The Official FloGrappling Male Gi Rankings

Lightweight Male Black Belt Ranking

This weight has had a ton of churn this year, with three different champions in the three majors - and each was pretty unexpected. I couldn't tell you what to expect at Worlds. Lucas Maquiné wins it here with victories over Lucas Protasio and Luiz Paulo, and I am going to bump him up to sixth in his debut. If Andy doesn't do lightweight this year, this is maybe the most wide open weight in the Pyramid.
