Here is my yearly breakdown of the professional nogi grappling world. What was your favorite event? Were you surprised by the ranking of any of the submissions.

Im curious about the armbar, do you have any statistics on if its from guard/bottom or top position?

Unfortunately I don't. Just from memory, most of them were from the top position. The choi bar is an armbar variation and all of those were from the bottom, but for the normal armbar, top and bottom were mixed together. I'd guess 75% or more were from the top, but I didn't keep stats for that.

I dont follow the sport as much as you do but I watch a couple of events every year. I do feel like submissions from guard and bottom position is very rare nowadays compared to how it was when I started training around 20 years ago.

As your statitics shows the RNC is king, leglocks are hard to define as either top or bottom position, the only option left from bottom would be the armbar among the top submissions. So if its around 75% or more of the armbars came from top I do feel that Im right.

Same evolution we've seen in MMA we now see in no gi.
