2016 IBJJF South American Championships

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 44 recorded matchups at this event, 57% ended in submission. That is a high finishing rate for an IBJJF tournament, where points decisions are often the norm.
• ▸ The most common finish on record here was the gi choke from the back with 5, followed by 3 armbars and 3 lapel chokes. Back control and collar attacks did the most work.
• ▸ Victor Honorio led all competitors with 7 recorded wins, 3 of them by submission. He took the Ultra Heavyweight final over Igor Schneider on an advantage and then won the Absolute final over Erberth Santos 8 to 2.
• ▸ Claudio Calasans, Rodnei Barbosa, and Hiago George each finished every one of their 3 recorded wins by submission. When they got their hands on someone, the match usually did not reach the scoreboard.
• ▸ In the women's black belt Absolute final, Tayane Porfirio beat Mackenzie Dern by 20 to 0. Dern had 4 recorded wins at the event, 3 by submission, so the shutout is a measure of how dominant Porfirio was that day.
