Abu Dhabi Combat Club has announced
that Fedor Emelianenko and DREAM middleweight champ Gegard Mousasi have
been confirmed as participants for the 2009 ADCC Submission Wrestling
World Championship:
Fedor Emelianenko, after conquering the World of MMA,
wants to show the World he is also the best Submission Grappler in the
World. Fedor want to make history and expand on the pioneer spirit of
what Mark Kerr did in the late 90’s when he was the Champion of Pride
and became the weight and Absolute Champion of ADCC and went on to
defend his title in the Superfights for 2 editions.
Mousassi, the winner of the 2008 Dream Middleweight Grand Prix where
he defeated former World ABJJ Absolute and ADCC middleweight Champion
Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza in the final, also wants to test his ground
skills against the top names in Submission Grappling. This sets up some
humongous possible match-ups such as a re-match with “Jacare” or facing
current ADCC Middleweight Champion and rising U.F.C. star Demian Maia.
