Mayssa Bastos leads Brenda Larissa 4 to 2 across 6 recorded meetings, all in the gi. Both women compete at the top of the rooster-weight class, and their matches have been decided by margins rather than finishes. Five of the six went to points, decision, or advantage, and the one recorded submission attempt was the Gi Choke From Back Bastos used to close out their semi-final at the 2021 IBJJF World Championship.

The overall records tell a wider story. Bastos sits at 106 wins and 16 losses on record for an 87% win rate, finishing 44% of her wins by submission. Larissa is at 27 wins and 16 losses for a 63% win rate, with 22% of her wins by submission. That gap in finishing rate shows up in the rivalry, where Bastos has been the one to take the higher-value positions while Larissa has had to grind for points.

Larissa's two wins both came in 2021, one at the World Pro and one at the 2020 Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship, both on points. Bastos took the two most recent meetings, the finals of the 2022 IBJJF World Championship and the 2023 IBJJF European Championship, both on points as well. The pattern is close, gi-based matches where position and scoring have decided things more than any single technique.
