• ▸ Of Kochel's 14 recorded wins, 13 came by submission, a 93 percent submission finish rate that sits well above the site average of 40 percent. This is a leg lock hunter who finishes fights rather than manages them.
• ▸ The bulk of his submission wins come from below the waist: 5 by straight ankle lock, 2 by heel hook, and 2 by kneebar on record. If you draw him, expect the fight to end at your legs.
• ▸ His recorded losses tell the same story as his wins, just from the other side. 7 of his 13 losses came by submission, which fits a style built around scrambles and finishing exchanges rather than playing it safe on points.
• ▸ Kochel's recorded matches span from 2017 to 2026, and 2026 is his busiest year with 10 matches. That late surge lines up with 11 appearances at 2026 PGF World Season 9.
• ▸ One of his few wins that did not come by submission was a decision over Carlos Souza at 2020 Subversiv 3, notable since only 1 of his 14 recorded wins went to the judges.
