Technical wizard Keenan Cornelius is returning to action to compete at the 2017 IBJJF World No-Gi Championships in Anaheim, CA, this weekend.

• On Atos winning gold in all black belt divisions

• On how Atos competitors chose weight classes for No-Gi Worlds with such a deep roster

• On new tricks he’s bringing to the 2017 No-Gi Worlds
