2022 Rio Summer International Open IBJJF Jiu Jitsu Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 31 recorded matchups at the 2022 Rio Summer International Open, wins split evenly between submissions and points at 15 each, with just 1 decided by advantage. That is a 48 percent submission rate, which is high for an IBJJF gi event and tells you the top seeds were finishing, not stalling.
• ▸ Back attacks ruled the finishing stats here. Gi Choke From Back and Rear Naked Choke tied as the most common submissions at 4 each, so more than half the finishes came from someone's back control.
• ▸ Rider Zuchi led everyone with 6 recorded wins at this event, taking the Absolute Division final over Roberto Jimenez on points. Only 3 of those 6 wins came by submission, so he was just as comfortable grinding out a decision as hunting the finish.
• ▸ Roberto Jimenez showed both sides of the bracket in the Absolute Division. He submitted Pedro Elias with a Gi Choke From Back in the semis before running into Rider Zuchi in the final and dropping it on points.
• ▸ Fellipe Andrew went a perfect 3 wins by submission at Super Heavyweight, capping it with a Rear Naked Choke on David Souza in the final. Every recorded win he had came with a finish, which is the kind of run that ends a bracket early.
