The ADCC Submission Fighting World Championship (formerly ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championships) is a grappling competition involving professional athletes who have been successful at the highest levels of Luta Livre, freestyle wrestling, catch wrestling, judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Sambo, shooto and mixed martial arts.[1][2] It's considered the most prestigious competition in the submission grappling combat sport. The rules of the event disallow strikes while promoting grappling and submissions. ADCC is an acronym for "Abu Dhabi Combat Club", the event was originally hosted in Abu Dhabi. Later host countries have included Brazil, China, Finland, Spain, the UK, and the US.

The competition was created by Sheik Tahnoun Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the son of the former United Arab Emirates president Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, together with his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor Nelson Monteiro.[3][4] Royler Gracie characterized this as the beginning of "the modern era of submission grappling".[5] Thousands of submission grappling tournaments around the world use elements of the ADCC format and rule structure. To date, the great majority of ADCC champions have had experience studying the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, whose rules are the most similar to.[1] However, there have been notable exceptions to this, such as Japanese Sanae Kikuta (Judo/Shoot Wrestling), South African Mark Robinson (Judo, Greco-Roman wrestling and Freestyle wrestling, Sumo), and American Mark Kerr (Collegiate/Freestyle Wrestling).

For the future of the event the organizer Mo Jassim has plans for adding more women's divisions and allowing reigning absolute champions to compete in weight-classes despite being booked for the main event superfight.[6] It was announced in 2020 that for the first time in the competition's history, there would be more than two years between editions due to the setbacks suffered as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. The 2021 edition of the ADCC World Championships will now take place in 2022 instead
