Abu Dhabi is the place to be for all the adrenaline junkies out there! Get ready to witness the most epic martial arts event of the year – the Abu Dhabi Xtreme Championship (ADXC). This action-packed extravaganza will bring together the best of mixed martial arts (MMA) and jiu-jitsu in one thrilling fight card. It’s going to be a night to remember at the Mubadala Arena in Zayed Sports City on Friday.
The ADXC 1 fight card is stacked with 14 electrifying contests, including two main events and two co-main events. Brace yourself for a mind-blowing combination of jiu-jitsu and MMA bouts that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
In the main event of the No Gi jiu-jitsu category, we have the legendary Neiman Gracie taking on the former UFC fighter Ben Henderson. Gracie, who holds the record for the most submissions in his division, is ready to showcase his skills and prove why he’s a force to be reckoned with. And in the Gi main event, we have the clash of the titans – Isaque Bahiense and Gustavo Batista, two Brazilian powerhouses who will leave no stone unturned in their quest for victory.
But that’s not all! The co-main events are equally thrilling. Tarek Suleiman, a rising star in the jiu-jitsu world, is set to face off against Marvin Vettori, a former Venator FC welterweight champion and UFC middleweight contender. Suleiman is pumped up for this golden opportunity and is determined to make a name for himself. And in another co-main event, we have Roberto Abreu going head-to-head with Anton Minenko, promising a showdown that will keep you at the edge of your seat.
Suleiman, a black belt in jiu-jitsu, is no stranger to the world of MMA. He sees this event as a natural progression in his career and is excited to test his skills in the jiu-jitsu arena. With 12 wins under his belt, including six submissions, Suleiman is a force to be reckoned with. He believes that his experience in MMA gives him an advantage over other jiu-jitsu athletes, allowing him to use the cage, footwork, and strategic techniques to gain the upper hand.
But it’s not just the fighters that make this event special. The ADXC card also features a star-studded Arab lineup, including the talented Emirati Zayed Al Katheeri. With his impressive track record in jiu-jitsu, Al Katheeri is ready to take on the challenge posed by Thalison Soares and show the world what he’s made of.
The Abu Dhabi Xtreme Championship is not just a competition; it’s a celebration of the art of combat sports. It’s a chance for fighters to push their limits, showcase their skills, and inspire the next generation of athletes. So mark your calendars, gather your friends, and get ready for a night of heart-pounding action and unforgettable moments. This is one event you don’t want to miss!
