Orlando Castillo

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 37 recorded matches, Castillo went 9-28. That is a tough stretch on paper, and the record splits evenly between disciplines with 17 gi and 17 no-gi bouts.
• ▸ Only 1 of his 9 recorded wins came by submission, an 11 percent submission win rate. For context, the site average sits at 40 percent, so most of his wins came from other paths.
• ▸ When Castillo won without a submission, he did it by grinding: 3 wins by Decision and 3 by Points, plus 1 each by Advantages and Other.
• ▸ One of his cleaner results was over Emilio Hernandez on points at the 2020 IBJJF Foley Open. He was submission-hunting there too, with an Ezekiel Choke on his record from that period.
• ▸ His recorded matches run from 2019 to 2021, with 2020 by far his busiest at 15 matches. Wins over Raphael Cadena and Ricky Semiglia came in that 2020 to 2021 window.
