Lucas Lepri and Roberto Satoshi met 5 times on record, with Lepri holding a 3 to 2 edge. The interesting split is chronological. Satoshi took both meetings in 2012, winning finals at the 2012 Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship and the 2012 World Professional Jiu Jitsu Cup, both on points. Lepri then won the next three, including the semi-finals at the 2014 IBJJF World Championship and the final at the 2017 IBJJF World Championship.

Method tells you how close these were. Four of the five meetings were decided on points, and the fifth ended by injury in the 2017 final. Neither man submitted the other across their recorded meetings, which fits two lightweights who both compete at a high technical level. Lepri sits at 107 wins and 33 losses on record for a 76% win rate, with 40% of his wins by submission. Satoshi carries 49 wins and 16 losses for a 73% win rate, with a higher 53% submission rate among his wins.

Their finishing preferences differ where it matters. Lepri's most frequent recorded finish is the Gi Choke From Back with 10 wins, while Satoshi favors the Bow And Arrow with 5 wins. In this rivalry neither of those came into play, since the deciding factor was almost always the scoreboard.
