2022 IBJJF Rio Summer International Open Jiu Jitsu Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ Across the 31 recorded matchups at the 2022 IBJJF Rio Summer International Open, wins split evenly between submission and points, 15 each, with just 1 decided by advantage. That is a clean picture of an event where you either finished or you controlled the scoreboard.
• ▸ The submission rate at this event sat at 48 percent, and the back was the story. Gi Choke From Back and Rear Naked Choke led all finishes with 4 apiece, so more than half the highest-count submissions came from a controlling back position.
• ▸ Rider Zuchi was the workhorse of the bracket with 6 recorded wins, 3 of them by submission. He capped it by taking the Absolute Division final over Roberto Jimenez on points.
• ▸ Fellipe Andrew went a perfect 3 wins with all 3 by submission on record here, finishing David Souza with a Rear Naked Choke in the Super Heavyweight final and Matheus Marques with a Straight Ankle Lock in the semis. Two very different attacks, same result.
• ▸ Natan Chueng reached the Middleweight final twice on record and won both by points, over Kauan Barboza and over Darlan Casaca. When the finish did not come, his scoreboard game held up.
