Na przestrzeni ostatnich dni poznaliśmy kolejnych zawodników, którzy zasilą kategorie wagowe na jednym z najbardziej prestiżowych turniejów w grze. Mowa oczywiście o finałach Mistrzostw Świata ADCC, które w tym roku odbędą się w słonecznym Los Angeles. Dosłownie za 9 dni odbędą się ostatnie eliminacje, które wyłonią kolejnych 7 europejskich zawodników jadących na finały, a jak wiadomo ADCC oprócz turniejów eliminacyjnych wyróżnia niektórych zawodników zaproszeniami na turniej.
