IBJJF Nogi Grand Prix started out with a bang but it seemed to quickly lose steam. To start off they made an agreement with Buchecha and Gordon Ryan. Leandro Lo followed as did Lucas Hulk. But many were hoping they saved the best for last – Felipe Pena.
Sadly this was not the case as IBJJF just announced the 8th participant of the Nogi grand prix will be Joao Gabriel Rocha.

Of course Rocha did manage to hurt Ryan although he still lost in spite of a whopping difference in weight. Rocha weighed in at 260 lbs while Ryan was around 220
