2019 SJJIF World Championships
Nov 9 - 10, 2019
Did you know?
- Across the 25 recorded matchups at the 2019 SJJIF World Championships, 16 were decided on points and only 8 by submission, with 1 more going to a penalty. That points-heavy split is what you would expect from a tightly contested field under IBJJF rules.
- The submission rate at this event sat at 32 percent. If you are used to seeing finishes end most matches, that number is a reminder of how much high-level gi competition comes down to positional scoring.
- Lucas Valente stood out for finishing ability, with all 3 of his recorded wins coming by submission, including a gi choke from back over João Mendes in the Lightweight final. In a field that mostly went to points, that is a rare clean run.
- Pablo Durta led all competitors with 4 recorded wins, though only 1 came by submission. His Featherweight final over Corey Brown went to the scoreboard, which fits the way he advanced through the bracket.
- Ronaldo Souza Júnior and Gabriel Almeida met in the Medium Heavyweight final, where Almeida took it on points. Souza Júnior did claim gold elsewhere, winning the Absolute Division final over Otávio Sousa, also on points.
