2020 IBJJF Kansas City Open

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 27 recorded matchups at the 2020 IBJJF Kansas City Open, 14 ended by submission. That puts the submission rate at 52 percent, so more than half of finishes came from a tap rather than the scoreboard.
• ▸ The most common submission on record at this event was the gi choke from the back, showing up 6 times. Nothing else came close, with the next entries appearing just once each.
• ▸ Roberto Jimenez went 6 wins with 6 submission wins here, meaning every recorded win came by finish. He took both the Heavyweight final and the Absolute final, closing each with a gi choke from the back.
• ▸ The Absolute Division final paired Roberto Jimenez against Yago de Souza, with Jimenez taking it by gi choke from the back. De Souza still put together 5 wins on the weekend, 3 of them by submission.
• ▸ Not every top finisher relied on subs. Paulo Gabriel and Tanner Rice each won on record without a single submission, Gabriel with 3 wins and Rice with 2, taking the Lightweight and Ultra Heavyweight finals on points.
