2019 ADCC West Coast Trials

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 203 recorded matchups at the 2019 ADCC West Coast Trials, 112 ended by submission and 85 by points, with just 6 going to decision. That works out to a 55 percent submission rate, which tells you how aggressively people were finishing under ADCC rules.
• ▸ Of the finishes on record, only a handful were named specifically: 2 rear naked chokes, 1 outside heel hook, and 1 triangle choke. The rest were logged without a labeled technique, so read the submission mix with that in mind.
• ▸ John Combs led the field with 6 recorded wins, 5 of them by submission, capping his run by finishing William Tackett in the -77kgs final.
• ▸ Nicky Ryan went a perfect 5 wins with all 5 coming by submission, including a rear naked choke over Keith Krikorian in the -66kgs final. That kind of finishing consistency is rare even at a Trials this deep.
• ▸ Nick Rodriguez, Josh Hinger, Mason Fowler, Amanda Leve, and Jena Bishop each posted 5 recorded wins, and four of the five finals listed ended by submission, showing how many divisions were decided by a finish rather than a scoreline.
