2022 IBJJF Atlanta Spring International Open

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 41 recorded matchups at the 2022 IBJJF Atlanta Spring International Open, 20 ended by submission for a submission rate of 49 percent, so you had close to a coin flip chance of seeing a finish in any given match.
• ▸ The most common submission on record here was the Straight Ankle Lock with 5 finishes, ahead of the Gi Choke From Back at 4 and the Armbar at 3. Worth noting for a gi event where leg attacks often take a back seat to chokes.
• ▸ Helton Jose Junior led the event with 5 recorded wins, 3 of them by submission. He also fought two finals: he took the Absolute Division by Straight Ankle Lock over Levi Moura, then lost the Ultra Heavyweight final to Roosevelt Sousa on points.
• ▸ Levi Jones-Leary put together 4 wins here but came up short in the Middleweight final, dropping a decision to Alexandre de Jesus. That was one of only 3 matches at the event decided by decision.
• ▸ Both Italo Moura and Larissa De Almeida went 2 for 2 on the day, with all of their recorded wins coming by submission. That is a cleaner finishing rate than several competitors who racked up more total wins.
