ADCC Submission Fighting World Championship

The competition was created by Sheik Tahnoun Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the son of the former United Arab Emirates president Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, together with his Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Nelson Monteiro.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/blog/mma/post/_/id/959/prince-of-a-guy-qatari-royalty-to-fight|title=Prince of a guy: Qatari royalty to fight|work=ESPN.com|date=27 May 2009}}{{cite web|url=http://adcombat.com/abu-dhabi-combat-club|title=Abu Dhabi Combat Club|work=adcombat.com}} Royler Gracie characterised this as the beginning of "the modern era of submission grappling".{{Citation |first=Royler |last=Gracie |author-link=Royler Gracie |publisher=Invisible Cities Press |year=2003 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zifrv0mqvCoC&q=adcc+abu+dhabi |title=Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Submission Grappling Techniques|isbn=978-1-931229-29-6 }} Thousands of submission grappling tournaments around the world use elements of the ADCC format and rule structure. To date, the great majority of ADCC champions have been black belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which has the most similar rules to ADCC.{{Citation |title=The MMA Encyclopedia |first=Jonathan |last=Snowden |author2-first=Kendall |author2-last=Shields |year=2010 |publisher=ECW Press |isbn=978-1-55490-844-8 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lzdXP08P1pkC&pg=PT27}} However, there have been notable exceptions to this such as Americans Mark Kerr (collegiate and freestyle wrestling) and Jeff Monson (collegiate and freestyle wrestling), Russian Karimula Barkalaev (sambo, judo and MMA), Japanese Sanae Kikuta (judo/shoot wrestling), and South African Mark Robinson (judo, freestyle, Greco-Roman, and sumo wrestling), along with silver and bronze medalists such as Caol Uno (shoot wrestling), Mach Sakurai (shoot wrestling/judo), Aleksandr Savko (freestyle wrestling), Tito Ortiz (collegiate wrestling and MMA), Megumi Fujii (judo/sambo), Seiko Yamamoto (freestyle wrestling) and Nick Rodriguez (collegiate wrestling).

Mo Jassim took over as head organizer ready for ADCC 2019 and has since made sweeping changes to the organization. He announced that he had plans for adding more women's divisions and allowing reigning absolute champions to compete in weight-classes despite being booked for the main event superfight.{{Cite web | url=https://jitsmagazine.com/mo-jassim-adcc-2021/ | title=From Wristband Boy to Kingmaker, Mo Jassim's ADCC Takes Its Place as the Greatest Show in Grappling | date=3 September 2020 }} It was announced in 2020 that for the first time in the competition's history, there would be more than two years between editions due to the setbacks suffered as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2021 edition of the ADCC World Championships would then take place in 2022 instead, and would still be helmed by Jassim.{{Cite web | url=https://jitsmagazine.com/adcc-world-championships-officially-delayed-until-2022/ | title=ADCC World Championships Officially Delayed Until 2022 | date=November 2020 }} After the success of the 2022 ADCC World Championship, it was announced that Jassim would return for the 2024 ADCC World Championship be the first person to operate as head organizer for three editions.{{cite web |last1=Jones |first1=Phil |title=Mo Jassim Confirmed As Head Organizer Again for ADCC 2024 |url=https://jitsmagazine.com/mo-jassim-confirmed-as-head-organizer-again-for-adcc-2024/ |website=Jitsmagazine |access-date=16 May 2024}} The 2022 edition took place in front of 13,000 fans in attendance at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

In January 2023, ADCC announced an exclusive multi-year streaming deal with UFC Fight Pass and left their previous broadcaster FloSports.{{cite web |last1=Rollo |first1=Ian |title=ADCC Moves To UFC Fight Pass In Exclusive Multi-Year Deal |url=https://jitsmagazine.com/adcc-moves-to-ufc-fight-pass-in-exclusive-multi-year-deal/ |website=JitsMagazine |date=22 January 2023 |access-date=22 January 2023}} Just three months later on April 27, 2023, ADCC announced that they would be returning to FloSports for the foreseeable future.{{cite web |last1=Phillips |first1=Sabrina |title=ADCC Returns To FloGrappling Exclusively |url=https://jitsmagazine.com/adcc-returns-to-flograppling-exclusively/ |website=JitsMagazine |date=27 April 2023 |access-date=27 April 2023}}

On June 25, 2023, it was announced that the following edition of the ADCC World Championship would include three women's weight classes, marking the first time since 2007 that there was more than two available.{{cite web |last1=Burne |first1=Kathrine |title=ADCC Adds New Women's Weight Class For Trials And World Championship |url=https://jitsmagazine.com/adcc-adds-new-womens-weight-class-for-trials-and-world-championship/ |website=Jitsmagazine |access-date=26 June 2023}} It was also later announced that this the 2024 ADCC World Championship would also be the first edition to include a women's absolute division since 2007.{{cite web |last1=Phillips |first1=Sabrina |title=Mo Jassim Announces Women’s Absolute Division For ADCC 2024 |url=https://jitsmagazine.com/mo-jassim-announces-womens-absolute-division-for-adcc-2024/ |website=Jitsmagazine |access-date=30 April 2024}} On July 17, 2023, head organizer Mo Jassim announced that there would be a children's version of the ADCC World Championship held for the first time during the 2024 edition of the tournament.{{cite web |last1=de Souza |first1=Diogo |title=Mo Jassim Announces Plans For ADCC Kids World Championship |url=https://jitsmagazine.com/mo-jassim-announces-plans-for-adcc-kids-world-championship/ |website=Jitsmagazine |access-date=18 July 2023}} In 2024 it will be held 17-18 August at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.{{cite web | last=Stockton | first=Corey | title=2024 ADCC World Championship Dates At T-Mobile Arena Announced | website=FloGrappling | date=2023-10-09 | url=https://www.flograppling.com/articles/11285721-2024-adcc-world-championship-dates-at-t-mobile-arena-announced | access-date=2023-10-10}}
