The 2021 World Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF Championship is only 24 days away! Matheus Gabriel says he'll return to the featherweight division for Worlds. The Checkmat star, who took gold at the IBJJF Brazilian Nationals this year at lightweight and the Pan No-Gi Championships at middleweight, was persuaded to drop to the weight class by his coach Lucas Leite. Gabriel conquered gold in 2019 in his first World Championship as a black belt competitor. His teammate and training partner Samuel Nagai is also going to compete in the same division. A few notable names told us they’re skipping the IBJJF World Championships this year. Gianni Grippo will miss his first Worlds since 2006 as he said he’s been too focused on no-gi to flip-flop between the two styles. He competed every year without fail from 2007 to 2019. Haisam Rida said the same thing, as he’s invested more into no-gi throughout the last 12 months that he’s been in the USA. Horlando Monteiro of Kimura shared with us that he will be unable to compete at Worlds in December. The Brazilian, who took over 40 students from his Hawaii gym to compete in Las Vegas, is dealing with a number of injuries and hasn’t competed since December of 2020. World Master champion Vitor Oliveira was spotted in Las Vegas with his arm in a sling. Can you believe the veteran black belt had to sit out this year’s tournament because he tore his bicep playing disc golf? And they say jiu-jitsu is dangerous.

Gianni Grippo talks about his crazy upcoming competitions schedule. He competes in Abu Dhabi at King of Mats and World Pro later this month, then to Brazil for Brazilian Nationals in early May! "I have the desire to compete all the time, that’s pretty much it. It’s what I enjoy doing. I enjoy being out there competing. You get nervous, you want to perform well, and there’s all this anxiety you have to deal with. Even now after all of these years of competing, it’s just something I really enjoy doing. "This year has been solid so far. I’ve been getting some of the results that I wanted—obviously, I want more. But that’s just my competitive mindset. When I start getting something I just think, 'What’s next, what more can I get?' It’s like an addiction, winning is an addiction to me. "I want to ride the wave. I want to keep going after it as many times as I can, and these tournaments are exciting. It’s something against different against people I haven’t fought before, some people I have fought before… Some I’ve won, some I’ve lost. Good challenges that I’m excited about. "Competing in Abu Dhabi at these two tournaments is exciting. It’s going to be a crazy week. But I like pushing myself in that type of way, having as many matches as possible. "And then after watching Brazilian Nationals last year, I didn’t care how crazy my schedule was this year I was determined to make it happen this year so I got my tickets to go there and be a part of it, which is going to be awesome." Grippo also reveals that he hasn’t spent any of the money he won last year from the 2017 Abu Dhabi World Pro, and should he win again that he plans to take Matheus Diniz out for lunch!
