedro's run at BJJ Stars 16 I just can't take him away from that top spot. I really want to see those two settle it on the mats, they have proven to be the top two in the world right now.

Mason Fowler is in after his UFC title win and does present some questions where he belongs. After an extended heavyweight campaign, clearly Mason is elite (he does have a win up a weight over Marinho), but because his resume is very limited at this weight I think a top-5 spot with room to move him up is proper. He needs bigger wins over guys at this weight class to move up more.

Rankings do not reflect ADCC Open & 1-star IBJJF Open competition.
