AOJ prodigy Cole Abate is set to make his Crown debut! Already a World and Pan No-Gi Champion in 2024 and a Brasileiro Champion in 2025, the young standout has proven himself as one of the most well-rounded athletes in the sport, equally dangerous from top or bottom. Representing Art of Jiu-Jitsu in Costa Mesa, California, Cole will compete in The Crown’s featherweight division for the first time, looking to add another milestone to his fast-rising career. Be sure to catch The IBJJF Crown, presented by FloGrappling, on Sunday, November 23rd. The Crown is sponsored by Kingz Kimonos.
