Did you know?
- Edwin Najmi ran the table to win the Super League tournament, and his path shows how he did it: a darce choke on Bill Cooper in the quarter-final, a decision over Marcelo Mafra in the semis, and an estima lock on John Combs in the final. Of his 3 recorded wins here, 2 came by submission.
- Across 30 recorded matchups, the event split almost evenly between finishes and points, with 13 by submission and 17 by decision. That works out to a 43 percent submission rate, which is honest for a black belt welterweight field.
- The armbar was the most frequent finish on record with 3, ahead of the guillotine choke and generic choke at 2 each. If you want a snapshot of what was landing in this welterweight lineup, it was mostly upper body and armbars.
- John Combs made the final and posted 2 recorded wins, including a quarter-final guillotine over Brian Morizi before running into Najmi. He was one of only two competitors here with more than a single win on record.
- The two guillotine finishes on record came from different corners of the card: John Combs used one to advance in the quarter-final, while Shannon Gugerty landed one on Noah Tillis in a superfight.
