This week on the show Maine and Miranda preview the 2026 IBJJF No-Gi GP we break down all of the big black belt, super fights, and every single athlete in the Grand Prix.

In the preview section of the show, we discussed every single first round matchup in the IBJJF absolute No-Gi GP. We kick it off discussing the quarterfinal matchups that kickoff the event with the top seed Victor Hugo vs Marlon Tajik, we discussed the recent performances that we've seen from both athletes and how Marlons most recent ADCC European trials performance and brand new black belt will affect him going into this matchup against potential number one seed Victor Hugo.

On the same side of the bracket we discussed Javier Barter vs Nick Hartman, with Hartman, coming off of an impressive ADCC trials performance of his own we talk about his guard work and how it may play a factor versus the Panamanian in Barter.

In Pedro Marinho vs Diego Pato we discussed the stylistic matchup with Diego being by far the smallest competitor in the entire tournament. We discuss how Pedro will most likely play the Ranger game and leverage his wrestling and guillotine game versus the quick speed and leg locks of Pato.

In the final quarterfinals matchup we discussed Michael Pixley vs Gustavo Batista, we talked about the guard work from Gustavo and how it may potentially play an issue with Pixley's passing game we also discussed some potential strategic avenues for Pixley and Gustavo to potentially leverage the IBJJF points in order to come out on top.

We also preview the second round and potential finals matchups on each side of the bracket, discussing Victor Hugo's potential pathway to victory as the number one seed in the event.

We preview the black belt, super fights on the card as well.
