2009 IBJJF World Championship
May 28 - 31, 2009
Did you know?
- Roger Gracie went 6 for 6 on record at the 2009 Worlds, and all 6 of those wins came by submission. That is a clean sweep with no reliance on points or advantages.
- Across 64 recorded matchups, 19 ended by submission and another 19 were decided on points. The submission rate sat at 30 percent, so most matches came down to positional scoring rather than a finish.
- Collar chokes dominated the finishing picture, with the Gi Choke From Back and the Cross Collar Choke each landing 4 times. If you train the gi, the message is clear about where the finishes live.
- Roger Gracie closed out the Absolute Division final over Rômulo Barral with a Cross Collar Choke. Barral was no easy out, taking his own Medium Heavyweight final over Tarsis Humphreys by decision.
- Three of the recorded finals were settled without a finish or points at all: Barral over Humphreys and Rubens Charles over Bruno Frazatto went to decision, while Guilherme Mendes edged Samuel Braga on advantage.
