Michael Sainz

Did you know?

• ▸ Sainz sits at 6 wins and 4 losses across 10 recorded matches, so a little better than even against the fields he has faced.
• ▸ His 6 recorded wins split evenly across methods with 2 by decision, 2 on points, and 2 by submission, which points to a well-rounded game rather than one path to victory.
• ▸ His submission win rate on record is 33 percent, sitting just under the site average of 40 percent.
• ▸ Both of his 2 recorded submission wins came from different attacks, 1 armbar and 1 straight ankle lock, so he threatens both ends of the body.
• ▸ Sainz has stayed on the ADCC trials circuit, appearing 3 times at the 2025 ADCC North American East Coast Trials and 3 times at the 2026 ADCC North American West Coast Trials, where he beat Max Hanson by decision.
