What are the current no-gi jiu-jitsu rankings?

What is the difference between BJJ rankings and no-gi jiu-jitsu rankings?

BJJ rankings traditionally include gi competition, while no-gi jiu-jitsu rankings focus exclusively on no-gi and submission grappling competition. Nogipedia tracks no-gi jiu-jitsu rankings across all weight classes and genders.

How are jiu-jitsu rankings calculated?

Nogipedia rankings are calculated using a rating system that weighs competition results, opponent quality, submission rate, and activity. Athletes earn points for wins against ranked opponents and lose points for losses. The full methodology is explained on the rankings explanation page.

Who are the top ranked no-gi jiu-jitsu athletes?

The top ranked no-gi jiu-jitsu athletes are listed on Nogipedia's pound-for-pound rankings page, updated regularly based on competition results. Rankings cover both men's and women's divisions across all weight classes.
