The ADCC World Championships return this fall to the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. COVID pushed the championship back a year, further building the anticipation for the biggest no-gi jiu-jitsu tournament in the world. Although the ADCC Worlds are the main attraction, the trials are often the birth place of new jiu-jitsu stars.
The vast majority of ADCC champions are from Brazil, so the Brazilian trials are some of the most anticipated. In the first of two Brazilian trials events, both newcomers and veterans came together to fight for an ADCC World Championship birth. Among the most anticipated fighters to compete were Micael Galvao, Fabricio Andrey, Diego Oliveira, Magid Hage, Claudio Calasans, Isaque Bahiense, Survio Tulio, and Roosevelt Sousa.
