Luciano Queiroz de Araujo

Did you know?

• ▸ Isaque Paiva was a tough matchup for Luciano, who lost all 3 of their recorded meetings. When you keep drawing the same opponent and keep coming up short, it usually means a stylistic problem worth studying rather than bad luck.
• ▸ Across 11 recorded matches Luciano has 0 submission wins, for a 0 percent submission win rate. That sits well under the site average of 40 percent, which points to a points and positional game rather than a finishing one.
• ▸ Of his 3 recorded wins, 1 came by points and 2 came by other methods. His losses show the same pattern, with 3 by points and only 1 by submission, so most of his matches were decided on the scoreboard.
• ▸ Luciano's win over Gabriel Marangoni came on points at the 2018 IBJJF Rome Open. That year was his busiest on record with 4 matches, all part of an active run through the IBJJF open circuit in Europe.
• ▸ His recorded matches span from 2011 to 2019 and are almost entirely in the gi, with 10 of 11 being gi bouts. That is a long window of competition rooted firmly in the gi ruleset.
