2017 IBJJF Miami Fall Open

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 23 recorded matchups at the 2017 IBJJF Miami Fall Open, points decided 11 of them, more than any other method. Only 7 ended by submission, so most finals came down to positional control rather than a tap.
• ▸ The submission rate at this event sat at 30 percent. The gi choke from back led the way with 4 finishes, followed by the armbar with 3.
• ▸ Roberto Abreu had the busiest bracket run on record here with 5 wins, 3 of them by submission. He won both the Ultra Heavyweight and Absolute Division finals against Max Gimenis.
• ▸ Abreu and Gimenis met twice in finals. Abreu took the Absolute by gi choke from back and the Ultra Heavyweight title on advantage, so Gimenis got two shots and came away with two losses.
• ▸ Horlando Monteiro reached the record books with 4 wins and 0 submission wins, taking the Heavyweight final over Diego Gamonal Nogueira on points. His run before falling to Abreu in the Absolute semis was built on control rather than finishing.
