Leandro Lo holds a 3 to 2 edge over Augusto Tanquinho Mendes across 5 recorded meetings. All 5 went to the judges on points, so nothing between these two was ever settled by submission. They crossed paths early and often, with two matches in 2011, one in 2012, and two in 2013, spanning gi and nogi and covering everything from a Round of 16 up to a tournament final.

The records point to two different competitors. Lo built his career in the gi as a points and pressure specialist across multiple weight classes, sitting on an 84% win rate over 296 recorded matches with a Cross Collar Choke as his most frequent finish at 15 wins. Mendes carries a 65% win rate over 78 recorded matches, with a lower submission rate of wins at 18% and an Armbar as his top finish. Notably, Mendes got both of his wins in this series at the lighter, earlier-stage meetings, including the one nogi match at the 2012 World Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi IBJJF Championships.

Lo took the two 2013 meetings, the 2013 Arizona Open final and the 2013 Copa Podio Heavyweight GP matchup, both on points. The common opponents tell their own story: against shared names like Lucas Lepri and Michael Langhi, Lo posted winning records where Mendes did not.
