Moscow [Russia], May 1 (ANI/ WAM): The "Abu Dhabi Extreme" organisation has announced that the 10th edition of its global Jiu-Jitsu and Grappling Championship will be held for the first time in Moscow, Russia, on May 31, as part of the organisation's international expansion strategy.

The event will take place at the "Dynamo" arena and aims to strengthen the championship's presence in Russia and Central Asia, attracting top talent in Jiu-Jitsu, Grappling, and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). The 10th edition will feature elite athletes from Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, along with prominent Brazilian professionals from the global circuit.
