The light-heavyweight division at Who’s Number One (WNO) 31 just got a major upgrade.
On Friday, December 5, two grappling worlds will collide as legendary multiple-time world champion Xande Ribeiro faces off against Jordan Preisinger, the founder of the famous Jordan Teaches Jiujitsu and one of the sport’s biggest educators.
For Ribeiro, this match marks another opportunity to demonstrate the timeless precision and composure that have made him one of the most respected figures in Jiu-Jitsu history.
Known for his balance of old-school fundamentals and modern tactical awareness, Ribeiro remains a benchmark for excellence.
Preisinger, meanwhile, represents the new era of analytical, concept-driven Jiu-Jitsu. With his YouTube channel boasting hundreds of thousands of followers, he’s built a global reputation for breaking down complex ideas into actionable lessons.
At WNO 31, he’ll have the chance to prove his approach against one of the greatest competitors the sport has ever produced.
Both Ribeiro and Preisinger share a cerebral approach to the sport, but their paths to mastery couldn’t be more different…
Which makes one thing for sure – this is going to be a very exciting match!
