Did you know?

• ▸ Across 23 recorded matchups at the 2017 IBJJF Chicago Summer Open, 15 ended by submission and 8 went to points, a 65 percent submission rate. That is a finish-heavy event by IBJJF standards.
• ▸ Keenan Cornelius was the standout with 5 wins on record here, 4 of them by submission. He closed out the Absolute Division final over Gutemberg Pereira with a triangle choke.
• ▸ Gutemberg Pereira went a perfect 3 for 3 by submission in his recorded wins, the only top performer here to finish every win. His run ended in the Absolute final against Keenan Cornelius.
• ▸ The gi choke from back was the most common finish with 4, ahead of the armbar at 3. If you train no-gi you feel the difference, but in this IBJJF bracket the back-and-collar game led the way.
• ▸ Keenan Cornelius won two finals here, taking the Heavyweight title over John Gutta by cross collar choke before winning the Absolute Division. Both came by submission.
