Did you know?
- The 2023 Sul Brasileiro produced a 44% submission rate across recorded adult black belt matches, so nearly half the finishes on record came by tap rather than by points or decision.
- The most common finish on record was the gi choke from back, showing up 4 times, ahead of the straight ankle lock at 3. If you want to model your game after what actually worked here, the back was the place to be.
- Rafael Paganini led all competitors with 3 recorded wins on his way to double gold, though only 1 of those came by submission. That is a reminder that closing out a hard bracket often comes down to control, not just the finish.
- Of the recorded victory methods, Points accounted for 11 and Submission for 18, so more matches ended in a tap than on the scoreboard.
- Lucas Tres finished with a gi choke from back in the Final against Andre Ygor after taking the semi-final by toe hold against Guilherme Fernandes, mixing a leg attack and a back finish across two rounds.
