2012 World Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi IBJJF Championships
Dec 1 - 4, 2012
Did you know?
- Across 80 recorded matchups at the 2012 Worlds No-Gi, only 16 percent ended by submission. Most people came in expecting to grind through points and positional work rather than finish, and the numbers back that up.
- Of the recorded finishes, the Rear Naked Choke and the Armbar led the way with 4 each. Everything else, including the Kimura, Arm Triangle Choke, Darce Choke, and Guillotine Choke, showed up just once.
- Alexandre Ribeiro put together 7 recorded wins at this event, more than anyone else, but only 1 of them came by submission. That fits his reputation as a positional grinder who wears opponents down rather than hunting the finish.
- Clark Gracie stood out for finishing rate here, closing out 2 of his 3 recorded wins by submission. In an event where submissions were scarce overall, that is a notable share for one competitor.
- Two Super Heavyweight finals at this event went the distance to a decision, with Alexandre Ribeiro beating Joao Assis and Roberto Alencar taking the Heavyweight final over Rafael Lovato Jr. Deep divisions often come down to judges when neither man will give ground.
