This week on the main Zak recap Ffion Davies vs Adele Fornarino on FPI 11.

In the news section of the show we talk about why we decided to push the recap of the IBJJF 2025 world championships into next week. Giving us more time to recap the fight pass invitational.

In the recap section we discussed Ffion Davies defeating Adele Fornarino by split decision. We discussed some of the dynamics of the match across all three rounds and addressed some of our frustrations with the closed scoring used under the unified rules. We discussed potentially how difficult it would be for Adele to win in this rule at given her preference for playing from the bottom essentially in our eyes, making it a requirement to submit to win given her style. We talked about a potential rematch happening as the women's super fight at the 2026 ADCC world championships and how much we would love to see the rematch take place under those rules.
