North America, East Coast ADCC

Did you know?

  • Across 23 recorded matchups at the 2018 ADCC US East Coast Trials, 52% ended by submission. That is a high finishing rate for a Trials bracket, where a lot of grapplers play it safe to survive to the next round.
  • The submission that showed up most often was the rear naked choke with 3, followed by the kneebar with 2. That mix of a back finish and a leg attack tells you the field was comfortable at both ends of the body.
  • Ethan Crelinsten put together 5 wins on the day with 4 of them by submission. Getting through a Trials that deep on finishes rather than points is a rare thing to pull off.
  • Crelinsten's semi final win over Tye Ruotolo came by a toe hold/kneebar finish. Catching one of the Ruotolo twins with a leg lock in a live bracket is a result worth remembering.
  • Tim Spriggs and Jonathan Satava also both recorded 5 wins, but Spriggs closed only 1 by submission while Satava closed 2. Three different grapplers reaching 5 wins shows how deep you had to go in this bracket to earn a spot.
