March 12, 2025

After months of anticipation and speculation regarding its next event, the Abu Dhabi Extreme Championship is finally ready to start unveiling the card of its ninth tournament. Marking the organization's return to the Dojo de Paris, in France, the ADXC 9 is set to take place on April 19th, with some of the most talented athletes in the world testing their skills in grappling's most fearsome cage. Opening the Main Card, Kalim Mastouri and Robson Gracie Jr bring a Jiu-Jitsu bout to the welterweight division.

Hailing from France, Kalim Mastouri is back in the ADXC. A Jiu-Jitsu black belt known for his prowess ever since his colored belt days, Kalim made a name for himself on the international scene by competing and winning some of the toughest tournaments worldwide. With a solid guard game, fast transitions, and even faster submissions, Kalim makes his way back to the cage looking for his third consecutive win in the ADXC, with his first victory coming via decision against Luca Anacoreta in ADXC 4 last May and his second one reached in November, with the French athlete heading to Brazil and landing a first-round submission against the local Ronys Torres in ADXC 7.

Meanwhile, Robson Gracie Jr gets ready for his ADXC debut. A Jiu-Jitsu black belt and brother to the legendary Renzo Gracie, Robson took his knowledge of the gentle art to thrive in MMA, making a name for himself as he conquered every single one of his victories in the sport via submission. With an aggressive game and a lot of mileage competing in cages, Robson will use all the tools at his disposal to bring another win to the Gracie family and emerge victorious from his first ADXC match.
