The rivalry
Gabriel Marangoni and Isaque Paiva met 7 times on record, all in the gi, and the series is about as close as it gets. Marangoni holds a 4 to 3 edge, with no draws. Both are featherweights out of Brazil, and their overall numbers mirror each other closely: Marangoni sits at 80 wins and 37 losses for a 68% win rate, Paiva at 68 wins and 33 losses for 67%. Both finish half their wins by submission.
The pattern of their meetings tells you how the styles clashed. Every one of Marangoni's 4 wins came either on points or by a submission in scramble range, including a Straight Ankle Lock at the 2016 IBJJF World Championship. Paiva's 3 wins all came by finish: two by Gi Choke From Back and one by Triangle Choke. So when it went to the scoreboard, Marangoni tended to control it. When Paiva got the back or an angle, he closed the show.
Most of the rivalry was packed into a short window. Four of the 7 matches happened in 2016 alone, and they split those two apiece. That stretch, plus meetings in 2014 and 2015, gave them a real read on each other, which fits how tight the results stayed.
