GrappleFest 20
Feb 28, 2026
Did you know?
- GrappleFest 20 was the first card under the promotion's new partnership with ADCC, running under ADCC rules as the official ADCC European superfight show.
- Across 30 recorded matchups the card finished at a 70 percent submission rate, with 21 wins by submission and only 9 by decision. Under ADCC rules that is a card built to finish.
- Of the recorded submissions, the heel hook led the way with 7, well ahead of the triangle choke, armbar, and rear naked choke at 2 each. That tells you where the leg entanglement game was living on this card.
- Keith Krikorian retained the under 70kg title by heel hook over Antony de Oliveira, closing the show with a finish that fit the night's theme of 7 recorded heel hooks.
- The card produced a couple of uncommon finishes: James Bullingham hit a Scottish Twister to beat Mark Wynne, and Ben Bennett took the under 90kg title in an upset over Jacob Couch by Texas Cloverleaf, one of just 1 recorded on the night.
