Finals Day ADWPJJC23

The heroes have risen! This Friday, November 10th, the Abu Dhabi World Jiu-Jitsu Championship held its tenth and final day, after over a week of high-octane action in the most famous stage of the sport, the modern Mubadala Arena. Celebrating 15 years of the tournament, the very best athletes of the competitive scene climbed the AJP mats one last time, this time to take the biggest prize of all: the title of ADWPJJC champion. But the path to the title was by no means an easy one. Whether it was the men's black belt or the women's brown/black belt category, the competitors were relentless as they fought for gold and glory in the capital of Jiu-Jitu. Among the great warriors that took to the mats, Fellipe Andrew made waves as he locked a toe hold to become a two-time ADWPJJC champion, Portuguese dark horses Pedro Ramalho and Bruno Lima took the gold by beating Lucas Protasio and Uanderson Ferreira respectively, and Gabrieli Pessanha used a straight footlock to take her fifth consecutive title at the tournament. Check out how each final went down and which athletes became Heroes in Abu Dhabi!
