ADXC 2: Wrestlers and newcomers turn up the heat in Abu Dhabi

January 4, 2024

With the hidden pieces of its next roster quickly coming into the light, the Abu Dhabi Extreme Championship is bringing another two matches to the event on January 19th at the Mubadala Arena. With the line-up almost fully revealed at this point, the ADXC has announced Denzel Freeman vs. Pouya Rahmani for a Grappling Bout, and Alinur Kuataly vs. Yaroslav Rymasjevkii for a Jiu-Jitsu Bout.

On the Main Card, two high-level wrestlers will bring their experience to a Grappling bout at the ADXC cage. On one side, the American and PFL athlete Denzel Freeman comes to the UAE with his arsenal of takedowns and ground control techniques to pump the brakes on his opponent and seize the win. On the other side, Iran's Pouya Rahmani brings his experience competing in both MMA and Grappling, aiming to add yet another submission to his career.

Before that, at the Preliminary Card, the ADXC chose to once again invite two young and promising athletes to its battleground, providing them with an internationally recognized stage to show their skills and make a name for themselves at the big leagues. This time around, the Kazakh Alinur Kuatuly and Russia's Yaroslav Rymasjevkii will be going up against each other in a Jiu-Jitsu bout at the organization's cage. Both Alinur and Yaroslav fought at the ADWPJJC 2023 but ended up missing each other on the bracket, prompting the ADXC to organize this face-off between the two talented athletes.

There are just a few fights left before the ADXC 2 card is fully revealed. The tournament will be headlined by Aljamain Sterling and Chase Hooper in the Grappling Main Event, with Bruno Lima and Manuel Ribamar going toe-to-toe in the Jiu-Jitsu Main Event.
