Full Competitor List for ADCC East Coast Trials Announced

The largest ever ADCC Trials event is set to go down this weekend. With approximately 800 total competitors registered, the ADCC East Coast Trials is scheduled for November 6-7. The complete competitor list has now been released, and features a number of North America’s top grapplers.

Male East Coast Trials winners will punch their ticket to the 2022 ADCC World Championships, scheduled for next year on September 17-18 in Las Vegas. Female gold medalists will still need to compete in the West Coast Trials to earn their spot at the championships, but Trials organizer Tom DeBlass has indicated that he will pay travel and entry fees for women that win the East Coast Trials and wish to compete in the West Coast Trials.

Check out the full competitor list below, courtesy of FloGrappling. But first, some names to watch in each division:

66 kg.

Many young competitors have made names for themselves in Trials events, and this year, teenage Art of Jiu-Jitsu blue belt Cole Abate seems poised to make waves. Fresh off a decisive victory over ADCC veteran Geo Martinez and a razor-close decision loss to Gabriel Sousa at the Who’s Number One (WNO) Championships, Abate has the physicality and technique to make it deep in the tournament, if not win it all. Other competitors to watch in this division include leg lock expert Junny Ocasio, 2021 no-gi world champion and Emerald City Invitational winner Gianni Grippo, and ADCC veteran Keith Krikorian.

77 kg.

Continuing the trend of young competitors expected to perform well, Atos representative Kade Ruotolo might be the betting favorite to take home gold at 77 kg. A tireless ball of aggression, Ruotolo is coming off a WNO Championships performance that saw him beat elite competitors Diego Oliveira, Josh Cisneros, and Gabriel Sousa. Also keep an eye on current UFC standout Joe Solecki, ADCC veteran John Combs, and 10th Planet black belt PJ Barch.

88 kg.

Checkmat representative Elder Cruz might be the best brown belt in the world, and his wrestling-heavy approach should serve him well under ADCC rules. Cruz is a 2021 brown belt gi and no-gi world champion, and looked nothing short of dominant in winning those titles. He also holds a WNO win over fellow 88 kg competitor Jacob Couch, who has been on a run lately and should also be a name to watch. Additionally, Bellator MMA middleweight contender John Salter is a former ADCC Trials winner that has shown the ability to make his game work under ADCC rules.

99 kg.

Longtime Submission Underground champion Mason Fowler was a 2019 ADCC Trials winner, and only seems to have improved since then. The Caio Terra Academy representative has an excellent takedown game to complement his solid back takes and finishes from the back. Look for Fowler to make it deep into the tournament, where he could run into Unity Jiu-Jitsu’s Devhonte Johnson. Johnson is coming off a no-gi world championship and seems to be at the peaking at just the right time. Finally, elite wrestler and purple belt world champion Hudson Taylor is a dark horse to watch.

99+ kg

With no real favorite at heavyweight, look for a newcomer to make it deep or take home gold. Former Penn State wrestler Jimmy Lawson is a top-tier athlete and a purple belt under Tom DeBlass, and his wrestling alone could cause problems for more seasoned competitors. Another wrestler, Pat Downey, will look to continue his burgeoning submission grappling career, and like Lawson, he has the wrestling to find success under ADCC rules.

60 kg women’s

Brianna Ste-Marie could soon be grappling’s next breakout competitor. A combat jiu-jitsu and Medusa champion, Ste-Marie is an excellent takedown artist, and is coming off a submission win over Bri Robertson at WNO. She’s likely to make it deep in the tournament, where she could run into recent Medusa EBI-rules tournament winner and ADCC Trials silver medalist Fatima Kline.

60+ kg women’s

Gracie Barra’s Kendall Reusing will be the odds-on favorite to take home gold; she is likely the best wrestler in the division, and also its most accomplished. Reusing is a no-gi Pans and world champion, and is coming off an impressive second-place showing at the WNO Championships. Other names to watch in this division include purple belt world champion and Legion American Jiu-Jitsu representative Paige Ivette, as well as former UFC title challenger Cat Zingano.
