The IBJJF is headed to San Diego next week for the second installment of their BJJ Pro series. The BJJ Pro offers $4,000 to first place at black belt and $1,000 USD to the 2nd place in four different weight divisions (feather, middle, heavy, ultra-heavy).

The most stacked division of this event is by far the middle division. Three-time world champion Otavio Sousa is the favorite, having won his last three BJJ Pros. But he has some formidable opposition with a new wave of young and hungry black-belts like Yan Lucas Paiva, Manuel Ribamar and Jaime Canuto.  Here’s the full list of competitors vying for the $4K.
