The rivalry

This is a one-sided rivalry on paper. Paulo Miyao holds all 6 wins over Isaac Doederlein across their recorded meetings, with no draws. They met at the highest levels of the sport, including the 2016 IBJJF World Championship semi-finals, and traded gis in every one of those matches.

What stands out is how Miyao won. Five of the 6 were decided on points, and the other came down to a penalty at the 2019 Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship final. None of these were finishes, which fits how these matches played out: close, positional, decided by the referee's table rather than a tap.

The broader records show two different profiles. Miyao carries an 88% win rate over 212 recorded matches with a submission rate of 29% of his wins, while Doederlein sits at 68% over 131 recorded matches with a submission rate of 53% of his wins. Interestingly, both men share the same favorite finish, the Gi Choke From Back, with Miyao landing it 29 times and Doederlein 13 times on record.
