Just about two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of competing in one of the biggest BJJ tournaments of my life – the 2024 ADCC World Championships.

The ADCC World Championships are coming up in a matter of days and the divisions are as stacked as ever, including at -88kg. The biggest story at this weight will be the return of champion Giancarlo Bodoni, the only returning 2022 medalist at the weight, and whether or not he can defend his title. If he manages to do it, he will cement his legacy as not just the best in the world right now but one of the best to ever do it.

Australia is one of grappling's growing hotbeds and over the last ten years or so has really emerged, especially in no-gi and ADCC-style competitions. That's in part because of the way ADCC does their Trials, with Oceanic and Asian competitors getting their own regional competition without the North or South Americans - meaning that Australians get a more direct path to qualifying for Worlds.

The 2024 ADCC World Championship is less than a year away and coming to Las Vegas in August 2024.

ADCC is less than a month away and the elite of the elite will take the mats to fight for the right to call themselves best in the world. For fans of grappling, the greatest technicians on Earth will be taking the mats - including the best of the best when it comes to guard passing.

For the first time since January 2020, gi competition is returning to Tezos WNO on May 18 in Oklahoma City, OK.

The fourth showdown between Gordon Ryan and Felipe Pena is less than a week away. In the last two weeks, we've caught up with both athletes to check in on their training camps, and to hear their takes on the upcoming bout at Tezos WNO: Ryan vs Pena II presented by Fat Tire.
