First ADCC Worlds held outside the US produced the most upset-heavy card in years.

About These Rankings

The Forca Method BJJ Top 100 is an editorial ranking updated regularly. We weight competitive results across ADCC, IBJJF World Championships, IBJJF Pan and European Championships, and major submission-only events (Who's Number One, Emerald City Invitational, Polaris). For athletes who compete in MMA at a high level (UFC, ONE Championship), we factor grappling pedigree and performance at the highest levels. Gi and no-gi lists are scored independently: gi credentials do not transfer to the no-gi ranking and vice versa.

Rankings reflect overall career achievement and recent competitive activity. An athlete with a dominant recent run outranks a legend who hasn't competed. These are the editorial opinion of Forca Method and are not affiliated with or endorsed by ADCC, IBJJF, or any governing body. Active competitors are indicated with a green dot 🟢.
