Grapplefest 12 featured a number of ADCC trials winners competing and gave fans something of a preview of what the 2022 world championships might look like. In the end it was the British qualifiers who impressed the most in their home country, as both Eoghan O’Flanagan and Ashley Williams won against tough opposition. O’Flanagan fought first and caught Jon ‘Thor’ Blank in a picture-perfect Triangle choke to win the under 90kgs title.
Williams was up next against fellow trials winner Keith Krikorian and the pair had an incredibly tough match with plenty of back-and-forth action.
