UFC BJJ has officially announced a stacked lineup for UFC BJJ 10, with three championship bouts and several high-profile matchups scheduled to take place at the UFC Apex on Thursday, August 20.
Headlining the event, reigning UFC BJJ Welterweight Champion Andrew Tackett will put his title on the line against accomplished Brazilian grappler Jonnatas Gracie. Tackett has quickly established himself as one of the promotion’s top stars, but Gracie presents a dangerous challenge as he looks to capture UFC BJJ gold.
The co-main event will feature another championship clash as Women’s Featherweight Champion Rebeca Lima defends her title against Canadian standout Brianna Ste-Marie, who makes her highly anticipated UFC BJJ debut. Ste-Marie has built a reputation as one of the top female competitors in the sport and will have the opportunity to claim championship gold in her first appearance for the promotion.
The lightweight title will also be up for grabs when reigning champion Renato Canuto meets submission specialist Ethan Crelinsten. Both athletes are widely regarded among the most entertaining grapplers in the world, making the championship showdown one of the most anticipated matches on the card.
Beyond the three title fights, UFC BJJ 10 features several intriguing matchups. Former ADCC standout William Tackett returns to face Fedor Nikolov in a middleweight contest, while veteran submission grappler Vagner Rocha takes on Andy Varela. The women’s division will also be well represented, with Adele Fornarino, Cassia Moura, Bre Stikk, Carol Brunacio, Ana Lima, and Danielle Kelly all set to compete.
