2019 IBJJF New York Fall No-Gi Open

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 31 recorded matchups, only 26% ended by submission, with points deciding 14 of them. This was a grind-heavy event where positional control carried the day more often than a finish.
• ▸ When submissions did land, the armbar led the way with 3 on record. No other finish showed up more than once, so if you were scouting the mat, the armbar was the thing to defend.
• ▸ Devhonte Johnson posted 4 wins here, the most of anyone recorded, and did it with 0 submission wins. He took both of his Super Heavyweight finals on points, over Gabriel Araujo and Paul Ardila-Ibarra.
• ▸ Rida Haisam went 2 for 2 on submission wins, finishing every recorded victory. His Heavyweight final over Rodrigo Acioli came by armbar.
• ▸ Lucas Valente closed out the Ultra Heavyweight bracket with a triangle choke over Alexandre Bueno de Oliveira, one of only 8 submissions recorded across the whole event.
