2006 IBJJF Pan Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 30 recorded matchups at the 2006 Pan, 18 ended by submission for a 60 percent submission rate. That tells you the field was finishing fights, not just riding advantages.
• ▸ The Armbar and Triangle Choke tied as the most common finishes on record, with 4 each. Both come off the same closed guard threat, so it is worth drilling them as a linked attack rather than separate techniques.
• ▸ Roger Gracie and Alexandre Ribeiro split their two finals here. Ribeiro took Super Heavyweight on an advantage, while Roger got him back in the Absolute final with a Triangle Choke.
• ▸ Roger Gracie went 4 wins with 4 submission wins on record, meaning every recorded victory came by finish. That is the cleanest submission ratio among the top performers at this event.
• ▸ Braulio Estima closed out the Heavyweight final over Eduardo Telles with a Triangle Armbar, part of his 4 wins and 3 submission wins recorded at the tournament.
