BJJ Stars 15 is scheduled for April 26th, 2025 and the promotion has just announced an amazing main event absolute title-fight between Erich Munis and Adam Wardzinski. Both men are among the very best gi competitors in the world right now and although they do normally inhabit different weight classes, they’re not all that far apart. They have actually met once in the past, but it was all the way back in 2021 and a lot has changed since then. It was in the final of the Abu Dhabi World Pro that year and it was a pretty narrow win on points for Munis.
They haven’t met on the mats since then and they have both won multiple major IBJJF events in that time. They’re both coming off incredible runs last year as well, with Munis going 21-1 across all events while Wardzinski went 25-1 in his gi matches. To add even more intrigue to the match, both men are reigning world champions. Munis won the super-heavyweight division and Wardzinski won the heavyweight division at the IBJJF World Championship 2024. They also competed at The Crown 2024 together, and both men beat three elite grapplers to emerge as the champions in their respective weight classes at that event too.
The reason that there’s a title on the line in the match is because Munis won the absolute grand prix at BJJ Stars 10 in 2023. Wardzinski was actually on the other side of that bracket, but he went out in the second round. This will be the first time that Munis has put the title on the line and the promotion couldn’t have found a better challenger right now. The match between Erich Munis and Adam Wardzinski is one that shouldn’t be missed, but there’s going to be a lot more for grappling fans to watch at BJJ Stars 15. The promotion has also announced an eight-man middleweight no gi grand prix under ADCC rules that will undoubtedly attract some very big names.
BJJ Stars announced the news that Erich Munis would be defending his absolute title against Adam Wardzinski at BJJ Stars 15 in a recent post to their official Instagram account:
