This marks the final major event of the BJJ calendar for 2020, ever since it was announced that both the gi and no gi edition of the IBJJF World Championships were being cancelled this year. As such, there was a lot more attention on the older generation of grapplers than there would normally be, and there were some big names competing that might not have, had they had a more normal year full of competition beforehand.
Gregor Gracie put a perfect end to a perfect year by winning the absolute division in the Masters 1 category, defeating ex-Bellator Middleweight Champion Rafael Lovato Jr in the final.
