FloGrappling's Official No-Gi Rankings

Women's Pound-for-Pound No-Gi Rankings

Lis moves up after her legendary performance at No-Gi Worlds. She submitted Adele and Gabi, and has a submission win over Ffion, so I think moving her up right to second makes most sense. Helena won gold as well with all submissions and has a submission win over Clay this year.

Cassia proves she is pound-for-pound special in a very direct way - bumping up 4 weights and winning a world title. Cassia already had a win over Sarah on Fight Pass Invitational when they were brown belts but clearly she's still on this special level and deserves full credit for her wins. She's into the top-5.

One question may be why Lillian is behind BSM after submitting her at No-Gi Worlds; Brianna has a long resume (including two submission wins in the past year over Clay), has won under different rulesets, and done it in multiple weight classes (and the open class). While Lillian's win was obviously impressive, it's just one piece of data. Considering Lillian also lost at Euros, I think it's fair to debut her in this ranking and if she can follow it up with more performances that prove she belongs higher she will move up fast.
