2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Slam Moscow
Sep 12, 2021
Did you know?
- Across 46 recorded matchups at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Slam Moscow, points decided the most fights with 24, while 16 ended by submission. If you train under AJP rules, that split is a reminder that position and scoring carry most days.
- The event ran a 35 percent submission rate on record. Solid finishing for a points-heavy ruleset, but it still means most matches went the distance on the scoreboard.
- Adam Wardzinski went 2-0 with both wins by submission, including a submission finish over Viacheslav Ilin in the Light Heavyweight final. When a heavier player finishes every match, it is worth studying how he closes the gap to the finish.
- Luiz Paulo Medeiros posted 2 wins with 2 submission wins on record here, a clean finishing run through his bracket. No decisions, no points battles.
- Arsen Shapiev and Pablo Durta each recorded 3 wins, the most at the event. Shapiev capped his run with a submission in the 94kgs final against Catriel Rodrigues, while Durta won his 69kgs final over Leonardo Saggioro on points.
