Abu Dhabi Extreme Hosts First Global Jiu-Jitsu Championship In Moscow On 31st May

The "Abu Dhabi Extreme" organisation has revealed that its 10th global Jiu-Jitsu and Grappling Championship will debut in Moscow, Russia, on 31st May. This event marks a significant step in the organisation's international growth plan. The championship aims to enhance its presence in Russia and Central Asia by attracting top athletes in Jiu-Jitsu, Grappling, and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).

The championship will be hosted at the "Dynamo" arena. It will feature elite competitors from Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Additionally, renowned Brazilian professionals from the global circuit will participate. Abu Dhabi Extreme highlighted Moscow's selection due to Russia's rich history in combat sports and wrestling.

Russia is known for producing world-class athletes like Khabib Nurmagomedov. This move is expected to discover new talent and increase participation in these sports. Tariq Al Bahri, General Manager of International Vision Sports Management (IVSM), expressed excitement about the event's potential impact.

"For this edition, we carefully selected some of the world’s top-ranked fighters," said Al Bahri. "The match card includes unprecedented showdowns featuring champions in Jiu-Jitsu, Grappling, and MMA. We expect a large turnout, especially considering the Russian audience’s strong passion for combat sports."

The 9th edition of the Abu Dhabi Extreme Championship took place in Paris last April. It attracted large crowds and global media attention with thrilling contests featuring world-class athletes. This success solidified its status as a leading international competition in Jiu-Jitsu and Grappling.

Al Bahri noted that this edition is anticipated to be a milestone in the championship's history. It aims to showcase top-tier bouts while reflecting the organisation’s vision to promote and globalise these sports further.

This upcoming event promises to be a significant occasion for both participants and fans alike. By expanding into new regions like Moscow, Abu Dhabi Extreme hopes to continue its mission of promoting martial arts on a global scale.
