GrappleFest 10 is bringing a stacked card to the UK, making their return in impressive fashion with a number of elite competitors on the main card and plenty of local talent to come before them.
The promotion announced the full card today, just a few days after revealing that Oliver Taza and Dante Leon would be going head to head for the -80kg interim title. Taza, an ADCC veteran, will be returning to the big event in 2022 after extending his winning streak with an undefeated run to the top in the ADCC European, African, & Middle Eastern Trials just weeks ago. Leon, one of the most impressive grapplers of recent years, last competed at the WNO Championship, getting past Jon Blank in the quarter-finals before being stopped by Tye Ruotolo in the semis.
Both Tye and Kade Ruotolo, each of whom won their respective divisions at the WNO Championship, will be on this card as well; Kade will be going up against CJJ and Emerald City Invitational veteran Keith Krikorian in a battle for the -70kg belt, while Tye will be facing Polaris Squads and Subversiv veteran Nick Ronan in a 77kg match.
