All awards are officially decided by the ADCC commission. Fighters will receive an undisclosed bonus for winning the awards.
Fastest Submission: Buchecha vs. Mahamed Aly
Marcus Almeida submitted Mahamed Aly in just 26 seconds in the absolute bronze medal match. Though the submission looked devastating at the time, Aly was back on the mats and competing again in just a few short weeks.
Best Takedown: Garry Tonon
Garry Tonon has some of the best stand-up in the game. Relentless of the feet, Tonon hit a slick arm drag against Vagner Rocha in -77kg division during the bronze medal match with just under two minutes left on the clock.
Best Fight: Xande vs. Buchecha
Marcus Almeida and Xande Ribeiro went to war when they faced each other in the absolute division.
Best Fighter: Gordon Ryan
Unsurprisingly, ADCC has awarded Gordon Ryan as the most technical and exciting fighter at the ADCC 2017 Worlds. The 22-year-old silenced many doubters as he tore through the toughest competition in the world, submitting titans of the sport such as Romulo Barral and Keenan Cornelius along the way.
