Fellipe Andrew and Kaynan Duarte have met 8 times on record, with Andrew holding a 5 to 3 edge. Most of that history is concentrated in a short window: they crossed paths repeatedly in 2018, again in 2019, and once more at the 2022 IBJJF World Championship. Six of the eight meetings ended by submission or on points in the gi, so this is largely a gi rivalry between two heavyweights of the Art Of Jiu-Jitsu (AOJ) and Atos Jiu-Jitsu Academy eras.

The submissions in these matches point to different games. Andrew closed out Duarte with a Straight Ankle Lock in 2022 and with an Arm Triangle Choke twice in 2018, which fits his broader profile: 61% of his recorded wins come by submission and the arm triangle is his most frequent finish at 25 wins. Duarte's wins over Andrew came by Rear Naked Choke and Arm-In Guillotine. Across his own record, Duarte finishes at a lower rate, 37% of his wins by submission, with the rear naked choke his most common at 9.

What decided the meetings was often the finish rather than the scoreboard, though not always. Five of Andrew's wins in this series were split between three submissions and points decisions, and the 2018 ACBJJ World Open final and the 2018 Copa Podio Heavyweight Grand Prix final both went to points. Their common opponents suggest the two solve different problems well: Andrew is 7-0 against Gustavo Batista where Duarte is 0-4, while Duarte is 5-0 against Victor Hugo where Andrew is 0-7.
