Last minute news from ADCC 2017 in Finland. Due to some last minute replacements, three new athletes have joined the ranks of the competitors in action this weekend. 

​Nicky Ryan is in at -66kg due to Justin Rader pulling out. The three-time ADCC veteran became sick on Wednesday September 20 and had to withdraw. 16-year-old Ryan, who took bronze at both recent North American Trials (East and West Coast) becomes the youngest male in history to compete in ADCC. 

​Jackson Sousa replaces Checkmat teammate Luiz Panza at -99kg, with the South American Trials winner pulling out due to a foot injury. 

​Sergio Ardila, brother of -99kg competitor Paul, will take the spot opened up by the withdrawal of Gilbert 'Durinho' Burns at -77kg.
