Demian Maia ADCC MATCH vs Saulo Ribeiro No Gi Grappling ADCC 2005

Semifinals match at the 2005 ADCC World Submission Fighting championship between Demian Maia of Team Brasa and Saulo Ribeiro of Ribeiro Jiu Jitsu. Saulo Ribeiro is a judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt under Royler Gracie, being widely regarded as one of the greatest grapplers to have ever competed in the sport. A 5-time world champion, Saulo is also a record holder of world titles in different weight classes (4) as well as a 2x ADCC champion – arguably the most important no-gi tournament in the world. Saulo and his younger brother Alexandre Ribeiro founded Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu, one of the most respected associations in this martial art. Demian Maia is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt and a professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, having been at the top of the game in both sports with titles such as World Cup Champion (BJJ – 2002 & 2003), ADCC Champion (submission wrestling – 2007) and two failed title attempts in the UFC’s middleweight (April 2010) and welterweight (July 2017) divisions. Demian is also known for having one of UFC’s longest successful submission win streaks (5). In the context of jiu jitsu history, Maia was at the heart of the early 2000’s Alliance Academy‘s turmoil, a case that ended in the team splitting, giving birth to the Brasa, TT and Master academies.
