One of our favorite events of the year is almost upon us! The IBJJF World Master Jiu-Jitsu Championship serves as a battleground for some of our sport's most storied athletes. Key figures set to compete include: 

• Reigning Masters Champ and legendary competitor Megaton Dias in at Masters 5 lightweight. 
• We'll also see Marcos Tinoco, a Brazilian National and European champion join Vitor Olivera and Caio Almeida in the highly competitive Masters 1 middleweight division. 
• Claudia Do Val, a 3x IBJJF black belt World Champion and 1x Masters World champ, is set to compete in the masters 1 middle-heavyweight division.
• Some may remember Tiago Barros' absolutely savage performance at the World Championships back in June where he had one of the most thrilling matches of the year with Gabriel Sousa – he's also in Masters Worlds at light-feather. 
• Other exciting female athletes to look out for include Kristina Barlaan, Heather Raftery, Tracey Goodell, Rita Gribben, Joanna Ziobronowicz, and Fabiana Borges.
