2021 IBJJF Orlando No-Gi International Open

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 28 recorded matchups at the 2021 IBJJF Orlando No-Gi International Open, 15 ended by submission, a submission rate of 54 percent. That tells you the finishing was live, not something you had to squint for on the scoreboard.
• ▸ The most common submission on record here was the choke with 3 finishes, but leg attacks showed up too, with 2 inside heel hooks and 1 kneebar among the recorded finishes. It reflects the no-gi meta where you have to defend both ends at once.
• ▸ Aaron Johnson was the busiest winner on record at this event with 4 wins, 2 of them by submission. Nobody else recorded more than 3 wins.
• ▸ Pedro Marinho took the Heavyweight final over Giancarlo Bodoni by guillotine choke. Both men finished the event with 3 wins on record, so it was two strong runs colliding at the top of the bracket.
• ▸ In the Lightweight final, Kieran Kichuk beat Ricky Semiglia by inside heel hook, and both of Kichuk's 2 recorded wins here came by submission. Two finals ran at Lightweight, with Gianni Grippo taking the other on points over Mauricio Bobadilla.
