The 2017 competitive grappling season closed out with the IBJJF No Gi Worlds on December 16 and 17. At the end of the day, the matches across every division brought the action that grappling fans wanted to see. There were prominent names such as Caio Terra who continued to build their legacy, and younger athletes like Pati Fontes and Renato Canuto who continued to put the rest of the sport on notice.
Terra continued his dominance at the No Gi Worlds showcase. Terra never looked out of place in his run to his tenth straight title. His streak started back in 2008 and continued with a victory over Tomoyuki Hasimoto by advantages.
