Paweł Jaworski Submits Rafael Lovato Jr. in ONE Fight Night 47 Upset

Paweł Jaworski defeated four-time BJJ world champion Rafael Lovato Jr. by lateral kneebar at 1:51 of their middleweight submission-grappling match at ONE Fight Night 47 in Bangkok on September 4. The 22-year-old Polish IBJJF No-Gi World Champion earned a major win over one of the sport’s most accomplished veterans. [1]

UFC BJJ Reportedly Moves Future Events Behind the Fight Pass Paywall

UFC BJJ is reportedly shifting its event broadcasts from YouTube to UFC Fight Pass, beginning with UFC BJJ 11 on September 24. The reported change is described as global, although existing regional broadcast arrangements may continue. UFC’s official event page confirms UFC BJJ 11 is scheduled for September 24 on Fight Pass, but commercial details such as the required subscription tier remain unclear. [29]

Why it matters: A move to a subscription platform would be a significant business decision for the young promotion, potentially improving monetization while reducing free access and discoverability for casual viewers.

Social hook: UFC BJJ may be leaving free YouTube streams behind—here’s what changes for fans before UFC BJJ 11.

The 2026 IBJJF World Master Jiu-Jitsu Championship concluded its September 3–5 schedule in Las Vegas, while IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Con continued alongside it with black-belt and absolute-division action. FloGrappling published day-one World Master results and identified Jiu-Jitsu Con’s black-belt absolute divisions as one of the weekend’s leading storylines. [19]

Why it matters: The combined events created one of the largest concentrations of elite gi competition on the annual calendar, with Masters Worlds results and Jiu-Jitsu Con performances driving substantial attention across the IBJJF scene.

Social hook: Las Vegas became the center of the gi-jiu-jitsu world as Masters Worlds and Jiu-Jitsu Con shared the spotlight.

ADCC Worlds Enters Final Week Before Kraków Championships

The 2026 ADCC World Championship is now less than a week away, with the event scheduled for September 12–13 at Tauron Arena Kraków in Poland. FloGrappling’s latest coverage has focused on bracket seeding, athlete preparation and the finalized field ahead of the championship. [32]

Why it matters: With the field set and the event approaching, ADCC has become the dominant competitive storyline in submission grappling. Any late withdrawals, replacements or seeding changes could materially reshape several divisions before the September 11 bracket reveal.

Social hook: ADCC Worlds is one week away—here are the final storylines that could define Kraków.

Editor’s Notes

The UFC BJJ broadcast change remains based on a September 6 secondary report citing a verified promotion account; the official UFC event page confirms Fight Pass distribution but does not yet provide complete paywall or regional-rights details.
