March 13, 2025

With its first destination of 2025 set to France, the ADXC 9 marches forward in its preparations to return to the Dojo de Paris on April 19th, bringing some of the toughest athletes from the international scene to show their skills and strategies in the organization's merciless cage. Coming to the main card with a Grappling bout, Gabriel Sousa enters a collision course with Anthony de Oliveira in the featherweight division.

Fighting out of Brazil, Gabriel Sousa gears up for his return to the ADXC. A Jiu-Jitsu black belt and founder of the Connection BJJ Academy, Gabriel is a five-time ADGS champion and tried-and-true talent in the international scene with countless titles conquered around the world, including the 62kg division gold in the ADWPJJC 2019. The Brazilian made his debut in the organization in January of last year, joining the ADXC 2 roster and taking down Yuta Shimada after three rounds of pure action, and now he makes his way back to the organization to add another high-profile victory to his resumé.

On the other side, Anthony de Oliveira makes his ADXC debut. A Jiu-Jitsu black belt hailing from France, Anthony brings all the skills he honed and polished in the main stages of the sport around the world to try and overcome his very first opponent in the ADXC cage, using his aggressive fighting style, fast transitions, and technical prowess to look for the right moment to end the duel with a submission. Up against the dangerous Gabriel Sousa, will Anthony manage to beat the odds and take the win in his homeland? Only time will tell.
