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 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.

Vale lembrar que todos os duelos do evento serão transmitidos ao vivo e exclusivamente pela FloGrappling.
