2023 IBJJF European Championship

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 68 recorded matchups, 28 ended by submission, giving this event a 41 percent submission rate. That is a meaningful chunk of finishes for a gi tournament under IBJJF rules.
• ▸ The rear naked choke was far and away the most common finish on record here with 9, more than double the next submission, the armbar at 4. Even in the gi, back control did the heavy lifting.
• ▸ Kaynan Duarte went 4 wins with all 4 coming by submission, meaning every match he won on record he finished. He capped it in the Absolute Division final with a rear naked choke over Rider Zuchi.
• ▸ Tainan Dalpra won 3 matches, all by submission, closing out the Middleweight final with a collar choke on Pavel Kalesnik. A clean gi run with no decisions needed.
• ▸ Not every final was a finish. Fellipe Silva took the Heavyweight title on points over Adam Wardziński, and Andy Murasaki edged the Lightweight final by advantage against Natan Chueng, a reminder how tight the elite black belt divisions can be.
