The ADCC world champships are fast approaching and although we’re still around a year away from the event, the trials are now in full swing. The first European, Middle-Eastern, and African trials took place over the weekend and saw well over a hundred top-tier competitors from dozens of different countries arrive in Poland to battle it out for just five available spots in the most prestigious grappling tournament on the planet.
In the end, the UK and Finland proved to be the most successful countries, nabbing two of the qualification spots each. Ashley Williams and Eoghan O’Flanagan will represent Wales and England respectively, while Perttu Tepponen and Heikki Jussila were the two Finnish winners.
