The rivalry

This is a lopsided rivalry on record. Alexis Alduncin and Joao Miyao met 8 times, and Miyao won all 8. The two share the same weight, both listed at 64,00 kg, so these were always same-division meetings between fighters from Renzo Gracie Mexico and Studio 1908. Their first two recorded meetings came in 2016 at the 2016 Austin International Open IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championships and the 2016 IBJJF Austin No-Gi International Open, and the series ran through 2019.

The way Miyao won tells you about the gap. Most of the 8 came on points, but he also finished Alduncin twice: a Gi Choke From Back in the semi-finals at the 2017 Abu Dhabi Grand Slam Los Angeles, and an Armbar in the final of the 2018 Pan Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF No-Gi Championship. Several of these were bracket-deciding matches, with wins in finals and semi-finals across both gi and no-gi.

The broader numbers line up with the head-to-head. Miyao holds an 89% win rate across 234 recorded matches with a 48% submission rate on his wins, while Alduncin sits at 40% across 55 recorded matches with a 23% submission rate on his wins. Common opponents point the same direction: against Suraj Budhram, Alduncin is 0-2 while Miyao is 4-0, and against Wellington Lima, Alduncin is 0-1 while Miyao is 3-0.
