Did you know?
- Elevate Submission Series 16 ran August 10 to 11 in Houston, TX, with 26 recorded matchups across the card. That gives you a solid sample to see how the weekend actually played out.
- Of the 26 recorded matchups, 18 went to Decision and only 8 ended by Submission. For a card built around submissions, most people had to grind out the full time to get their hand raised.
- The submission rate on the recorded matches came in at 31 percent, so roughly a third of the field could actually close the deal on the mat rather than the scorecards.
- When submissions did land, they spread out. Choke and Armbar each showed up 2 times, with a Rear Naked Choke, Straight Ankle Lock, Heel Hook, and Americana Lock all appearing 1 time each. No single finish dominated the weekend.
- Only 2 of the recorded winners closed by submission, Travis Moore with 1 submission win and Jorge Vasquez with 1 submission win. Everyone else on the top performer list took their single win by decision.
