One of the world’s premier grappling organizations is headed to UFC Fight Pass.

The streaming service announced on Saturday that it has signed a multi-year agreement with ADCC Submission Fighting World Federation to air the organization’s events. As a result, UFC Fight Pass will broadcast more than 40 ADCC events through 2024 beginning with the ADCC Opens in Mexico this March. The ADCC Championship in Las Vegas will stream on Fight Pass in September.

“Apart from UFC events, grappling is among the most popular content on UFC Fight Pass,” said vice president and general manager of UFC Fight Pass Crowley Sullivan in a release. “We’re excited to add ADCC, which is arguably the most prestigious submission grappling competition in the world, to UFC Fight Pass.”

ADCC was founded in 1998 and consistently features many of the world’s best grapplers in a tournament-style competition every two years. Notable MMA fighters who have won ADCC championships include the likes of Demian Maia, Ronaldo Souza, Fabricio Werdum, Ricardo Arona, Mark Kerr and Ricco Rodriguez, to name a few.

“ADCC is thrilled to work with UFC Fight Pass and showcase the brilliance of grappling to fans in the United States and around the world,” said ADCC head organizer Mo Jassim.  “This deal includes our premier event ADCC 2024 in September 2024 in Las Vegas – an event UFC Fight Pass subscribers will not want to miss.”
