ADXC 11: Gabriel Sousa vs Ruan Alvarenga, and Helena Crevar vs Salla Simola confirmed in Al Ain

Set to take place in the Emirati city of Al Ain, the Abu Dhabi Extreme Championship 11 has already begun unveiling the matches that will mark its return to the ADNEC Centre on November 14th. Kicking things off with two matches, the organization has announced that Gabriel Sousa will be facing Ruan Alvarenga while Helena Crevar goes toe-to-toe with Salla Simola. Both matches will be grappling bouts and will be broadcast live and exclusively on the TX7.com platform.

Representing Connection BJJ, Gabriel Sousa is back in the organization after submitting Anthony de Oliveira in the ADXC 9's Grappling Main Event. At the time, Sousa used his post-fight interview to issue a challenge, and his target was none other than Ruan Alvarenga, an Alliance black belt and four-time ADXC veteran with three victories under his belt who also landed a win in that same event, beating Yigit Hanay in the last duel of the preliminary card. Now the fellow Brazilians enter a collision course to decide who'll come out on top inside the ADXC cage.

Meanwhile, the Kingsway Jiu-Jitsu prodigy Helena Crevar joins the competition in Al Ain looking for her second consecutive win. Coming from a powerful showing on ADXC 7, in which she used her technical prowess and aggressiveness to corner and then submit Sabrina de Sousa on the second round, Helena now brings her arsenal of foot attacks and her well-rounded game to face Salla Simola, A Hilti BJJ Turku representative who's also coming from a great victory in the organization, showing both agility and sturdiness as she used her guard to withstand Aurelie Le Vern's pressure while dishing out submission attempts to come out on top via decision in the ADXC 9.
