The UAEJJF crowned their first ever “King of Mats” champions in three weight classes on Tuesday, April 24 in Abu Dhabi.

The 2018 King of Mats brought together many of the greatest fighters who made history in some of the grandest BJJ fights that ever took place in the UAE capital. Among the “old school” competitors were names such as Roberto Cyborg, André Galvão, Celso Vinicius, Tarsis Humphreys and many more.

Three different divisions composed of former Wolrd Pro and Grand Slam champions battled it out at lightweight (69kg), middleweight (85kg) and heavyweight (110kg).

The competitors first met in two round robin groups, and then finally with a four person single elimination bracket. The winner took home $30,000, second place $10,000 and third $5,000, with extra bonus money to be awarded on for best match and best submission.
