Carlos Bebeto Oliveira and Jackson Nagai will both attempt to make history this week when they take the mats at the 2024 IBJJF Masters World Championships. If they win, they become the first black belts to win an adult and masters world gold medal in the same year in the gi.

This would be an incredible accomplishment and a testament to the dedication and physical conditioning both champions have. Bebeto and Jackson won their adult divisions this year at the 2024 IBJJF Worlds - the Masters portion should be the easy part of the record.

Bebeto is entered at light-feather after winning rooster this year. His first match will be Thursday at 10:18am PST.

Jackson Nagai is entered into middleweight, the same weight he won this year at Worlds. His first match will be at 10:50am PST on Thursday.

The World Masters is a tournament that gives older grapplers an opportunity to compete against their best contemporaries and is split into five year increments of age along with traditional belt and weight divisions.
