Full ADCC Barcelona Roster

The Abu Dhabi Combat Club is an invitation only no-gi grappling competition that is held once every two years. It is widely regarded as the submission fighting Olympics, with the very best grapplers from all areas of the globe being brought together to classify the most dangerous submission expert in each weight class.

The most recent edition of ADCC is set to take place in Barcelona, Spain, and will run through the dates of September 26-27.

While the event normally showcases a wide variety of mixed martial artists in pure submission competition, this season is easily the most star studded event in the promotion’s history.

Some of the male fighters you will easily recognize include names such as Urijah Faber, Ben Askren, Tom Lawlor, Dean Lister, Ricardo Arona, Vinny Magalhaes, Renato “Babalu” Sobral, Fabricio Werdum, Tom Erickson, Jeff Monson and Gabriel Gonzaga.

A couple of the notable female mixed martial artists participating at ADCC Barcelona include Cris Cyborg and Megumi Fuji.

The superfight of the event will be between Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza and Robert Drysdale.
