2019 IBJJF Rome Fall Open

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 23 recorded matchups at the 2019 IBJJF Rome Fall Open, 10 ended in submission for a submission rate of 43 percent. Points accounted for 7 finishes and 5 came by other methods, so if you were competing here you were about as likely to get finished as to win on the scoreboard.
• ▸ The back was the most dangerous position on the mat. Of the recorded submissions, 5 were a gi choke from the back, more than every other finish type combined.
• ▸ Adam Wardzinski was the standout with 6 wins on record at this event, and 5 of those came by submission. He was finishing people at a rate no one else came close to.
• ▸ Wardzinski closed out the Absolute Division final over Ali Monfaradi by gi choke from the back, the same finish that showed up 5 times across recorded matches. He also took the Heavyweight final over Max Bickerton on points.
• ▸ Not every final needed a finish. Gabriel Marangoni took the Featherweight final over Cole Franson by decision, the only recorded match at the event settled that way.
