2020 IBJJF Miami Winter Open

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 21 recorded matchups at the 2020 IBJJF Miami Winter Open, 52% ended by submission, with 11 finishes total. That is a high finishing rate for an IBJJF gi event, so this bracket rewarded people who hunted the tap rather than played the score.
• ▸ The back was the most dangerous position on the mat here. The Gi Choke From Back accounted for 4 of the recorded submissions, more than double any other technique.
• ▸ Angelo Claiborne led the event with 5 wins on record, though only 2 came by submission, so he was grinding through his bracket on control and positioning rather than relying on the finish.
• ▸ Andre Gois posted 4 wins with 3 of them by submission, including a Darce Choke over Julian Syan in the Middleweight final. His run stopped in the Absolute Division semi-finals, where Roberto Abreu caught him with a choke.
• ▸ Several finals were closed out by submission, including Gianni Grippo taking the Lightweight title over Francis Quinn with a Gi Choke From Back and Joao Miyao finishing Luis Felipe Ninja Pinto with a Triangle Choke at Light Featherweight.
