Las Vegas, NV
ADCC
Did you know?
- Across 44 recorded matchups at the 2025 ADCC Las Vegas Nationals, submissions accounted for 21 finishes, a submission rate of 48 percent. That means roughly half the field's fights ended without needing the judges.
- Marcelo Mafra led all competitors with 3 recorded wins at the event, including a decision over Andres Ponce in the -76kgs final. None of those 3 wins came by submission, which fits a grinding, points-and-position style under ADCC rules.
- Points decided 13 of the recorded matches, second only to submission with 21. If you train for ADCC, that split is a reminder that scoring and control still carry a large share of the outcomes.
- The 70kgs bracket produced two very different finals: Roberto Hernandez edged Michael Diaz by advantage over Michael Diaz, while Jerry Shapiro closed out Edward K Yang by submission. Same weight, one win by the thinnest margin and one by finish.
- The Middleweight final between Christopher Dorgan and James Nival was recorded as a draw decided by DQ, one of only 2 DQ results at the event. Finals rarely end that way, which makes this one worth a closer look.
