Windows Announces Partnership With Tye and Kade Ruotolo

Windows announced a new partnership with brothers Tye and Kade Ruotolo on October 26, 2026. The deal places one of submission grappling’s most recognizable sibling duos at the center of a major commercial collaboration. [1]

Why it matters: The agreement is a significant crossover between elite grappling and mainstream brand marketing, reflecting the growing commercial value of top submission grapplers beyond event purses and streaming deals.

Social hook: The Ruotolo brothers just landed a major brand partnership—grappling’s commercial ceiling may be rising.

IBJJF European No-Gi Championship Set To Begin This Week

The 2026 IBJJF European No-Gi Championship is scheduled for October 28 through November 1 in Lido di Ostia, Italy. The event follows a busy October calendar that has already included the Pan No-Gi Championship and multiple international opens. [3]

Why it matters: Europe’s no-gi championship is one of the most important remaining IBJJF events of the year and provides a major test for athletes building momentum toward the December World No-Gi Championship.

Social hook: Europe’s best no-gi competitors are about to collide—here are the divisions to watch before the action starts.

Weekend Results Roundup Highlights Three IBJJF Opens And ADCC Vancouver

Results from the October 23–25 weekend have been compiled for the Boston, Orange County and Nashville IBJJF Opens, along with the ADCC Vancouver Open in Richmond, British Columbia. The roundup includes adult black-belt podiums and draws from official event results where available. [3]

Why it matters: The weekend’s competitions offered important ranking and qualification momentum across both gi and no-gi circuits, while ADCC Vancouver continued the organization’s expanding regional-event schedule.

Social hook: Four major events, one weekend—these were the black-belt champions who emerged from the latest IBJJF and ADCC action.

#4

UFC BJJ 13 Scheduled For October 29 In Las Vegas

UFC BJJ 13 is listed for October 29, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event is the next major UFC BJJ card following UFC BJJ 12 on October 8, although a complete, independently verified lineup was not identified in the latest available results coverage. [3]

Why it matters: The rapid continuation of the UFC BJJ series indicates that the promotion is maintaining a regular event schedule while submission grappling enters a particularly dense late-2026 period.

Social hook: UFC BJJ is back in Las Vegas on October 29—but the full fight card still needs confirmation.
