Kasai Pro 6

Did you know?

• ▸ Kasai Pro 6 ran August 17 to 18, 2019 at The Showboat in Atlantic City under a submission-only ruleset, built around a 135 lbs bantamweight nogi Grand Prix with João Miyao, Geo Martinez, Ash Williams, and Jon Calestine in the mix.
• ▸ Across 32 recorded matchups, only 10 ended by submission for a submission rate of 31 percent, while 18 went to points. For a card sold as submission-only, most of the field still had to win on the scoreboard.
• ▸ The rear naked choke was the most common finish on record with 4, well ahead of the heel hook at 2. Everything else, including the armbar, kneebar, guillotine, and baratoplata, showed up just once each.
• ▸ Edwin "Junny" Ocasio led all competitors with 5 recorded wins at the event, and he did it without a single submission, grinding out results on points all the way to the Grand Prix final against João Miyao.
• ▸ Ashley Williams and João Miyao both finished with 2 submission wins apiece on record. Williams took Rafael Freitas with a rear naked choke in Group A, but still dropped a points decision to Richard Alarcon in the same group.
