2021 IBJJF Orlando Open

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 42 recorded matchups at the 2021 IBJJF Orlando Open, 19 finished by submission for a submission rate of 45 percent. That is close to a coin flip on whether a given match ended with a tap.
• ▸ The most common finish at the event was the gi choke from back, showing up 7 times on record. No other submission came close, with the armbar, ezekiel, and triangle each landing just 2.
• ▸ Renato Canuto took the Absolute Division, beating Michael Liera on points in the final. He racked up 4 wins with 3 of them by submission, so once he moved to the open weight bracket he was finishing nearly everyone in front of him.
• ▸ Michael Liera Jr. led all competitors with 5 recorded wins, 3 by submission, but he came up short in both finals he reached, losing on points to Johnatha Alves at Lightweight and to Renato Canuto in the Absolute Division.
• ▸ Tainan Dalpra won the Middleweight final over Jeferson Guaresi on points, and both men finished the event with 3 recorded wins and 2 submissions each. It was one of the more evenly matched brackets on paper before Dalpra edged it out.
