2006 Pan Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ Across the 30 recorded matchups at the 2006 Pan, 18 ended by submission for a submission rate of 60 percent. That tells you the finish was still very much on the table at this event, not just a points game.
• ▸ The armbar and the triangle choke tied as the most common finishes on record, with 4 apiece. Two classic closed guard attacks leading the count says a lot about the era.
• ▸ Roger Gracie went 4 wins with all 4 coming by submission at this event. A perfect finishing rate at that level of competition is rare.
• ▸ Roger Gracie and Alexandre Ribeiro met twice in finals here. Ribeiro took the Super Heavyweight final on an advantage, while Roger answered in the Absolute Division final with a triangle choke.
• ▸ Braulio Estima closed out the Heavyweight final over Eduardo Telles with a triangle armbar, the only recorded instance of that finish at the event.
