2026 Crown | Nikolett Kis Commits to Crown
Standout Prospect Commences Black belt Career
Nikolett Kis becomes the second athlete signed to compete in the Crown female lightweight division. Nikolett recently earned her black belt and immediately accepted one of the toughest challenges on the international competition scene.
The Sigma Jiu-Jitsu representative completed a fantastic 2026 Gi campaign that included four major event titles and a lightweight World Championship. The Hungarian-born athlete consistently delivered commanding performances at the globe’s biggest events.
The Crown lightweight division is under the control of Sarah Galvao, yet Janaina Lebre recently defeated Sarah and accepted the Crown call. Nikolett now joins the fray as an up-and-coming prospect who displays phenomenal ability.
Nikolett’s game features a balanced attack that includes strong guard passing and technical guard play. Her frame and athleticism allow her to compete with any lightweight in the world, while her cerebral gameplay supplies a tactical edge.
Anticipation is building for the November 8th event at the Pyramid in Long Beach, California. Stay tuned to official IBJJF channels for further information regarding the 2026 IBJJF Crown.
