Who Is IN For The IBJJF Pans? Notable Entries At Black Belt

The IBJJF Pan Championships are right around the corner and registration is now closed. With the divisions roughly set (tho some may move to a new weight class), it's time to see who is in for one of the year's most prestigious events.

The IBJJF Pan Championship is the second of their four annual major championships, joining the European, Brazilian, and World Championships. The Euros was a wild affair with tons of action and one of the best finals rounds we have seen in years so the anticipation is high for Pans.

One division that is going to be especially spicy is the heavyweight class, where Adam Wardzinski, Gustavo Batista, Pedro Machado, Roberto Jimenez, and Patrick Gaudio are all expected to contend. Last year it was Machado of Atos submitting Wardzinski and earning gold (after a post-event DQ of Fellipe Andrew for a doping violation). Everyone in this bracket has something to prove here.
