The Rio de Janeiro-bon grappler, now based in Texas, will make his third trip to the biennial no-gi submissiong grappling tournament.
Competing in the +99kg division in 2015, Rocha fought his way through a 40-minute absolute division final to lose a 0-0 decision to overall winner Claudio Calasans.
Rocha had beaten friend and occasional training partner Rodolfo Vieira in the semi-final earlier in the tournament.
