With its formula of mixing Jiu-Jitsu and MMA powerhouses in a cage under a ruleset favouring aggression, the Abu Dhabi Extreme Championship has earned its place in the hearts and minds of Jiu-Jitsu fans around the world.

Due to the success of its previous editions, the organisation has announced that the ADXC will be returning for its seventh edition on October 25th, in Abu Dhabi, as well as four other jiu-jitsu main events.

The announcement was made on social media, hot on the heels of the venue reveal for the upcoming ADXC4. Before that, the organisation also announced that competitors and Jiu-Jitsu aficionados can expect the tournament to make a full loop with the ADXC5, hosting its fifth tournament where it all began: in the golden sands of the United Arab Emirates.


As of now, all eyes are turned to the ADXC4, which will take place on 18 May at the Dojo de Paris. The tournament marks the ADXC's first event in Europe and follows the trend set by the preceeding edition, which was held in Brazil and saw the organisation's first departure from Abu Dhabi.

Some events of ADXC4 are already official. Welterweights Espen Mathiesen and Leon Larman will step into the cage in the French capital Dojo to fight in the Jiu-Jitsu Main Event. Leonardo Mario and Khaled Alshehhi will meet in the Jiu-Jitsu Co-Main Event in a bantamweight bout.
