ADXC 11 is scheduled for November 14th, 2025 and the promotion had just announced a series of excellent matches for the card. There’s plenty of very talented young grapplers competing throughout the night, but there’s also some veteran competitors stepping on the mats as well. Seilkhan Bolatbek and Ali Monfaradi are probably the most experienced men in the lineup and that’s one match that any of the local fans in attendance will surely be looking forward to. It’s the final two matches that feature the biggest names from an international perspective though, as the competitors in them are all ADCC veterans with a pair of silver medals between them.
First up to finish off the night is a battle between two of the best female lightweight competitors in the world, and it’s particularly interesting because it’s a brand new matchup. Helena Crevar has already completed her journey from top prospect to one of the best in the world, and she competes so often that there aren’t many fresh opponents left for her. Salla Simola is one though, and the Hilti BJJ product is more than good enough to challenge Crevar. Simola had her breakthrough year last year by medalling at ADCC Trials and winning gold at the IBJJF No Gi World Championship 2024, so she should be able to give Crevar a good match.
Then the final match of the evening is another lightweight one but this time between two male competitors instead; Gabriel Sousa and Ruan Alvarenga. This is one that grappling fans have seen before though, as Sousa and Alvarega actually met in the opening round of the under 66kg division at ADCC 2022. Sousa won that match by a pretty clear-cut margin on points, and that was the year he went on a great run in the division to win a silver medal. They actually almost had their rematch just a few months ago when they both entered the BJJ Stars 17 featherweight grand prix, but Alvarenga won the title without facing Sousa after he went out in the semi-final.
