The 2024 ADCC Submission Fighting World Championship was an international submission grappling tournament held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, in August 2024.
The ADCC World Championship is a submission grappling tournament held every two years, widely considered to be the most prestigious submission grappling tournament in the world.[1]
Competitors have to qualify by finishing first at a continental qualifying events, known as ADCC Trials, or by being invited to compete by the organization. Returning champions were automatically qualified.
2024 will be the first edition of the tournament to have a third women's weight division. This marks the first edition of the tournament since 2007 to have more than two women's divisions.[2] Head organizer Mo Jassim later confirmed that this would also be the first edition of the tournament since 2007 to include a women's absolute division.[3]
It was announced in July 2024 that all competitors would be paid to show for the first time ever, and that they would receive a minimum of $2,500.[4]
The timing of the tournament overlaps with the inaugural Craig Jones Invitational, which also led to notable withdrawals by fighters including Tommy Langaker, Roberto Jimenez, Kade and Tye Ruotolo.
Men's divisions will have sixteen competitors: eight qualified athletes, seven invitations and the defending ADCC champion. Women's divisions will have eight competitors: approximately four qualified athletes, three invitations and the defending ADCC champion; there may be some variation due to returning champions, invitees and trials winners moving into different weight divisions. Only the female winners of European, Asia & Oceania, North American, and South American second trials qualify for the World Championship.[5]
