The rivalry

Gianni Grippo and Paulo Miyao met 8 times on record, all of them finals, and Miyao holds the edge at 5 to 3. The split falls along a clear timeline. Miyao took all 4 of their 2015 meetings, then Grippo answered by winning 3 straight in 2018 before Miyao closed that year out with a win at the 2018 Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship.

None of these 8 matches ended by submission. Every result came down to scoring, with 5 decided on points and 3 on advantages. That tells you these were close, grip-heavy, position-driven finals rather than hunts for a finish, which fits two competitors from the guard-heavy modern generation.

Across their recorded careers the two grade out similarly in style but differently in efficiency. Grippo sits at a 72% win rate over 308 matches, Miyao at 86% over 228. Both list the Gi Choke From Back as their most frequent finish, Grippo with 14 wins that way and Miyao with 24, so the head-to-head going the distance every time is notable given both can attack the back.
