Last year Gutemberg Pereira made two World Championship finals, Ultra-Heavyweight and the Open Class, earning double silver on one of the biggest stages in the sport.
Now he returns to the 2026 Worlds determined to turn those silver medals into his first black belt World title. Will this finally be his year?
The IBJJF World Jiu-Jitsu Championship takes place May 28–31 in Long Beach. Watch all matches live on @flograppling.
