Fight to Win 315: Los Angeles

Did you know?

• ▸ Fight to Win 315 in Los Angeles put together 60 recorded matchups across a mixed gi and no-gi card, so there was plenty to study whether you fight with or without the jacket.
• ▸ Of the 60 recorded matchups, 33 ended by decision and 27 by submission, which lines up with a submission rate of 45 percent. If you train here, that is a reminder that most of these bouts came down to who controlled the pace, not who caught the finish.
• ▸ The submissions on record ran to some rare stuff, including an ankle lock, a flying armbar, and a bow and arrow, each appearing 1 time. Not your standard collar choke night.
• ▸ In the main event, Clifton Teshima entered the legs and finished Andres Garcia with an ankle lock off a clean leg entry. A good study for anyone drilling leg entanglements.
• ▸ Isaiah Salas took a submission win over Steve Lucero, one of 27 finishes on the card. It was recorded simply as a submission with no listed technique, so the how is left to the replay.
