Statistical Breakdown of what works in Submission Only (EBI)

Hey everybody,

First of all I wanna say that EBI (every event so far) has been awesome and I can't wait for the next one, so thanks to Master Eddie and all those involved in its organisation and delivery. I literally struggle to watch any points based format anymore. Being a grappling nerd, I have done a breakdown of what works in EBI so have a read and tell me what you think. It involved countless hours over the last month of watching and rewatching the matches to make sure I got it right but feel free to share your thoughts.

Enjoy :)

Holy crap. THANK YOU!

Just when I start thinking I am a big nerd...

Great stuff and very interesting!

Thanks for your kind words guys :)

Wow, thanks Fabian, that was very interesting!

Really interesting material. Learned a LOT reading it, you've grouped many of these people in places I wouldn't have immediately placed them at first thought. Appreciate you!

Nice.

Damn, Thanks Fabian!

Nice work :)

I'm still reading and great work here! Maybe you covered it but something interesting about nogi sub only is that certain submissions go down because of how the game works. Darragh O'Connail talked about it when he got his north south choke at EBI 3. He's well known for his guillotines and darce chokes as he passes and the other guy turtles up but in sub only there's less turtling during guard passes because the bottom guy doesn't have to worry about getting scored on. So Darragh worked more on the north south choke for that event and it paid off. Same thing with kimuras and far side armbars without the as many turn ins to defend the pass.

When Lloyd Irvin put on the brown belt BJJ Kumite at the end of 2012 (the event that introduced Garry Tonon to the world pretty much) Lloyd puts stats out and people were surprised that 2/3rds of the way through the event there wasn't a single guillotine in 128 no-gi matches. Also you see the money influence come into play because Lloyd gave cash bonuses for RNCs and the stats below show 16 of those. The 3 gi guillotines happened to come from Darragh btw.

These stats aren't 100% accurate because the event wasn't over but I do remember there wasn't a single finished guillotine in no-gi.
