2025 is already looking like a great year for grappling after Craig Jones announced the return of CJI in August, while legend Marcelo Garcia makes his comeback to competition in January.

After the excitement of ADCC and CJI we've been waiting for the big names to return to action. Now, no gi grappling is back. This week we'll see the likes of Kaynan Duarte, Felipe Pena and Mikey Musumeci competing across two BJJ events.

Who's Number One? is on Wednesday, then we have UFC FPI on Thursday. On this edition of the Jiu Jitsu Oracle, Ross and Calum preview all of the notable matches on both cards.

Is it beneficial to drill techniques in grappling ? Having watched the amazing jiu jitsu of Tainan Dalpra, Cole Abate and Diego Pato at the latest Polaris event, we would say, yes it is.
