2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Slam World Tour London

Apr 13, 2025
Copper Box Arena, London, United Kingdom AJP

Did you know?

  • Across 33 recorded matchups at the London Grand Slam, 22 were settled on points. This was a points-heavy event, which tracks with how AJP scoring rewards positional control.
  • The submission rate here was 21 percent, with only 7 finishes total on record. When they came, they varied: an armbar, a triangle choke, a rear naked choke, and a choke from back control each showed up once.
  • Fellipe Andrew, Julia Alves, and Yara Soares each went 2 wins with 1 of those by submission. In an event where most decided matches went to points, being able to close out a match with a finish set them apart.
  • The 62kg final between Khaled Alshehi and Yuri Hendrex came down to nothing. Alshehi took it 1x0 on points, the kind of margin where a single guard pass or advantage decides gold.
  • Not every result at London went the distance. Sebastian Serpa advanced from his semi-final against Israel Sousa Almeida by injury, one reminder that these tournaments are physically taxing across a full bracket.
