• ▸ Across 46 recorded matches, Carlos Alberto Oliveira da Silva sits at 27 wins and 19 losses, with no draws. That is a grinder's record built on going the distance rather than finishing early.
• ▸ Only 3 of his wins came by submission, an 11 percent submission win rate against a site average of 40 percent. Of those finishes, one came by heel hook and one by toe hold, so when he does close the show it tends to be at the legs.
• ▸ He met Lucas Pinheiro 3 times on record and lost all 3. That is the kind of stylistic matchup that follows you around a bracket.
• ▸ The series with Cleber Sousa ran 3 meetings, and Silva came out 1 and 2. He got his win back at the 2022 World IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship by decision.
• ▸ His recorded matches span 2018 to 2023, with 2019 as the busiest year at 21 matches. He was clearly stacking the calendar hard that season, including a points win over Gabriel Sousa at the 2019 IBJJF San Jose Open.
