The Canadian, representing GFTeam, will be entering into the -77kg weight class at ADCC.

While ALL divisions at ADCC are truly stacked from top to bottom with the sport’s top talent. The -77kg division has one of the deepest pools of talent. JT Torres is the returning champion for the division. Torres triumphantly returned to No-Gi competition this past weekend with fellow -77kg division member, Vagner Rocha. Other division athlete’s include: Lucas Lepri, Renato Canuto, DJ Jackson, Edwin Najmi, just to name a few.
