Polaris 32: Women’s Squads – Full Results and Highlights

Polaris 32 went down on June 28th, featuring the first-ever female Polaris Squads match, with a stacked North American squad taking on the best BJJ practitioners from Europe.

Teams were made up of six of the best women in the sport from their respective continents, with each athlete continuing to compete until the 80-minute time limit was reached. The lineup originally featured Helena Crevar and Ffion Davies as opposing team captains. Unfortunately, a last-minute change put an end to their highly anticipated clash. Davies was ultimately replaced by Nia Blackman 

Following a few more changes to the North American lineup, both squads stepped inside the Swansea Arena in Wales for a history-making night of grappling.
