Did you know?

• ▸ The 2015 ADCC World Championship in Sao Paulo has 111 recorded matchups, and only 30 percent of those ended in submission. If you train ADCC ruleset, this is a reminder that points and passing decide most matches at the top level.
• ▸ Across the recorded matches at 2015 ADCC, the rear naked choke was the most common finish with 10, followed by the heel hook with 6 and the armbar with 5. The choke still leads even in a field full of leg lockers.
• ▸ Rodolfo Vieira led all competitors at 2015 ADCC with 7 recorded wins, 3 of them by submission. That is a heavy pace of work for one weekend, and it shows the kind of pressure game that defined his era.
• ▸ Davi Ramos won gold at 77kg with a flying armbar over Lucas Lepri, and the event records only 1 flying armbar total. On record here he had 4 wins with 3 by submission, so his finishing rate stood out among the top performers.
• ▸ Lucas Lepri looked dominant on the way to the 77kg final, beating Gamrot Mateusz 3 to 0 in Round 1 and Otavio Sousa 4 to 0 in the semi-final, both on points. Then Davi Ramos ended his run with a flying armbar in the final.
