Did you know?

• ▸ Across 26 recorded matchups at the 2021 AJP Tour Abu Dhabi International Pro - Gi, points decided the most fights with 13, while submissions accounted for 9 and decisions for 3. That points-heavy split is what you tend to expect under the AJP ruleset.
• ▸ The submission rate for this event sat at 35 percent, so roughly a third of finishes came by tap. The rest went to the scoreboard or the judges, which rewards fighters who can hold advantage positions rather than gamble for the finish.
• ▸ Renato Cardoso stood out among the top performers with 2 wins, both by submission. He capped it in the 94kgs final by finishing Ithalo Lopes.
• ▸ The 120kgs final saw Roosevelt Sousa beat Rodrigo Ribeiro on points. Ribeiro had earned his spot with a submission win over Sultan Al Ali in the semi-finals, so Sousa took out a man who had been finishing people on his way up.
• ▸ One podium spot at -77kgs was settled by disqualification, with Diogo Freitas beating Samuel Canquerino by DQ in the 3rd place match. It was the only DQ among the recorded results here.
