UFC BJJ 10 to feature Tackett vs. Gracie on Aug. 20, live on YouTube from the Meta Apex

UFC BJJ 10 is set for Thursday, Aug. 20, bringing another installment of the UFC’s Brazilian jiu-jitsu platform to the Meta Apex and to viewers around the world via the UFC BJJ YouTube channel. The event’s featured billing pairs Tackett against Gracie, positioning the matchup as the night’s centerpiece for a card built around high-level submission grappling.

The UFC’s announcement frames the evening as a must-watch series of bouts, with the main event matchup designed to deliver a clean look at styles that often separate competitors at the elite level of BJJ: top pressure, positional control, and the ability to convert advantages into submissions under timed pressure. While BJJ contests are scored on control and submission attempts, the attraction of a Tackett-Gracie matchup is that both names are commonly associated with grappling lineages and technical focus, creating built-in stakes for how quickly positions turn into chokes and joint attacks.

UFC BJJ 10 will begin at 8 p.m. ET and 5 p.m. PT on Thursday, Aug. 20. UFC indicates the event will be streamed live on the UFC BJJ YouTube channel, which continues the organization’s approach to making the grappling series widely accessible outside of traditional pay-per-view combat-broadcast windows.

For fans of the UFC’s combat sports ecosystem, the event matters because it sits at the intersection of MMA visibility and specialist grappling development. Brazilian jiu-jitsu has become a foundational skill set for modern MMA athletes, and UFC BJJ’s structure gives practitioners a dedicated stage where the rules and pacing are built specifically for submissions, scrambles, and sustained positional battles.

The event is also a reminder of how the UFC has treated grappling as more than a sidebar. By spotlighting matchups with recognizability and a clear “fight card” format, UFC BJJ helps establish a clearer performance pathway for grapplers who can translate their technical work into consistent, match-proven outcomes.

What to watch next is the full breakdown of the card beyond the Tackett vs. Gracie centerpiece, including how the co-feature bouts match up in terms of weight, pace, and tactical approach. With the event live on YouTube, results and turning points will likely be quickly visible to viewers as submissions and positional swings shape the storyline of UFC BJJ 10.
