The Abu Dhabi World Pro Jiu-Jitsu Championships returned from November 14-19, with the adult black belts wrapping up the action on the final day of the six day event. The World Pro is a true international event, as only two athletes per country are permitted to compete in the main bracket. Qualifying brackets took place before the main brackets to determine which athletes could represent their respective countries. The professional jiu-jitsu scene has been dominated by Brazilians, and the country’s best athletes came out in droves for this year’s World Pro. Consequently, the Brazilian qualifier brackets were extremely competitive on their own, resulting in only one non-Brazilian champion this year.
