While North and South America continue to produce the majority of top grappling talent, it's undeniable that the rest of the World is putting out elite talent at a higher rate than ever. One of the most prolific regions has been Europe, which had their first ever ADCC World Champion in 2022. Now, in 2022, thirteen more world class Euro athletes will make their way to T-Mobile with a chance to stamp themselves as one of the very best on the planet.

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.
