2019 ADCC World Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 116 recorded matchups at the 2019 ADCC World Championship, only 33 percent ended in submission. Points led all outcomes with 50, followed by 38 submissions, 20 decisions, and 8 penalty results, which tells you how much of this event was decided by control rather than finishes.
• ▸ Gordon Ryan's double gold run showed up in the numbers with 9 recorded wins, 7 of them by submission. That is the most wins of any competitor here, and it came with the highest submission count among the top performers.
• ▸ The Rear Naked Choke was the most common finish with 8, ahead of the Inside Heel Hook at 6. Even at a leg-lock heavy era of ADCC, the back attack stayed the single most reliable route to a submission.
• ▸ Gordon Ryan won the Absolute Division final over Marcus Almeida by 1 penalty in a 0x0 match. The biggest prize of the weekend was decided without a single point or submission being scored.
• ▸ Garry Tonon finished with 4 recorded wins and 3 submissions, and closed his event by taking bronze at -77kgs with an Outside Heel Hook on Dante Leon after dropping his semi-final to JT Torres 2x0.
