Did you know?
- Across the 31 recorded matches at the 2023 IBJJF Rome Open, 45 percent ended by submission. That is a high finishing rate for an IBJJF event, and it tells you the brackets were not just running out the clock.
- Leg attacks were a real theme in Rome. The Straight Ankle Lock showed up 3 times on record, tied with the Armbar as the most common finish, which is notable in a gi ruleset where people often expect chokes to dominate.
- Jonas Andrade went 2 wins and 2 submission wins on record here, meaning every match he won at the event, he finished. His Straight Ankle Lock over Misha Kanai in the Light-Featherweight division is one of those two.
- Matheus Vetoraci ran into trouble twice in the same weekend, losing to Charlie Adorian by Triangle Choke in the Open Weight and to Faris Lamkadem by Decision in the Medium-Heavyweight bracket.
- Points decided 9 of the recorded matches at Rome, the second most common outcome behind the 14 submissions. If you were cornering there, knowing how to grind out a lead still mattered as much as hunting the finish.
