2001 IBJJF World Championship
May 29 - Jun 1, 2001
Did you know?
- Across 26 recorded matchups at the 2001 IBJJF World Championship, only 6 ended by submission, a submission rate of 23 percent. Points decided the most with 11 finishes, which tracks with how tight the finals tended to be.
- Fernando Pontes led all competitors with 8 recorded wins, and 4 of those came by submission. That is a rare split for the era, where most top performers were grinding out decisions.
- The armbar was the most common submission on record with 3, ahead of the choke at 2. Even Márcio Corleta's Ultra Heavyweight final win over Garth Taylor came by armbar, so it worked at the heaviest weights too.
- One of the few finals that ended by finish was Fernando Pontes over Saulo Ribeiro by baseball bat choke, the only recorded instance of that submission at the event.
- Two finals were settled on advantages: Marcio Feitosa over Leonardo Santos at Lightweight and Ricardo Vieira over Daniel Beleza at Light Featherweight. There were only 2 advantage decisions recorded across the whole event, and both landed in title matches.
