The rivalry

Gabrieli Pessanha and Tayane Porfirio have met 11 times on record, with Pessanha holding an 8 to 3 edge. The first meeting came in 2021 and the pace picked up sharply in 2025, when the two crossed paths across gi, no-gi, and event formats multiple times in the same year. Porfirio's three wins all came by points, so when she has taken this matchup it has been on the scoreboard rather than by finish.

The styles split cleanly. Pessanha's recorded finish rate sits at 51% of her wins, and against Porfirio she has closed matches with a Gi Choke From Back, a Collar Choke, and other submissions. Porfirio, a super-heavyweight out of Gracie Barra, carries a 33% submission rate across her wins on record and has leaned on positional and points-based grappling in this series. That difference in closing method is a big part of why the head-to-head has tilted the way it has.

Both are top-level competitors overall, with Pessanha at a 95% win rate across 157 recorded matches and Porfirio at 80% across 50. The finals stakes tell the story of the rivalry: several of their meetings came in title matches and championship finals, including the 2026 2026 IBJJF World Championship final, which Pessanha took on points.
