The November 2025 update has been applied to the Jits Magazine BJJ Rankings and the full standings can be found here. There weren’t many changes to any of the gi divisions this month, largely because that half of the IBJJF season is over but also because there haven’t been any gi superfights either. There’s been a handful of professional no gi events like UFC BJJ 3 and Who’s Number One 30, but the main movement across the board has come from one tournament in particular. That’s because the month started with the IBJJF No Gi Pan Championship 2025, where many of the world’s top competitors took to the mats.
