João Gabriel at the 2017 Pan. Beatriz Lina/GRACIEMAG.
The next step in the IBJJF Grand Slam is the 2018 Pan.
The event, which is slated to take place March 8 through 11 in Irvine, Calif., is open for registration until Feb. 26.
Among many great matches, last year the Pan hosted a fight between ultra-heavyweights João Gabriel Rocha and Kitner Moura. Rocha ended up choking his opponent on his way to the division’s title, to which he later added a silver medal in the absolute, behind Leandro Lo.
