2022 World IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 124 recorded matchups at the 2022 World IBJJF No-Gi Championship, only 42 ended in submission, giving a submission rate of 34 percent. Points decided the most matches at 52, which tells you how many bouts went the distance on the score.
• ▸ Leg locks led the submission board with 11 heel hooks recorded, ahead of 9 rear naked chokes. Add in 3 toe holds and you get a clear picture of how central the lower body game had become to no-gi at this level.
• ▸ Dante Leon topped the event with 5 wins, and 3 of them came by submission. That finishing pace stood out in a bracket where most top performers leaned on points and decisions.
• ▸ Jonatas da Silva, Carlos Campos, and Jose Henrique all racked up wins without a single submission among them, da Silva going 4 and 0 on finishes and Campos and Henrique each at 3 wins with 0 submission wins. Their runs show you can advance deep on positional control alone.
• ▸ Of the 42 submissions recorded, the rarest on the board were the 2 triangle chokes. In a division full of leg entanglements, catching someone in a triangle was the exception rather than the rule.
