Jan 18, 2020
Did you know?
- Across 91 recorded matchups at the 2020 Abu Dhabi Grand Slam, points decided 60 of them. Under the AJP ruleset, if you want to win here, you need to be comfortable grinding out a positional lead, not just hunting the finish.
- The submission rate for the event sat at 24 percent, with 22 wins coming by submission. That is a reminder that even at a high level, most matches at this event went the distance on the scoreboard.
- Hiago George went a perfect 3 wins with 3 submission wins on record here, meaning every match he won ended in a finish. He closed out his division by taking the final against Diego Pato Oliveira with a triangle choke.
- Renato Cardoso also stood out as a finisher, with 2 of his 3 recorded wins coming by submission. In a bracket where points ran the day, submitting most of your opponents is the outlier.
- Gabriel Sousa took his final against Israel Sousa by golden score in overtime, one of only 2 wins at the event logged as advantages. When neither man can build a scoring lead, it comes down to who blinks first in the extra period.
