Multiple time IBJJF world champion Nicholas Meregali will make his no-gi debut at FloGrappling’s Who’s #1 event on Friday March 25th. In early 2022, Meregali began hinting at a transition to no-gi, posting pictures on his social media accounts training without the gi. Grappling fans immediately started speculating whether he would compete in a no-gi event, as all his prior tournament experience was in the gi.
2021 was quite the rollercoaster for the two-time black belt world champion. He announced a switch to the Dream Art team after a highly successful career under team Alliance, led by Mario Reis.
