IBJJF Worlds 2016 Full Result Recap

The jiu jitsu competition to end all jiu jitsu competitions is over, and it duly delivered — showcasing the world’s best BJJ exponents. This year, the IBJJF tournament was hotly anticipated, because star martial artist Marcus Almeida ‘Buchecha’ was returning to action. Coming back from a lengthy absence following knee surgery in 2015, big things were predicted for this Checkmat heavyweight. Buchecha didn’t disappoint, and produced dramatic displays – culminating in him smashing the world title record for this weight division. Roger Gracie had previously won a third world title in 2010, but Buchecha won his fourth absolute black belt title. He also claimed victory in his weight division, which is an amazing accomplishment.

The 2016 competition was certainly a record breaking one, with the open weight legacies of both Rafael Mendes and Marcus Almeida up for grabs. Mendes won the world featherweight black belt title for the sixth time, beating the record he set in 2015.

Bruno Malfacine remained dominant at roosterweight, improving his record to eight world titles – far exceeding Omar Salum’s previous record of two titles, set in 2000.

Domynika Obelenyte was another notable competitor. This twenty year old athlete of Lithuanian-American descent won her second double gold medal in a row. She is the youngest competitor ever to accomplish this feat.
