Everything you need to know about BJJ in the UFC. We include BJJ gear and Gi reviews, BJJ tips, and what it is like to start your first BJJ lesson. Ouss!
The UFC is where Brazilian jiu-jitsu went from a family secret to the base layer of the most-watched fighting on earth. Royce Gracie won the first tournaments by submitting bigger, stronger men, and three decades on, no fighter reaches the top of the promotion without a grappling answer. This is our hub for where BJJ meets the cage.
On the fighter side, we profile the grapplers and the strikers who have to deal with them — including a full breakdown of two-time middleweight champion Sean Strickland, whose elite takedown defence is a case study in how to keep a fight standing against better wrestlers.
The bigger story right now is the UFC building its own grappling league. We cover what UFC BJJ actually is and why it matters, the Fowler vs Rodriguez rematch the league has been building toward, and the controversial ADCC exclusivity ban that is splitting the no-gi talent pool. Together they map where professional grappling under the UFC banner is heading.
