Anderson Kaua

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 25 recorded matches, Anderson Kaua sits at 9 wins and 16 losses. His submission win rate of 33 percent is a bit under the site average of 40 percent, so most of his finishing threats have to earn their way in.
• ▸ Kaua has met Erich Munis 3 times on record and lost all 3. That is a matchup problem worth studying if you want to understand where his game gets stalled.
• ▸ Kaua's recorded work leans no-gi, with 13 no-gi matches against 7 in the gi. His rear naked choke shows up most among his finishes with 2 wins, which fits a no-gi heavy schedule.
• ▸ His busiest recorded year was 2025 with 13 matches. That includes a rear naked choke over Mansur Makhmakhanov at the 2025 IBJJF Pan No-Gi Championship and a points win over Vinicius Magalhaes at the 2025 IBJJF World No-Gi Championship.
• ▸ Of Kaua's 16 recorded losses, 5 came by submission and 4 by decision, so a solid chunk of his defeats are close ones on the scorecards rather than getting tapped.
