The field is set at The Crown for lightweight, with all eight participants announced on Instagram last week by the IBJJF. The bracket will be headlined by defending Crown champion and reigning World champion Luiza Monteiro, who announced her retirement from Worlds after taking gold. Now she will return to the Pyramid for perhaps the last time with one last chance at the top of the podium.

Faltando pouco mais de um mês para a segunda edição do IBJJF The Crown, que ocorre no dia 17 de novembro, os competidores estão na reta final de suas preparações, enquanto a federação aos poucos revela os nomes que irão compor o torneio deste ano. Com oito atletas por chave, quatro divisões de peso no masculino e duas no feminino, o evento promete superar sua edição anterior e trazer ainda mais ação para os tatames na famosa Walter Pyramid, em Long Beach. Vale lembrar que todos os duelos do evento serão transmitidos ao vivo e exclusivamente pela FloGrappling.

The IBJJF will be holding their inaugural premier tournament 'The Crown' this November, and divisions continue to fill up with invited athletes. Now, we know all four competitors in the first lightweight bracket, worth $15,000 in prize money to the champion.

There are only 10 athletes in 2023 who have accomplished the ultra-difficult task of winning the IBJJF Europeans, Pans, and Brasileiros, with a chance to win a world championship in just a few days. Keep an eye on these grapplers as they navigate their brackets and attempt to add to their already impressive resumes.

Two-time IBJJF world champion Victor Hugo had a landmark weekend at the 2023 IBJJF Brasileiro in São Paulo, where he conquered double gold, submitting six of his seven opponents.

Luiza Monteiro is one of the most accomplished women in the jiu-jitsu. Currently, she holds the record for winning the most IBJJF Pans titles; she shares that record with her Professor Andre Galvao. They are both nine-time IBJJF Pan Champions.

The black belts came ready to put on a show at the 2023 IBJJF Pan Championships. Filled with some of the best matches of the year, Pans delivered a mix of submission thrills and gritty fights that went the distance. Here are 10 of the best bouts from Pans 2023:

The return of Worlds, the growth of WNO, and the emergence of a new generation of champion grapplers– just a handful of the high points of a rollercoaster 12-month period that rarely took its foot off the gas pedal. Of course, there were also less positive happenings; confrontations, team splits, and more.
