The 2024 ADCC World Championship is less than a year away and coming to Las Vegas in August 2024.

ADCC is less than a month away and the elite of the elite will take the mats to fight for the right to call themselves best in the world. For fans of grappling, the greatest technicians on Earth will be taking the mats - including the best of the best when it comes to guard passing.

ADCC is not a jiu-jitsu tournament - it is a grappling tournament that more heavily mixes in a bias for wrestling and competing on the feet. Where past years may have been full of collar-tie push/pull marathons, those grapplers have largely been lapped by a more aggressive and technical generation of stars who fight for the takedown in a more exciting way.

This 'Vikings'-themed night will feature IBJJF & ADCC World Champions and be headlined by Mica Galvao facing ADCC Champion & UFC veteran Davi Ramos in no-gi.
