Grappling Report: Kaynan Duarte submits Viera, Israel Adesanya gets purple belt from Galvao

The final Who’s Number One event of 2020 was headlined by an exciting match between Kaynan Duarte and Rodolfo Vieira but in the end, Duarte made short work of the ADCC & IBJJF World Champion. That wasn’t the only exciting matchup on a card that was stacked with elite grapplers however, and 10th Planet was heavily represented with three competitors taking on big challenges.

Jon ‘Thor’ Blank and Grace Gundrum led the charge against Vagner Rocha and Mayssa Bastos respectively, although both would come up just short in close decision losses. Then the co-main event saw Geo Martinez face off with the streaking young competitor Kennedy Maciel and although he made a valiant effort for the first ten minutes, he was eventually forced to tap to a tight Head and Arm Choke.
