In the co-main event, UFC middleweights Kelvin
\nGastelum<\/a> and Rodolfo
\nVieira<\/a> will meet at 88 kilograms under grappling rules. Another
\nUFC veteran expected to appear on the card, though not yet
\nofficially announced, is Edson
\nBarboza<\/a>, according to information obtained by Sherdog.<\/p>\n

Rousimar Palhares and Andre Galvao revisit 2011 ADCC final
\nunder combat jiu-jitsu rules at ACBJJ 23<\/h2>\n

The rematch between Galvao and Palhares brings together two
\naccomplished Brazilian grapplers. Palhares, known as Toquinho, is
\nrenowned for his heel hooks, with UFC heavyweight Valter
\nWalker<\/a> citing him as a major influence. Palhares competed in the UFC\u2019s middleweight and welterweight
\ndivisions from 2008 to 2013, recording eight wins in 12 fights,
\nincluding four by heel hook. The promotion released him after
\nrepeated incidents of holding submissions beyond the referee\u2019s
\nstoppage. He subsequently struggled to find opponents willing to
\nface him in high-profile grappling superfights.<\/p>\n

Galvao, meanwhile, is regarded as one of the greatest competitors
\nin Brazilian jiu-jitsu history. A five-time world champion and
\nsix-time ADCC champion, he also had a brief MMA career, compiling a
\n5-2 record before returning his focus to grappling and coaching the
\nAtos Jiu-Jitsu team.<\/p>\n

Fifteen years after their ADCC final, the two will meet again, this
\ntime with strikes to the body allowed.<\/p>\n

\u201cCombat Jiu-Jitsu allows punches and kicks to the body, but strikes
\nto the head are prohibited. The rounds are scored using the 10-9
\nsystem, with three criteria taken into account: impact, fight
\ncontrol, and aggression,\u201d event promoter and former UFC fighter
\nDavi
\nRamos<\/a> told Sherdog.<\/p>\n

Kelvin Gastelum and Rodolfo Vieira meet in 88-kilogram
\ngrappling match at ACBJJ 23<\/h2>\n

According to Ramos, the matchup between Gastelum and Vieira will
\ntake place under standard grappling rules.<\/p>\n

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Vieira brings considerable grappling
\ncredentials to his matchup against Gastelum. He has won five
\nBrazilian jiu-jitsu world championship titles and one ADCC
\ntitle.<\/p>\n

Gastelum, a former UFC interim middleweight title challenger, has
\nfaced several of the promotion\u2019s biggest names throughout his MMA
\ncareer.<\/p>\n

The matchup pits Vieira\u2019s decorated jiu-jitsu background against
\nGastelum\u2019s wrestling experience, offering an attraction for both
\ngrappling and MMA fans. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
