Every athlete competing at the 2024 ADCC World Championships
View the complete and updated roster of every athlete competing at the 2024 ADCC World Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The 2024 ADCC World Championships will take place August 17-18 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Athletes can earn their spot at ADCC by winning an ADCC Trials event or receiving an invite. As in years past, all returning champions will receive an automatic invite, as well as the top-four finishers from each division (these competitors might not yet be confirmed, but are essentially guaranteed an invite). The remaining spots will go to invitees selected by the ADCC.
Each male division consists of 16 competitors, while each female division has eight.
The ADCC superfight championship match will feature returning champion Gordon Ryan and 2022 ADCC absolute champion Yuri Simoes. Ryan captured the superfight title in 2022 with a one-sided submission win over Andre Galvao, while Simoes claimed the absolute title with victories over the likes of heavyweight silver medalist Nick Rodriguez, current IBJJF no-gi absolute world champion Roberto Jimenez, and, in the final, Ryan’s New Wave teammate Nicholas Meregali.
