2022 IBJJF Pan No-Gi Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 66 recorded matchups, points decided more contests than anything else, with 30 finishes by points against 19 by submission. That lines up with an overall submission rate of 29% and tells you how many finals came down to positional control.
• ▸ The inside heel hook was the single most common finish here with 7 recorded, well ahead of the rear naked choke at 3. Just a few weeks after ADCC, the leg game was clearly front and center at no-gi Pans.
• ▸ Elisabeth Clay went 4 for 4 by submission, meaning every recorded win came by finish. That matches her double gold run with a 100% submission ratio.
• ▸ In the Lightweight final, Deandre Corbe beat Kieran Kichuk on points. Worth noting Kichuk finished all 3 of his recorded wins by submission, so Corbe took away the finish and won the positional battle instead.
• ▸ Several finals were razor thin, decided only by advantages: José Cardoso over Helton Junior in the Absolute, Manuel Ribamar over Felipe Cesar Silva at Medium Heavyweight, and Gavin Corbe over Adam Benayoun at Featherweight. There were 11 wins by advantage recorded across the event.
