Fight to Win 164

Did you know?

• ▸ Fight to Win 164 in Dallas, Texas ran 21 recorded matches with a 43% submission rate, so more than half of the results came down to the judges. If you were on the fence about how F2W tends to play out on the day, that split is a good reminder to finish.
• ▸ Of the 21 recorded matches, 12 ended by decision and 9 by submission. That is a card where positional control and pace mattered as much as any single finishing sequence.
• ▸ The submissions at this event were spread wide rather than clustered, with the bow and arrow, arm triangle choke, gi choke from back, toe hold, lapel choke, and collar choke each showing up 1 time on record. No single go-to finish dominated the night.
• ▸ Chokes did most of the work among the finishes here, with Jinho Kim closing out Jason Gavenda by bow and arrow and Marc Botindari catching Stephen Hall with an arm triangle. Different setups, same principle of squeezing the neck once the position was locked.
• ▸ Andre Gomes, Jinho Kim, Marc Botindari, Mike Anderson, and Pedro Henrique Veras each took 1 win at the event and each did it by submission, so every one of their recorded wins on this card was a finish.
