August doesn’t just mean the end of summer, it also marks when the highly anticipated ADCC World Championship 2024 will happen. 

The ADCC World Championship will take place on Aug 17 and 18 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.  

The No.1 no-gi grappler in the world, Gordon Ryan, will compete in two Super Fights at the ADCC World Championship 2024. 

Ryan will be defending his ADCC World championship title he won in 2022 against Yuri Simões.
