A massive brawl has erupted at ADCC 2026, involving Dorian Olivarez and his famous teammate and coach, Gordon Ryan.
One of the 66 kg tournament favorites in Olivarez finished Bezkat Kapashov in the opening round of a Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) match that was extra chippy and physical. Tensions flared immediately after the submission, with a pretty large Kazakh team contingent confronting Olivarez and his cornermen.
Things quickly escalated to a pretty sizable brawl involving Ryan, Olivarez and the Kapashov's entire team. Ryan was eventually seen on the ground and taking punches while going against three men in a chaotic scene.
ADCC officials eventually pulled people off him to de-escalate the situation, and the scuffle was eventually diffused after a minute. Fortunately, no one seemed to have been seriously hurt.
Olivarez will be able to continue onto the next round. Ryan was seen throwing a thumbs up towards officials as he just immediately went back to his chair on the next mat, as one of his many teammates on the card was still competing.

Submission grappling’s pound-for-pound queen Helena Crevar dazzled the world in her global stage debut, and she is already plotting an even more commanding encore.
The 19-year-old phenom squares off against American debutant Paige Ivette Clymer in a 10-minute openweight submission grappling contest at The Inner Circle 22, streaming exclusively for members on live.onefc.com from Bangkok’s historic Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, July 17.
Crevar’s inaugural ONE appearance left absolutely no room for debate. The Las Vegas native needed just 100 seconds to dismantle Teshya Noelani Alo with a slick Estima lock at ONE Fight Night 39 last January, setting an impossibly high bar for her sophomore outing.
However, her upcoming adversary brings serious credentials and an imposing physical presence. A 2026 ADCC West Coast Trials winner and black belt under Keenan Cornelius at Legion American Jiu-Jitsu, Clymer is an all-action force with a game built specifically to break people.
Crevar has never shied away from a physical challenge, and Clymer’s stature adds an entirely new dimension to what is already a fascinating stylistic matchup.

ONE Championship newcomer Paige Ivette Clymer’s signature cowgirl hat is certainly not just a promotional accessory.
The 33-year-old American wears it proudly because it reflects a core part of her identity that has grown far beyond a simple sense of style. Away from the daily grind of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the grueling competition circuits, and the suffocating intensity of elite submission grappling, the Legion American Jiu Jitsu Academy black belt has developed a profound love for horseback riding.
Clymer is set to make her highly anticipated ONE debut against teenage phenom Helena Crevar in a 10-minute openweight submission grappling contest at The Inner Circle 22 on Friday, July 17. The blockbuster event streams live from Bangkok’s iconic Lumpinee Stadium exclusively for members at live.onefc.com.
The 2025 ADCC West Coast Trials winner brings a remarkable 118-7 grappling record into her promotional debut. But before she tests her world-class skills on the global stage, Clymer is happy to showcase a much different side of herself: the San Diego native who feels absolutely most at home in the saddle.
Clymer’s deep relationship with horses began long before she ever tied a black belt around her waist or built her fearsome reputation on the mats.
