The finals of the black belt absolute division go down today, Nov 6. at approx 2.30pm live on FloGrappling. 

In the men's final we'll see a showdown between two returning champions: 2013 absolute champion Murilo Santana takes on 2014 absolute champion Yuri Simoes. Neither of them competed in 2015, and this is the first time they will have faced each other no-gi. 

No black belt has ever become a two-time absolute World champion, so today will see one finalist's name be forever written into the history books. 

The female absolute final sees newcomer Nathiely Jesus, a 2015 double gold brown belt absolute champion, take on Alliance veteran Andresa Correa, who took silver in last year's black belt openweight final.
