UFC Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (UFC BJJ) is an American submission grappling promotion company owned by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) mixed martial arts promotion, itself a subsidiary of TKO Group Holdings (TKO).
UFC BJJ first gained notoriety with the launch of UFC BJJ: Road to the Title, an eight-episode Brazilian jiu-jitsu-reality show hybrid series which aired for free on UFC Fight Pass and the UFC YouTube channel. It featured two teams of top lightweight and welterweight competitors, coached by Mikey Musumeci and Rerisson Gabriel. The athletes competed in a tournament to determine the finalists in each division, who will face off alongside the coaches at UFC BJJ 1 to crown the inaugural champions.
At UFC BJJ 1, Mikey Musumeci, Carlos Henrique, and Andrew Tackett captured the inaugural bantamweight, lightweight, and welterweight championships.
Each bout shall be contested over three rounds, each lasting five minutes. The referee serves as the sole authority within the bout, with full discretion to enforce the rules. This includes issuing cautions, warnings, negative points, positional resets, disqualifications, and initiating or halting the action as necessary.

In June 2025, Hayabusa Fightwear was announced as the first official outfitter of UFC BJJ.

Beginning in July, the collaboration will expand to retail and online sales, starting with rash guards, shorts, and spats, followed by t-shirts, hoodies, and more.
