2017 IBJJF Asian Open
Sep 8 - 10, 2017
Did you know?
- Across 20 recorded matchups at the 2017 IBJJF Asian Open, 13 ended by submission for a submission rate of 65 percent. Only 5 wins came by points, so this was an event where finishing was the norm rather than the exception.
- Keenan Cornelius went 5 for 5 at the event, and all 5 of his recorded wins came by submission. He capped it with an armbar over Renan Secco in the Ultra Heavyweight final.
- Lucas Barbosa closed out two brackets with the same weapon, taking both his Medium Heavyweight final over Leandro Kussano and his Absolute semi-final over Igor Silva by gi choke from back.
- The most common finishes on record were the armbar and the gi choke from back, tied at 3 each. That back attack showing up so often lines up with how many finals ran through the back position.
- Igor Silva finished his own Ultra Heavyweight final over Daee Lee by submission, then met Lucas Barbosa in the Absolute semi-final and lost by gi choke from back. Same weekend, two very different results.
