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. Now, as he takes on a new challenge against the biggest names in the sport, the Atos standout has his sights set on claiming the ultimate prize: the Crown throne. Kingz Kimonos and Wilner & O’Reilly are proud sponsors of The Crown.
