2020 JitzKing Middleweights

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 21 recorded matchups in Clearwater, submissions closed out 9 finishes while points decided 10, landing the submission rate at 43 percent. That is close to an even split between finishers and points players in this bracket.
• ▸ Leg attacks led the finishing charts here, with 3 heel hooks and 2 kneebars on record. If you train no-gi, that tells you where the danger lived in this field.
• ▸ Pedro Marinho topped the field with 4 wins, 2 of them by submission. He backed it up by taking the Middleweight final on points over Oliver Taza.
• ▸ Oliver Taza reached the final by getting past Valdir Araujo in the Semi-Finals by decision, then ran into Marinho and dropped the final on points. Taza still finished with 3 wins, 2 by submission.
• ▸ Only 2 matchups on record went to a decision, and one of them was Taza over Araujo in the Semi-Finals. In a bracket where points and submissions dominated, needing the judges was rare.
