Honório took silver in 2018. Vitor Freitas
With over 7,000 athletes registered, the 2019 Brazilian National Jiu-Jitsu Championship is already going down in history as the biggest tournament ever held by the CBJJ. Besides that, with a guarantee of prize money going to the black-belts, it was reasonable to expect to see elite fighters show up in droves. And they came through.
Athletes from around the world, as well as the Brazilians, are in the mix, veterans and new faces alike, with many world champions set to vie for titles and cash prizes up to R$ 10,000.
Check out the list below to see which of your favorite fighters are confirmed.
