ADCC 2017 stands out for many reasons – we saw historic feats like Cobrinha's Super Grand Slam, the debut of the youngest competitor to ever step foot on the mats at ADCC (Nicky Ryan), and Andre Galvao's record-breaking 3rd ADCC Superfight title defense,  but the legacy of an event really comes down to is the quality of matches.  

And in this aspect, ADCC 2017 delivered in spades.
