2021 ADCC 1st European, Middle East and African Trial

Did you know?

• ▸ Across the 94 recorded matchups at the 2021 ADCC 1st European, Middle East and African Trial in Lubon, submissions accounted for 43 percent of finishes, with 40 matches ending by submission.
• ▸ Points were the most common way to win outside of submissions, deciding 34 matches, followed by 12 by decision and 6 settled on advantages. That tells you how tight the margins were once matches went the distance.
• ▸ Oliver Taza led the field with 6 recorded wins, though he only closed 1 of those by submission. He took the -77kgs final over Magomed Dzharbaev on an advantage, so that run came down to control and scoring rather than finishes.
• ▸ Eoghan O'Flanagan went 3 wins with 3 of them by submission on record, including the -88kgs final over Thomas Loubersanes. When he won, he finished.
• ▸ Perttu Tepponen and Dominik Olszewski met in the -99kgs semi-finals, where Tepponen won by submission. Tepponen carried that through to the -99kgs final, beating Samuel Karas on points for 5 wins total, while Olszewski regrouped to take his 3rd place match by submission.
