The 2025 Brasileiro CBJJ is loaded with talent, but one potential matchup already has fans talking: Roberto Jimenez vs. Adam Wardzinski.
These two last met at the IBJJF Pan earlier this year, where Wardzinski walked away with the win after a sharp and strategic performance. Since then, Jimenez hasn’t slowed down. He recently stepped in at BJJ Stars 15, staying active and keeping his rhythm in high-level competition.
If the brackets align, this could be one of the most technical and unpredictable semi-finals of the event. Both athletes are known for their creative styles—Wardzinski with his precise guard work and heavy pressure, and Jimenez with his aggressive pace and flair in scrambles.
More than a rematch, this potential meeting would be a test of how both competitors have evolved over the season. Wardzinski will be looking to maintain control and consistency. Jimenez, on the other hand, might bring a more refined approach, aiming to shift the narrative from their last encounter.
Whether or not it happens, this is the kind of matchup that defines major tournaments: two elite athletes meeting again with everything at stake.
