View the main card results from Grapplefest 18, headlined by a title match between Keith Krikorian and Dominic Mejia.
Grapplefest 18 took place on Saturday, March 2, from Liverpool, England, and was headlined by a trio of title matches.
In the main event, reigning Grapplefest 70kg champion Keith Krikorian avenged a recent ADCC Trials loss to New Wave’s Dominic Mejia to successfully defend his belt. Krikorian showcased a seemingly endless gas tank and well-rounded, submission-oriented game on his way to securing the judges’ decision.
Also, Adele Fornarino, fresh off her record-tying submission victory over Amanda “Tubby” Alequin at Who’s Number One, earned a hard-fought decision over Fiona Mortell to defend her 60kg Grapplefest title.
