Hiago George holds a 3 to 2 edge over Diego “Pato” Oliveira Batista across 5 recorded meetings, all of them in Abu Dhabi promotions between 2019 and 2021. This was a close series with no draws, and it ran through finals, a semi-final, and a round robin, so both men saw each other at the sharp end of brackets more than once.

How the wins came is worth noting. Three of the five went to Hiago, and his path was varied: he took points in a final at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Slam Abu Dhabi, won by DQ in the 2020 AJP Tour Abu Dhabi National Pro final, and closed out the 2020 Abu Dhabi Grand Slam Abu Dhabi final by Submission. Pato's two wins came by points in a round robin at the 2020 Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship and by submission in the semi-finals of the 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Slam Rio De Janeiro. So each man finished the other at least once, and each also won on the scoreboard.

On the broader record, Pato sits at 76 wins and 15 losses for an 84% win rate, while Hiago is 157 and 42 for 79%. Their finishing tendencies are similar, with 42% of Pato's wins by submission and 39% of Hiago's. Common opponents split the difference: Pato is 5-1 against Gabriel Sousa where Hiago is 2-5, but Hiago is 4-1 against Cleber Sousa where Pato is 1-0.
