2026 Jits Pro League 2: Spring Team Qualifier

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 32 recorded matchups at this qualifier, 27 ended by submission. That is an 84 percent submission rate, which tells you these teams came to finish rather than ride out decisions.
• ▸ Only 4 of the recorded matches went to a decision. Given the scoring here rewarded 3 points for a submission and just 1 for a decision, the incentive to hunt the finish was baked into the format.
• ▸ The rear naked choke was the most common finish with 6, followed by the heel hook with 4. The choke and the leg attack sitting side by side near the top says a lot about how well-rounded the field was.
• ▸ Leg attacks showed up all over the results, with 4 heel hooks, 3 ankle-locks, and 1 kneebar on record. Ollie Cooke used both ends of that spectrum, finishing Lewis Hiles with an ankle-lock and Martin Evans with a kneebar.
• ▸ Lloyd Shankland took a win by Mikey Lock over Conor Yeates but later fell to Laurie Scott by rear naked choke. That is the kind of two-sided day the round-robin format produces, where every competitor faces all three of their opposite numbers.
