On record, Mica Galvao and Tainan Dalpra have met once, and Galvao took it. That single meeting came in 2021 at the 2021 EUG Promotions Event #2, in the semi-finals, decided on points in the gi. It is a thin sample, so read it as one data point rather than a settled rivalry.

The individual bodies of work are what make this pairing interesting. Galvao, out of Melqui Galvão Jiu-Jitsu, sits at 62 wins, 5 losses, and 6 draws across 73 recorded matches, an 85% win rate, with 65% of his wins by submission and the Armbar his most common finish at 9. Dalpra, representing Art Of Jiu-Jitsu Academy, shows 94 wins against a single loss over 95 recorded matches, a 99% win rate, with 67% of his wins by submission and the Gi Choke From Back his signature at 18 wins.

They also share a long list of common opponents. Against Lucas Protásio, Pedro Maia, Roberto Jimenez, and Elijah Dorsey, Galvao holds 1-0 records while Dalpra holds 2-0. Against Jonnatas Gracie, Galvao is 2-0 and Dalpra 1-0. The one blemish worth noting is Mauricio Oliveira, where Galvao is 1-1 and Dalpra is 1-0.
