ADCC Submission Wrestling Championships

I was wondering if anyone has ever gotten to see one of these events, either live or recorded? I was reading about the results of the most recent event, and I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced them? I think they would be great to watch. If anyone has anything to enlighten me, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

A girl at our school competed at the ADCC, lost her only match but seemed to enjoy the experience quite a bit. As far as seeing them, I've seen a clip on Youtube of Kyra Gracie against a Japanese woman whose name escapes me. It's a pretty serious tournament, a lot of the UFC guys like Jeff Monson, Elvis Sinosic - pretty much any of the grappling specialists - have competed in it.

GZK, what girl from your school competed in it? I know Cindy Hales, who competed in it and was kind of a favorite but did it soon after a ovarian cyst surgery, if memory serves me right...kind sux, but she didn't make any excuses. Here, https://www.cindyhales.com I think is her site with some footage.

The article stated that this year the UFC discouraged many of the fighters from actually competing in it this go-around. I think they might get worried about their contracted fighters getting injured, and then not being healthy for the UFC.

Maryanne Mullahy, in the over 67kg class. She's only been training for 3 years or something crazy like that.

to answer your question, yes I've seen these events and my younger brother's first fight was against Anthony Hamlett who went against Royler Gracie in it one year, and yes, my brother won.

I don't know the results of all the divisions. An American named Matt Fowler shocked everyone by winning against Renzo Gracie and then Saulo Ribeiro back to back. Marcelo Garcia beat him though. Marcelo won that division.

GZK, did you say she competed at Abu Dhabi after only 3 years of training. You're right...that's crazy. Amazing she even made it. Good for her.

P.S. Bushido, you can go on youtube and just search ADCC and find tons of the fights.

Its pretty good tourment, I have baught them before. Saw good matches like Ricardo Arona vs. Jean Jeac Machado, Tito Oritz vs. Matt hughes. (that match wasn't that great but cool becaues of the names of the two competing)

It is fantastic, I would love to watch one live.
