Editor’s Notes

No major new UFC BJJ, ONE Championship submission-grappling, IBJJF result, injury, withdrawal or signing was verified from a primary source within the approximately 24–36-hour window. The strongest confirmed developments were event updates, schedule information and official FloGrappling coverage surrounding ADCC 2026 and the upcoming IBJJF Las Vegas events. Registration totals for ADCC Uberlândia come from a third-party event-tracking service rather than an official ADCC results release, and should be treated as approximate. [70]
