2019 IBJJF New York Spring No-Gi Open

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 26 recorded matchups at this event, only 1 ended by submission, a submission rate of 4 percent. This was a competition decided on the scoreboard, not by finishes.
• ▸ Points decided 12 of the recorded matches and advantages settled another 3, which tells you how tight the margins were on the mats that weekend.
• ▸ Felipe Cesar Silva led all competitors with 5 recorded wins, including the Absolute Division final over Gilvan Gomes da Costa on points, and he did it without a single submission on record here.
• ▸ Shane Jamil Hill-Taylor stood out for a different reason: of his 3 recorded wins, 1 came by submission, making him one of the few to close out a match by finish at an event where submissions were rare.
• ▸ Johnny Tama went through the Middleweight bracket on points, beating David Garmo in the semi-final and Khalil Fadlallah in the final for 4 recorded wins, all by the scoreboard.
