News DeskAl Ain Region, UAE: The Abu Dhabi Extreme Championship (ADXC) returns with its 11th edition promising a night of high-octane action on November 14 at the ADNEC Centre in the Al Ain Region. Organised by International Vision Sports Management, the event will feature a stacked card headlined by a thrilling clash between Brazilian grappling stars Ruan Alvarenga and Gabriel Sousa. The action kicks off at 6 p.m.
In the main event, Gabriel Sousa will make his return to the ADXC cage after a commanding submission victory over Anthony de Oliveira at ADXC 9 — a bout that ended with Sousa calling out Alvarenga. His opponent, Ruan Alvarenga, comes in with an impressive record, having notched three wins in four ADXC appearances. The Brazilian also competed at ADXC 9, where he secured a dominant win over Yigit Hanay in the prelims.
The co-main event will see rising American star Helena Crevar face off against Finland’s Salla Simola. Crevar is riding high after her submission victory over Sabrina de Sousa at ADXC 7, while Simola impressed fans with her composed performance against Aurelie Le Vern at ADXC 9.
Adding more firepower to the main card is a showcase bout between Daniel Barbosa and Haibula Aviev, as well as a grappling welterweight contest featuring Seilkhan Bolatbek and Kenzo Biyong.
The preliminary card is equally packed, highlighted by a jiu-jitsu bantamweight matchup between Obaid Al Ketbi and Victor Souza, and a featherweight clash between Hadi Abbas and Felipe Fernandes. Mohammed Saeed Al Ketbi will also face Raimundo Almeida of Brazil in another bantamweight contest.
Rounding out the prelims are showcase bouts featuring Ghanim Al Ali vs Joao Arthur, a cruiserweight encounter between Ammar Al Hosani and Dabyl Abdulla, and Arthur De Lima Sousa vs Breno Pittizer.
Tareq Al Bahri, General Manager of International Vision Investment, said the event reflects the organisation’s commitment to growing the sport globally.
“We have put together one of the strongest cards yet, bringing together some of the most talented and skilled athletes from the region and around the world to deliver a show that meets the expectations of our fans,” Al Bahri said. “We are proud to see Abu Dhabi Extreme continue to strengthen its reputation as a global platform that attracts the brightest stars in jiu-jitsu and grappling.”
