The Ultimate ADCC 2019 Results, Stats, & Recap Hub

ADCC 2019 is here. This will be your ultimate hub for results, stats, and daily recaps of the Olympics of Grappling. The anticipation for this event has been building for months, starting with the first European Trial nearly a year ago, and the entry list has gone through many changes.

Through six Trials, weight changes, injuries, and illnesses, the final list of participants ranges in age from 16 to 39. Oh and don't forget, the rules for ADCC are a little different than your typical submission grappling event.

Seeding Predictions: 66kg | 77kg | 88kg | 99kg

This year's ADCC will feature $10,000 for the winners of the five men's weights, and $6,000 for the winners of the two women's weights. Additionally, the winner of the Absolute category will receive $40,000, as will the winner of the Superfight between Andre Galvao and Felipe Pena.

We had some pros predict the outcome for Galvao vs Pena as the former attempts to win a record fourth Superfight. We're all curious to see where it falls in the pantheon of Superfights.

Bracket Reactions | Best 1st Round Matches

This will be the 13th edition of the Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling World Championship, and is the third time it has been held in America. The action will be on three mats this weekend at the Anaheim Convention Center in California.

The Absolute field should be stacked once again and will be contested on Sunday. We also can't wait to see the dark horses, disruptors, and wild cards in action.

In addition to a running tab of the results, we will also be providing some stats. Atos laid claim to the best team, going 9-1 on day one in matches that weren't teammate vs teammate (10-3 including those two 66kg matchups). Right behind them is the Danaher Death Squad, as Renzo Gracie went 7-1 overall on Saturday.

There will be two head to heads between the top flight clubs in Sunday's semis, when Gordon Ryan faces Hulk Barbosa at -99kg, a rematch of Fight 2 Win Pro 30, and Garry Tonon will see defending -77kg JT Torres in a rematch of the 2017 semis.
