The tournament will feature a unique ruleset that features both points and overtime periods. Matches will be eight minutes long and feature standard point-scoring much like IBJJF-rules contests, but with no advantages. In the case of a draw, there will be a three-minute overtime round, and a judges decision if this extra period ends in a draw. Heel hooks are permitted.
One of the most anticipated aspects of this event is the return of Leandro Lo to no-gi competition. His last no-gi match was in September 2021 at the ADCC World Championships.
“It’s been a long time since I competed no-gi," said Lo. "I think now I’ll start competing more no-gi, I don’t know, depending on this, we’ll see if ti goes well. I’m excited, I trained a lot, studied a lot of no-gi.”
Superfights
IBJJF World champions Nicholas Meregali, Matheus Gabriel and Tayane Porfirio all feature in main card superfights. Meregali, who weighed in at 99kg, will face the last-minute replacement Rider Zuchi (97.6kg) after Felipe Pena pulled out with a torn pectoral muscle.
This is the first time Matheus Gabriel has competed in Brazil since he was a blue belt. A black belt world champion, the last time Gabriel competed in a jiu-jitsu event in his home country was way back in 2015. Gabriel faces off with Luan Carvalho in a gi match.
Tayane Porfirio was suspended by USADA for a doping violation relating to the 2018 IBJJF World Championships and is ineligible to compete in IBJJF tournaments until 2022. Over the last year she has lost approximately 50lb, dropping from +140kg (over 310lb) to 113kg (249lb). She faces Gabi Pessanha (84.1kg) in a gi match.
