We have no idea how good Adam is at hand-to-hand combat because we haven't seen him resort to it, but from what we have seen, he is noticeably superior to Sun in every other area. Ultimately, even if he couldn't use hand-to-hand to save his life, it wouldn't really matter in this scenario.

I cannot imagine a scenario where Adam somehow drops his weapon - he was shot in the face with a massive laser and still kept hold of it. And Sun wouldn't get the chance to disarm him, because of Adam's INSANE combat speed. Keep in mind, we've really only see Sun fight properly once, against Roman, who beat him to a stalemate and would likely have won if not for Blake's intervention. As much as I hate to use power-scaling, if Sun can't beat Roman, he isn't touching Adam. except you are talking about a Faunus that shoots his weapon(hilt first) at you, against an opponent who is fast enough to both block bullets and fire back with the same weapon simultaneously, Sun might not even need to disarm him.

Don't forget that there are serious scaling issues with combat shown in the trailers, and combat on the show, though I grant that "black" might be late enough that it is true to form, "red" definitely wasn't, and white definitely had it's odd moments, like Wiess having yet to be shown singing or using some of those other spells.

Adam vs Sun is very much a toss up, especially as Adam's "finisher" strike required time to charge up(and possibly fed on the energy beam), and Sun didn't really seem invested in that fight(against Roman), I would wager he held back a little for the tournament, as I recall he didn't even use clones.
