The AIGA Champions League Final 2025 took place on June 28th and 29th and the results saw eight incredible teams battling it out for a share of the $1,000,000 prize pool. Some of the best grapplers in the world were in the lineup and it looked like pretty much every team match was going to be a tough one initially. That’s not quite how it played out though, and the opening round matches were all pretty one-sided. Both Al Leone and Kasai dominated their first opponents, as they won every match against Acai Republic and Checkmat respectively. The other two matchups were won 5-2, with Williams Elite Team beating Team Eurotrash and Universal Fighters beating Battle Force to make it to the semi-finals.
