Nome maior do primeiro dia, o já conhecido Kaynan Casemiro confirmou seu favoritismo no torneio e levou pra casa dois ouro, um no peso e outro no absoluto. Kaynan figurou há pouco tempo no GRACIEMAG.com ao faturar a seletiva carioca do ADCC e garantir seu lugar no torneio principal da organização, na Finlândia. No Pan, a fera conquistou sua primeira medalha do dia ao bater Andrew Wiltse (Pedigo Submission Fighting). No peso aberto, o craque da Atos encarou e superou Vitor Marques (Ribeiro JJ) para garantir o duplo ouro.
No feminino faixa-roxa, a ascendente Izadora Cristina, da Ns Brotherhood, voltou a brilhar. Após tropeçar na divisão de pesados, e ver o ouro escapar na final ao ser superada por Alexandra Coleman (Ground Control), Izadora sacudiu a poeira e voltou com tudo para o absoluto. Na final em peso aberto, a pupila de Leandro Lo enfrentou a dura Julia Boscher (Soulfighters), que já havia conquistado o ouro mais cedo na divisão de médios. Contudo, Izadora foi melhor e conseguiu levar o ouro absoluto para casa.
Outros destaques na faixa-roxa ficam para Kennedy Maciel, filho de Rubens Cobrinha, que faturou o ouro no peso-pluma, e Thalison Vitorino, fenômeno da Cícero Costha que fez sua estreia de faixa-roxa em torneios da IBJJF neste Pan e já faturou o ouro na divisão de peso-galo.
Já entre os faixas-azuis, o nome da vez foi o de Alex Munis, da Nova União. O habilidoso peso médio faturou a categoria ao bater Scott Perry (Unity JJ) e, embalado pelo sucesso, encaçapou também o absoluto ao superar Luiz Paulo Medeiros (Alliance).
