2011 IBJJF World Championship
May 31 - Jun 3, 2011
Did you know?
- Across 100 recorded matchups at the 2011 Mundials, 40 ended by submission and 39 by points. When it did not finish, matches were about as likely to be decided on the scoreboard as on the mat.
- Rodolfo Vieira led all competitors with 8 recorded wins on his way to the absolute title, and 4 of those came by submission. That is a heavy grip-and-pressure game translating straight into finishes.
- Both Marcus Almeida "Buchecha" and Kron Gracie showed submission-first games here: Buchecha finished all 4 of his recorded wins, and Kron finished 3 of his 4. Different weights, same hunt for the tap.
- The finals leaned heavily on positional control rather than finishes. Of the 8 recorded division finals, 6 were decided on points, with only Rafael Mendes over Augusto Mendes going to advantages and Leonardo Nogueira over Marcus Almeida going to a decision.
- The most common finishing holds in the recorded matches were the choke and the triangle choke, each landing 7 times, just ahead of the armbar at 6. Neck attacks were the story of the tournament.
