2019 IBJJF American National Jiu-Jitsu Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 52 recorded matchups at the 2019 IBJJF American National Championship, 23 ended by submission. That is a 44 percent submission rate, so nearly half the recorded matches were finished rather than decided on points or advantages.
• ▸ Fellipe Trovo led all competitors with 9 recorded wins, 5 of them by submission. He capped it in the Absolute Division final with a Kimura over Leonardo Domingos Costa Benedito.
• ▸ Fellipe Andrew finished all 4 of his recorded wins by submission, and he showed range doing it: an Arm Triangle Choke on John Hansen in one Absolute Division final and a Straight Ankle Lock on Wellington Peroto in the Super Heavyweight final.
• ▸ The Armbar was the most common finish in the recorded submissions with 4, tied with a group of unrecorded finish types also at 4. Trovo's Heavyweight final against Guilherme Lima went a different route entirely, ending with an Ezekiel Choke.
• ▸ Jaime Canuto took both of his recorded finals wins on points, including one over Guthierry Barbosa in the Middleweight final. Barbosa himself had 4 recorded wins on the event, so this was a decision between two strong performers rather than a mismatch.
