2018 IBJJF Brazilian Nationals
May 1 - 6, 2018
Did you know?
- Across 102 recorded matchups at the 2018 IBJJF Brazilian Nationals, 55 ended by submission, which works out to a 54 percent submission rate. That is a high finishing rate for a gi event at this level, and it tells you the black belt divisions were not playing it safe.
- The armbar led all finishes with 12, ahead of the gi choke from back at 9. If you train gi, that split is a good reminder that both the classic joint attack and back control choke stay relevant against elite opposition.
- Nicholas Meregali went 7 for 7 on record here, with all 7 wins coming by submission. He capped it in the Super Heavyweight final with an Ezekiel Choke over Igor Schneider, a submission that only showed up 3 times across the whole event.
- Fellipe Andrew won all 6 of his recorded matches by submission, finishing Dimitrius Souza in the Heavyweight final with a Straight Ankle Lock. The ankle lock appeared only 4 times overall, so closing a final with one against that competition stands out.
- Not every division came down to a finish. The Middleweight final between Marcos Tinoco and Yago de Souza was decided by Advantage, one of only 10 matches settled that way, with Tinoco taking the win.
