2018 Marianas Open Jiu Jitsu Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ The 2018 Marianas Open Jiu Jitsu Championship ran April 22 to 23 in Ordot, Guam, with 21 recorded matchups across the bracket.
• ▸ Points decided the most matches at this event with 12, well ahead of the 5 finishes by submission. If you came here expecting a submission shootout, the scoreboard did most of the talking.
• ▸ Submissions closed out matches at a 24 percent rate here, and the two most common finishes were the kneebar and the armbar with 2 each. That is a leg attack showing up as often as the armbar, which is worth noting.
• ▸ Felipe Pena went through Tanner Rice in the semi-finals and then beat Jackson Sousa in the 180+lbs final, both on points. That is a title run built on control rather than the finish.
• ▸ Isaque Bahiense and Felipe Pena both posted 3 wins on record at the event, but Bahiense did it with 2 submission wins to Pena's 1. Bahiense took his 180lbs final over Renato Canuto on points.
