2026 ENYO Grappling 8: North vs South

Did you know?

• ▸ The South defeated the North 11-5 in the headline team match, but the first half ended much tighter with the North up 5-4 before the South ran off a string of finishes.
• ▸ Vanessa English was the standout of the event with 4 recorded wins, and all 4 came by submission. She opened with a Mir lock over Amy Derwanz and kept the finishes coming through the second half.
• ▸ Of 39 recorded matchups, 26 ended by submission for a 67 percent submission rate. Only 6 went to decision and 7 were recorded as draws.
• ▸ The armbar was by far the most common finish here with 9 recorded, ahead of the rear naked choke at 4. If you train with this crowd, tightening up your armbar defense is time well spent.
• ▸ The finishing variety went well beyond the basics: alongside the armbars and chokes, there were 2 recorded kneebars, plus a heel hook from Hayleigh Heather over Hayley Curtis. Leg locks were clearly part of the game plan.
