In the second year of the ultimate event, The Crown has named six new kings and queens of grappling exciting on a Sunday full of action that came to you live from Long Beach, CA on November 17.

The IBJJF is back with their premier invitation event The Crown, a tournament that brings together champions, veterans, and up-and-comers to battle it out for supremacy at the end of the IBJJF gi season. With expanded brackets and lots of prize money on the line, this year's event is looking to be bigger and better than last year's inaugural edition. Who has the edge leading into Sunday's action? Let's take a look at every division by favorites, contenders, and darkhorses.

The IBJJF has announced the full eight-person field for the 2024 middleweight bracket at The Crown, with multiple world medalists and top-ranked contenders set to take the mats. The field is headlined by returning finalists Tainan Dalpra and Andy Murasaki, with a strong mix of young talent and veterans.

A segunda edição do IBJJF The Crown segue com seus preparativos em dia para trazer mais um memorável torneio ao cenário internacional do Jiu-Jitsu. Marcado para chegar à famosa Walter Pyramid, em Long Beach, no dia 17 de novembro, o torneio contará com seis divisões de peso, sendo quatro no masculino e duas no feminino, com todos os duelos transmitidos ao vivo e exclusivamente na FloGrappling.

The biggest jiu-jitsu show in Brazilian is returning in a few weeks as BJJ Stars has announced the full card for BJJ Stars 13: Vikings Edition. BJJ Stars is the biggest super fight organization currently operating in Brazil and their thirteenth edition continues their strong tradition of packed cards. This 'Vikings'-themed night will feature IBJJF & ADCC World Champions and be headlined by Mica Galvao facing ADCC Champion & UFC veteran Davi Ramos in no-gi.

When Tainan Dalpra announced his plans to transition to no-gi competition, it was one of the biggest stories in jiu-jitsu. The two-time IBJJF World Champion had mowed through the gi scene and was left with few challenges as the middleweight king. Since then, he has gone 2-0 in no-gi matches with both coming at WNO.

O Who's Number One confirmou mais um duelo bombástico para o card de seu vigésimo quarto evento, que ocorre no dia 20 de junho em Austin, capital do Texas nos Estados Unidos.

There has never been a bigger divide between gi and no-gi jiu-jitsu, but we do see athletes at the highest levels still making the change and competing in both styles. That gives us a great opportunity to contrast the strategies and techniques that they are using and to see how they adjust tactics between the two - and decipher what it means.

Tainan Dalpra will return to no-gi competition soon after his successful debut at the end of 2023. This time, he'll face off with world-ranked contender & multiple-time ADCC Worlds veteran Oliver Taza at WNO 22.

The IBJJF will hold its inaugural premier event, The Crown, on Nov. 19; and the middleweight division is filled with four of the most exciting, active competitors in the world. Tainan Dalpra, Pedro Maia, Andy Murasaki, and Mauricio Oliveira will vie for the Crown and the prize money.

For the last few years, Tainan Dalpra has been one of Brazilian jiu-jitsu's most dominant athletes, winning nearly every tournament available to him in the gi to a record of 71-2. Now, with so many accomplishments already to his name at black belt, Tainan has announced his intentions to compete in no-gi with his debut match scheduled for November 30th when he takes on Troy Russell at Tezos WNO 21: Ryan vs Barbosa.

A king, A hulk, a baby shark and a teenage phenomenon are all headed to WNO 21 in November 2023.

After years of domination in the gi, two-time IBJJF World Champion Tainan Dalpra will be making his no-gi debut against Troy Russell at Tezos WNO 21: Marinho vs Lovato Jr.

With only six divisions being contested, we know all four competitors in the first men's middleweight bracket, worth $15,000 in prize money to the champion.

The IBJJF has announced a slate of superfights that will take place on September 1 at the IBJJF Absolute Grand Prix, part of Jiu-Jitsu Con weekend in Las Vegas, NV.
