The rivalry

On record, Felipe Pena holds a clean 5-0 lead over Adam Wardzinski. The meetings span 2017 and 2018, spread across events like the 2017 Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship, the 2018 World IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship, and the 2017 Berkut Heavyweight Grand Prix. Four of the five went to the scoreboard, so this was rarely settled in a single exchange.

The one finish came in the 2017 Abu Dhabi World Pro final, where Pena closed the match with a Gi Choke From Back, which is also his most recorded submission at 24 wins. The rest were decided on points, including both of their 2018 meetings and the two semi-final clashes in 2017. Wardzinski's game is built around the butterfly guard and traditional positions, while Pena's back attacks defined the only stoppage between them.

Both are elite in their own right. Wardzinski owns a 77% win rate over 221 recorded matches with 170 wins, and Pena sits at 83% over 176 recorded matches with 146 wins. The gap in this specific rivalry does not reflect a gap in overall resumes, but Pena had Wardzinski's number every time they met.
