Did you know?

  • Across 60 recorded matchups at the 2013 Pan, 28 ended by submission for a submission rate of 47 percent. That is a reminder that even at black belt the majority of these matches were still decided on the mat, not the scoreboard.
  • Andre Galvao led all competitors with 6 recorded wins, 4 of them by submission. He took the medium heavyweight title over Guto Campos and pushed all the way to the open weight final.
  • The featherweight final between Rafael Mendes and Rubens Charles went to referee decision, one of only 4 matches settled that way. Both had strong runs, each with 3 recorded wins on the way there.
  • The omoplata tied the armbar as the most common submission with 4 finishes each. Seeing the omoplata land that often at this level tells you it was being used as a real finishing threat, not just a sweep setup.
  • Marcus Almeida ran up 19 points against Guto Campos in the quarter-finals, holding Campos to 2. He closed the event with 4 recorded wins and the open weight title over Andre Galvao.
