2013 ADCC World Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ The 2013 ADCC World Championship in Beijing, China ran across 126 recorded matchups, and the submission rate came out to just 8 percent. If you think of ADCC as a submission-only spectacle, the recorded numbers here tell a more grind-heavy story.
• ▸ Points were by far the most common recorded finish at this event with 21, compared to 10 by submission and only 1 by decision. On the mats where scores were tracked, position and points decided most of it.
• ▸ Of the submissions on record, the Heel Hook led the way with 4, ahead of every other technique which each showed up once. Leg attacks were doing real work in Beijing.
• ▸ Marcus Almeida "Buchecha" put together 8 wins here, the most of anyone, but only 1 came by submission. He won the over 99kg title and still ran into Roberto Abreu, who took the absolute crown on points.
• ▸ Kron Gracie recorded 6 wins with 2 by submission, the highest submission count among the top performers. That finishing edge fits his run to the under 77kg title by guillotine over Otavio Sousa.
