Benoit Saint Denis is gearing up for a challenge under the ADXC ruleset – as he prepares to take on Marc Diakiese in a no-gi welterweight grappling match!
Their bout will headline the ADXC 4 event on May 18, at Dojo De Paris in France.
And Saint Denis is very well aware that his opponent’s grappling skillset is well-developed:
I believe he fell in love with the process with another discipline of mixed martial arts, which is the grappling and the wrestling part.
He’s a good wrestler, he’s an athlete, he’s in the UFC a long time.
It will be tough opposition, but I’m more than ready.Let’s see who’s going to win and who’s going to put pressure 18th of May.
He sees ADXC 4 as a valuable opportunity to hone his skills and stay active while awaiting his next MMA bout:
The proposition ADXC is giving us is very exciting.
You will have a lot of cage control, you will have a lot more aggressive grappling style approach with judging not only being on points and on tactics, but on engagement of the fighters.
It’s an exciting way to put things on the table and to have a great show, and to have time to prepare for one specific part of the mixed martial arts career.
