ADCC has handed out the first four invites for renowned grapplers to participate in the upcoming World Championships. Among invitees, there’s one female competitor, two from 88kg weight class and one from 99kg weight class.
Despite promotion’s declaration about expanding women’s divisions, there is no news about changing things from where they are now. That means that women will compete in two weight classes with eight competitors each. One of them will be Bianca Basilio, who is a 2019 ADCC 60kg World Champion and won her 2 of 3 bouts via submission.
In the 99kg weight class we will see Felipe Pena in action.
