A 3X World Champion known for his technical mastery, Gustavo Batista is making a bold move at The Crown Presented by FloGrappling, jumping up three weight classes to compete in the Ultra-Heavy division. One of the most consistent and dominant competitors of his generation, Batista has already proven he can overcome much larger opponents with his trademark guard passing and pressure-based game.
