The ADCC West Coast Trials are going down in Las Vegas, Nevada this weekend from March 30-31 at the Westgate Hotel. The event will feature 1,000 athletes from the world's top gyms and academies competing to secure a spot at ADCC World Championships.

Fresh off a successful title defense against Patrick Gaudio, Tezos WNO heavyweight champion Gordon Ryan is set to return to the Tezos WNO main event on Nov. 30 at Tezos WNO 21, when he takes on Lucas "Hulk" Barbosa in Austin, TX.

Nicholas Meregali returned to the gi competition scene in style, winning double gold at the 2023 Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championships in dominating fashion. Meregali had stepped away from the gi to focus on no-gi, joining Professor John Danaher, Gordon Ryan, and the rest of the burgeoning New Wave team in Austin, TX and in short order won a bronze and silver medal at the 2022 ADCC World Championships. The urge to express his dominance in the gi returned though, and now Meregali has the benefit of being coached by Danaher, whom many consider among the great grappling minds on Earth.

The second major IBJJF tournament of the year goes down this week, with the 2023 IBJJF Pan Championship taking place in Kissimmee, Florida. The action kicks off on Wednesday, March 22nd and black belt finals will wrap it up on the evening of Sunday, March 26th. All of the matches will be available on FloGrappling.

Hear what John Danaher thinks about the third match between Gordon Ryan and Felipe Pena before they meet for a fourth time!

Gordon Ryan and Felipe Pena will meet for the fourth time in their careers on February 25th at WNO in Costa Mesa. One of the biggest grudge matches in the sport, Felipe currently holds a 2-1 lead in the series after winning the first two meetings. Neither of these athletes is ever one to shy away from discussing the other, here is what they both had to say less than two months out from their match for the WNO heavyweight title:

The 2022 season of Tezos WNO featured 40 matches of up and coming grapplers and established world champions. Out of 40 matches, 20 resulted in submissions, including a couple firsts in Tezos WNO history: a Z-lock by Jozef Chen and a camel crusher by “The Sultan of Strangles,” Mike Rakshan.

At just 15 years of age, Helena Crevar has the most victories of any athlete in history on the Fight to Win stage. And that's not just against other teens. The Alliance Las Vegas blue belt has competed against brown and black belts, she's gone up in weight ranges.

Dan Manasoiu won the open weight Emerald City Invitational tournament on Saturday, Nov. 5 in Atlantic City, NJ, collecting the $5,000 prize with two submissions in regulation and one in overtime.
