Mason Fowler leads Devhonte Johnson 2-0 in their two recorded meetings. The first came in the final of the 2021 1st ADCC North American Trial, where Fowler took a points decision in a nogi match. The second came years later at UFC BJJ 9 in a title fight, where Fowler closed the show with a Rear Naked Choke. So the rivalry has covered both a trials bracket and a championship main event, and Fowler has won on the scoreboard and by finish.

The wider records point in different directions. Fowler carries an 84% win rate over 56 recorded matches with a 55% submission rate on his wins, so he tends to hunt the finish. Johnson has 64 wins against 38 losses over 103 recorded matches for a 62% win rate, with a lower 25% submission rate on his wins, which reads as a competitor who wins more often on points and control than by tapping people out.

That difference in finishing tendency lines up with how their two matches ended. When it went to points at the trials, Fowler still came out ahead, and when it was a title fight he found the rear naked choke. Their shared opponents include Vinny Magalhaes and Gutemberg Pereira, both of whom each man has beaten.
