2015 ADCC World Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 115 recorded matchups at the 2015 ADCC World Championship, points decided 54 of them, more than any other method. Submissions accounted for 35, with another 24 going to decision.
• ▸ The submission rate here sat at 30 percent, and when finishes did come the rear naked choke led the way with 10 recorded. Armbars and heel hooks tied next with 5 each, a fair reflection of a no-gi event that rewards back takes and leg entries alike.
• ▸ Rodolfo Vieira topped the win column with 7 recorded victories at the event, 3 of them by submission. That is the most wins of any competitor in this field.
• ▸ Davi Ramos, Romulo Barral, and Vinny Magalhaes each racked up 3 submission wins on record here. Ramos and Barral did it inside 4 total wins apiece, meaning most of their path to the podium came by finish rather than points.
• ▸ Lucas Lepri cut through his bracket on points, beating Gamrot Mateusz 3 to 0 in the first round and Otavio Sousa 4 to 0 in the semi-final. Davi Ramos then caught him with a flying armbar in the 77kg final.
