We know who is going to ADCC 2026, but who will win gold at this year's biggest grappling event?

Will Kaynan Duarte add to his four golds from previous tournaments and move closer to Gordon Ryan, who has won seven ADCC titles?

On this edition of the Jiu Jitsu Oracle, hosts Calum and Ross give their early predictions for all the divisions.

They also discuss the controversy over whether Isaak Michell will participate.

Who is going to ADCC? The promotion has confirmed every grappler who has made the cut for the 2026 World Championships.

The Jiu Jitsu Oracle looks at who is going to Poland and who is the favourite to win each division.

Host Ross also considers why so many top competitors are missing, including previous champions Baby Shark, Mica Galvao and Giancarlo Bodoni.

With superstars Gordon Ryan and Craig Jones also not involved, there is a chance for new stars to be made - who will rise to the challenge?

If you have any thoughts, please comment and let us know.

The elite gi grappling scene is where the best BJJ competition is happening right now.

No gi jiu jitsu has seemingly had the most popular events in recent years, boosted by the influence of Gordon Ryan.

The Jiu Jitsu Oracle's highest engagement has been when ADCC and CJI are happening.

But the most famous no gi athletes, Gordon and Craig Jones, appear to be retired.

And the best grappling matches are currently happening in the gi in the IBJJF.

Those tournaments have the deepest divisions and lots of exciting contests at each major.

So host Ross has stated that the elite gi competition scene is better than no gi.

Joining him to discuss that theory is Will Weisser of jiujitsu.net
