The Top Grapplers Competing At The ADCC Chicago Open This Weekend

The ADCC World Championships are one year out, the Trials are starting next week, and the ADCC Opens are moving ahead with full speed. This weekend, they hit Chicago, and it has attracted one of the best lineups of talent we have seen yet at one of these tournaments. With many of these grapplers already having significant success in ADCC-style competition, we can expect some serious fireworks on the Chicago mats this Saturday. All action will be live on FloGrappling.
