ADXC 9: Luc Rousseau and Mark Macqueen enter the cage with a Grappling heavyweight bout

March 20, 2025

With the April 19th deadline drawing ever closer, the Abu Dhabi Extreme Championship continues the preparations for its first event of the year, bringing some of the most dangerous names on the international scene to the Dojo de Paris, in France, for the ninth edition of the tournament. With some matches already revealed, the Main Card gets even more exciting with a Grappling bout between Luc Rousseau and Mark Macqueen in the heavyweight division.

Fighting in his homeland, the French athlete Luc Rousseau makes his ADXC debut. Also known as "Doberman", Rousseau is a Jiu-Jitsu black belt and seasoned grappler who used his aggressiveness and technical depth to accrue countless victories in tournaments around the world, gaining experience that will undoubtedly prove invaluable as he faces his first opponent inside the ADXC cage. With his arsenal of sweeps and crushing pressure from the top, Rousseau will have the support of the crowds as he looks to start his journey in the organization with a submission.

Meanwhile, Mark Macqueen also gears up for his first ADXC match. Hailing from Scotland, Mark is a no-gi specialist and Jiu-Jitsu brown belt with extensive experience competing around the world as he carefully refined his game to go toe-to-toe with the best athletes out there. A prolific grappler who mixes brains and brawn, Mark is a force to be reckoned with at all times, using his wrestling to mercilessly slam his opponents to the ground and then using his strongman build to keep up the pressure while he looks for the submission, but will all that be enough to taste victory inside the ADXC cage? Only time will tell.

The ADXC 9 is set to take place in Paris on April 19th, with all fights broadcast live and exclusively on the TX7.com platform. Follow @adxcofficial on social media to stay up-to-date on all things ADXC, and we'll see you in France!
