Breakdown on the ADCC east coast trials

Last weekend they held the 2021 ADCC North American east coast trials. I gathered the data and broke down what happened. I also gave my thoughts on some of the techniques used and showed a few clips. If you interested please check it out.

nice write up - i woulda mentioned that Cole Abate is 16 and makes what he did even more incredible

Those who have followed ADCC know wrestlers have had success, not necessarily high level ones either.

But to find someone who won it all, you have to go back in time.

The others who you mentioned in your article have had success in other competitions and even boast some IBJJF credentials.

I wish there were more wrestlers who would compete in ADCC. In the early days there were a handful and now most wrestlers either stay in wrestling or stay in MMA.

Achilles Rocha beating Quentin Rosenzweig at 15 is pretty impressive.

The early days were different.
They were doing what they had to do to get MMA fans to watch, so big names were just straight up invited.
Fans wanted to watch this new thing because guys like Tito, Matt Hughes, Mark Kerr, and various others were going up against the elite BJJ guys of that era.
They didn’t have qualifiers back then.

That other organization, Metamoris, has done a little bit of what early ADCC did.

does that make Achilles the new king of catch?

Well, I guess it was a non-title match, like Ray Robinson's wins over Sammy Angott or the Patriot's win over Bret Hart. No title change.
