The rivalry

This is a heavyweight rivalry that ran across six recorded meetings, all in the gi, and it favored one man. Victor Honorio holds a 4-2 edge over Erberth Santos in their head to head. Their first meeting came at the 2015 Copa Podio Heavyweight Grand Prix semi-finals, and Honorio took it on points. Santos got his two wins at the 2017 and 2018 Brazilian National Jiu-Jitsu Championship semi-finals, both on points.

The results tell you these were close, decision-based matches more often than not. Four of the six were decided on points, one on a decision, and one by DQ at the Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship 2016. Only the ACB JJ 11 meeting saw a submission attempt noted, a Toe Hold in a bout Honorio won by decision. Nobody was finished in this series.

The two bring different finishing profiles overall. Santos wins 81% of his recorded matches with a submission rate of 49% of his wins, and his go-to is the Gi Choke From Back with 13 wins. Honorio wins 78% of his recorded matches but finishes far less, with a submission rate of 20% of his wins, leaning on the Lapel Choke for 6 of them. Against this specific opponent, though, neither man's submission game came into play.
