FloGrappling's Official No-Gi Rankings

Men's 185lb No-Gi Rankings

A lot of shakeups as people drop for inactivity and new names fill in after worlds. Tye stays one for now but unless he fights someone notable soon that could change. Vagner was ranked at 205 but now we are considering him at 185 following his FPI win.

Ronaldo Junior and David Garmo are now in the rankings after their runs to the world finals, including Garmo tapping out Francisco Lo in an impactful victory.

Jonnatas beat Nicky Ryan at 170 but we are still keeping him at 185 for now unless he fights a little more often at welterweight. If he does, he will be factored into the rankings there as well. Right now though, his body of work at 185 slots him best into the 8 spot.

Rankings do not reflect ADCC Open & 1-star IBJJF Open competition.
