- The back was the most productive position for finishes here, with 3 recorded submissions coming from the Gi Choke From Back. The Triangle Choke was next with 2.
- Michael Liera Jr. was the standout with 4 wins on record, 3 of them by submission. He took the Lightweight final over Rodrigo Conceicao on points and closed a semi-final with a Gi Choke From Back.
