2008 IBJJF World No-Gi Championship
Dec 1 - 4, 2008
Did you know?
- Across 49 recorded matchups at the 2008 IBJJF World No-Gi Championship, submissions closed out only 14 percent of the fights. If you trained expecting no-gi to mean a finishing free-for-all, this event ran the other way.
- Points decided 14 of the recorded matches at this event, more than any other clear method. That tells you positional control still ruled even without the grips.
- Rubens Charles took 3 recorded wins here, 2 of them by submission. He was one of the few top performers actually hunting the finish rather than grinding out positions.
- Daniel Correia led all competitors with 4 recorded wins, and none of them came by submission. A reminder that you can win a bracket outright on control and scoring.
- When submissions did land, the rear naked choke was the most common with 2 finishes on record. The back remained the highest-percentage place to end a no-gi match here.
