ADCC 2015 results, Day 1 - UFC fighter makes semi-finals
It was an up-and-down day for MMA fighters at the ADCCs, but one UFC lightweight has made it through to the semi-finals in his division.
Today's Day 1 at the ADCCs was good to a current UFC lightweight and a former UFC light heavyweight, but not as nice to a former champion at 155 lbs. Gilbert Burns, the 29-year-old former BJJ world champ who is 10-0 in MMA and 3-0 in the UFC, submitted his first-round opponent Lachlin Giles in the ~77kg division and defeated Abdukadirov Magomed in the quarters. He will take on one-time Bellator fighter Davi Ramos in the semis tomorrow.
