Former UFC lightweight champion Ben Henderson will compete at the upcoming Abu Dhabi Combat Club tournament in Brazil.

Coming off a fourth-round submission win over Brandon Thatch in a 170-pound bout in February, "Smooth" has accepted an invitation to compete at the ADCC 2015, which takes place on Aug. 29 and 30 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, sources close to the situation confirmed to MMAFighting.

A jiu-jitsu black belt under John Crouch, Henderson competed several times in IBJJF grappling tournaments, and will enter ADCC’s 77kg (170 pounds) category.

Henderson won’t be the only MMA star entering the mat to compete at ADCC 2015. UFC welterweight Hector Lombard and Invicta FC champion Cris Cyborg are also slated to compete in Sao Paulo, and ADCC officials expect more MMA athletes to enter the tournament.

ADCC 2015 will also feature a pair of superfights, with ADCC 2013 absolute champion Roberto "Cyborg" Abreu taking on Andre Galvao, and ATT head coach Ricardo Liborio meets PRIDE veteran Ze Mario Sperry.

I've been wondering about the ratio of strength and conditioning with grappling/wrestling for people who compete seriously. I'm a hobbyist so I do what I want for fun, but with a competitor, where's the line for it? I get that being stronger and better conditioned is good, but wrestling and grappling itself is physically very tough, so why isn't that itself necessarily enough, especially if you do it a lot? It's skill based sport so why wouldn't you spend most of your time with the sport itself, if a dude spends the time wrestling where as other dude spends his time lifting or running, wouldn't you be better of of? American wrestlers are famous for doing a whole lot of strength and conditioning stuff, where as russian wrestlers just seem to wrestle.

So how this works? I've been doing judo for 8 years and we have done all kinds of stuff in the practice, a lot of drills, basic gymnastics and stuff but recently joined a bjj club where they just grapple and wrestle besides doing technique. You warm up rolling, do tecnique, roll the rest of the class. Again, just a hobbyist, but how competitors do it?

The high level competitors that I know weight train around 3x per week but don't supplement with much extra cardio on top of training and rolling.

" It's skill based sport so why wouldn't you spend most of your time with the sport itself, if a dude spends the time wrestling where as other dude spends his time lifting or running, wouldn't you be better of of?"
Not really at least at the level you're talking about. These guys all are in situations that allow them to train enough to where one isn't taking away from the other, and more time on the mats might even be counter-productive from an injury/recovery standpoint. And given the level of expertise at jiu jitsu the incremental benefit of another hour refining technique etc is going to be less than using that time to become stronger with vice like grips.

In summer college wrestling news, the six Western Wrestling Conference schools are folding into the Big XII as affiliate members for wrestling. I'm "meh" about this as a fan of a Big XII school. I really wish the rumors about joining the Big XII with the ACC for wrestling would have come to pass. That conference would have owned. But at least this restores the Big XII's qualifying status and gives extra depth for the conference tournament.

Seriously, whoever was advising Roger to drop lower than 205 for MMA was an idiot. He has the skills and reach to be fine at 205. Even if not the most massive, imposing figure in the 205 category, he's taller than most.

The really serious guys I've trained with all do extra-curricular workouts for strength and conditioning.

There's a fair amount of overlap with guys training for MMA at my gym, and they all do weights multiple times a week, specifically Kettlebells, or sometimes Olympic lifting.

A few of them also run, or play football (soccer) for cardio, but really a diverse set of kettlebells will do that too.

It helps a lot, BJJ is a skill based sport until it's not - strength and speed decide things when you're evenly matched. If you have better cardio, you can keep fighting for grips at full speed for the whole round and get the winning takedown. If you can swing a couple of kettlebells around for 100 reps, you'll have the power to force subs or escapes when you need to, even if your opponent is doing the right things to counter you.

Worth listening to. Dan Gable talks about how training smarter, not harder, could have prolonged his coaching career and led to even more success.

Not many people have ever worked harder on the mat than Gable, so you don't get much more authenticity when it comes to advocating an intelligent approach to training.

Whichever you prefer. I think of cups as plate armor for my balls and used to use one all the time, now I ditched the cup and just layer up with spats/underwear/shorts to provide leather armor for my balls.

You should wear shorts over your spats imo though, I consider not doing so unfashionable.

I'd wear one if I wasn't aiming to compete (they're banned) but take it easy while taking the back for example. It's perfectly alright to mash the thing into your opponent's spine in submission wrestling but not so okay in BJJ practice.

they're banned in most comps because they make armbars wicked easy to hurt someone with. For instance, they are banned in IBJJF comps, and most regional comps ban them to stay in line with the IBJJF.

Conversely I've never been to a jujitsu competition that allowed them, but some small ones that for one reason or another don't follow IBJJF rules apparently do. I imagine they may be submission wrestling tournaments first and BJJ second.
