FloGrappling's Official No-Gi Rankings

Men's 170lb No-Gi Rankings

After some consideration, we decided to move Vagner Rocha back to third. He does hold the series records against Barch and Leon, and after more thought the activity level of them at this weight isn't enough to jump him.

Andy Murasaki moves all the way up into the top-10 after his armbar win. Andy is obviously a contender in this division with some of the most technically proficient jiu-jitsu in the world. With more matches in no-gi, he could be a future number one guy.

Some new inclusions after Polaris and European Trials. Corbe and Pearman split matches at Polaris but I think this order is correct given their overall resumes. Nikolay Vetrov wins Trials after picking up the victory over Pearman, but I don't think it's appropriate to move Vetrov over Pearman yet considering it was a very narrow win by penalty, and Taylor has so many good wins. Vetrov debuts in the rankings and if he does well, he'll move up fast.

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