Deilson Pimenta

Did you know?

• ▸ Pimenta met Rafael Mendes 4 times on record and lost all 4. If you were competing in the featherweight division in that era, Mendes was the wall almost everyone ran into.
• ▸ Both of his notable recorded wins came at the 2014 World Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF Championship, over Samir Chantre and Andre Monteiro, both on points. That was his busiest showing at a single event with 3 appearances there.
• ▸ Of his 11 recorded gi matches and 1 nogi match, almost his entire recorded body of work is in the gi. His 2 wins by points and 1 by submission suggest a game built around positional control rather than a hunt for the finish.
• ▸ His lone recorded submission win came by armbar, giving him a 33 percent submission win rate against a 40 percent site average. On the other side, 4 of his 9 recorded losses came by submission.
• ▸ His recorded matches span from 2008 to 2019, with the most activity in 2010 at 4 matches. That is a long window to stay in the mix at a high level.
