2020 IBJJF San Jose Open

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 23 recorded matchups, submissions accounted for a 39 percent finish rate, with 9 wins by submission and 10 by points. The margin between those two methods was thin, so most brackets came down to how well you could either hold position or hunt the finish.
• ▸ The back was the most productive attacking position at this event. Gi Choke From Back showed up 4 times on record, more than double the next most common finishes, the Rear Naked Choke and Triangle Choke at 2 each.
• ▸ Nisar Loynab and Jeremy Jackson met in the Absolute Division final, with Loynab taking the win on points. Both men finished with 3 wins on record, but only Loynab did it while advancing through a submission, a Gi Choke From Back over Renato Tagliari in the semi-finals.
• ▸ Fellipe Trovo and Brandon Walensky each finished with 2 wins, and every one of those wins came by submission. Trovo closed out the Heavyweight final with a Triangle Choke on Nathan Chau, while Walensky took the Featherweight final with a Gi Choke From Back over Rodrigo Cardoso.
• ▸ Not every final ended cleanly. The Medium Heavyweight final between Horlando Monteiro and Nicholas Greene went to Monteiro by DQ, the only disqualification among the recorded results.
