2012 IBJJF World No-Gi Championship
Dec 1 - 4, 2012
Did you know?
- Across 80 recorded matchups at the 2012 IBJJF World No-Gi Championship, submissions closed out only 16 percent of them. If you trained expecting no-gi to mean more finishes, this event tells a different story.
- Points decided 25 matches and the catch-all Other category accounted for 31, while only 13 ended by submission. At this level the scoring battle mattered more than the finish.
- The rear naked choke and the armbar tied as the most common finishes on record, each showing up 4 times. Everything else, the kimura, arm triangle, darce, and guillotine, appeared just once apiece.
- Alexandre Ribeiro led all competitors with 7 recorded wins, capping his run with a decision over Joao Assis in the Super Heavyweight final. Only 1 of those 7 wins came by submission, which fits the grind-it-out nature of this bracket.
- Clark Gracie went 3 wins with 2 of them by submission, the highest submission share among the top performers. In an event where finishes were scarce, he was one of the few consistently hunting the tap.
