José Tiago Barros

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 30 recorded matches José Tiago Barros holds 18 wins, 11 losses, and 1 draw. That is a solid record built mostly on the scoreboard rather than the finish.
• ▸ Only 4 of his wins came by submission, for a 22 percent submission rate on record. That sits well under the site average of 40 percent, which tells you he tends to grind out decisions rather than hunt the tap.
• ▸ He has beaten both Miyao brothers on record: Joao Miyao at the 2014 IBJJF European Championship, and Paulo Miyao by armbar at the 2015 Brazil National Jiu Jitsu Pro. Taking out that pair in back to back years is no small thing.
• ▸ His recorded matches span from 2014 to 2021, with his busiest run in 2019 when he logged 9 matches. That year also included wins over Gabriel Sousa and Alex Sodré at the IBJJF World Championship.
• ▸ Of his recorded wins, 6 came by points and 1 by advantage. That reliance on positional scoring matches a game that leans on control over risk.
