In the final, Moody submitted another CJI 2 vet in Marcin Maciulewicz.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Pawel Jaworski, who won CJI 2 Trials to make it to Team Europe, ran through another tough bracket to earn his spot at ADCC 2026. The 21-year-old Polish grappler won six matches, beating the likes of Santeri Lilius and Tarik Hopstock to win gold at -88 kg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The 77 kg was by far the most stacked, with a division that had Oliver Taza, Jed Hue, and UFC BJJ vet Davis Asare among others. Beating out those names in a division with 82 competitors though, was Dagestani grappler Magomed Dzharbaev, who won his rematch with New Wave\u2019s Taza in the final.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The two others earning slots for ADCC 2026 were Nikodem Mikuliszyn at 66 kg and Mark Macqueen at +99 kg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">There were Women\u2019s divisions that were hosted too, but these results will only be used for seeding as the official ADCC 2026 slots for women will only be handed on the second ADCC EMEA Trials event.
