The rivalry

Isaque Bahiense and Jaime Canuto met 6 times on record, all in the gi, and the ledger is lopsided: Bahiense holds a 5 to 1 edge. Five of those six meetings landed in the semi-finals or later, so this was a rivalry that decided medals rather than early-bracket seeding. Canuto's lone win came first, on points in the quarter-finals of the 2017 IBJJF World Championship. After that, Bahiense won the next five in a row.

Bahiense fights as a middleweight out of Alliance and the Dream Art Project, and his broader record sits at 132 wins against 33 losses for a 78% win rate. Canuto, out of Grappling Fight Team and nicknamed The Armbar Machine, is at 118 wins and 50 losses for a 70% win rate. Their finishing tendencies are close, with Bahiense submitting on 32% of his wins and Canuto on 36%, and Canuto leaning heavily on the Armbar with 25 of his submission wins coming that way.

Most of their meetings came down to close margins rather than clean finishes. Two were decided on points, two on advantages, and only one ended by submission, when Bahiense finished Canuto at the 2019 IBJJF World Championship. The one time it went to a final, at the 2017 Abu Dhabi Grand Slam Tokyo, Bahiense took it on an advantage.
