AL-AIN: A stacked fight card has been set up for the 11th Abu Dhabi Extreme Championship at the ADNEC Centre in Al-Ain on Nov. 14, the organizers announced recently.

In a release, International Vision Sports Management said the main event features Brazilians Gabriel Sousa and Ruan Alvarenga, with Helena Crevar taking on Salla Simola in the co-main event.

Sousa returns to the ADXC cage after submitting Anthony de Oliveira in the ADXC 9 Grappling Main Event, where he called out Alvarenga moments after his win.

Alvarenga, a four-time ADXC veteran with three victories, also featured in ADXC 9, defeating Yigit Hanay in the final bout of the preliminary card.

Crevar returns in search of her second consecutive ADXC win following her dominant showing at ADXC 7, where she submitted Sabrina de Sousa in the second round.

Her opponent, Simola, impressed fans with a resilient victory over Aurelie Le Vern at ADXC 9, demonstrating agility and composure under pressure.

The main card also features a showcase bout between Daniel Barbosa and Haibula Aviev, along with a grappling welterweight fight between Seilkhan Bolatbek and Kenzo Biyong.

The preliminary card promises plenty of action, including Obaid Al-Ketbi against Victor Souza in a jiu-jitsu bantamweight bout, and Hadi Abbas taking on Felipe Fernandes in a jiu-jitsu featherweight contest.

Also, Mohammed Saeed Al-Ketbi meets Brazil’s Raimundo Almeida in a bantamweight contest.

On the prelims card there is a showcase bout between Ghanim Al-Ali and Joao Arthur; a jiu-jitsu cruiserweight fight between Ammar Al-Hosani and Dabyl Abdulla; and a showcase featuring Arthur De Lima Sousa and Breno Pittizer.

Tareq Al-Bahri, general manager of International Vision Investment, said: “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.

“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.”

All bouts will be streamed live on TX7 and broadcast on the Abu Dhabi Sports Channel.
