The rivalry

Pedro Marinho and Roberto Jimenez met 7 times on record, and Marinho holds the edge at 5 wins to 2. All 7 meetings landed at the same stage of a bracket or as a direct matchup, and most came in a tight window between 2019 and 2021. Jimenez took his 2 wins at the 2020 Third Coast Grappling: KUMITE I by Armbar in the gi and at the 2019 Pan IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship final, so the split is not as lopsided as the count suggests.

The styles line up in a way that helps explain the results. Marinho closed two of these matches with the Heel Hook, one at SUG 24 and one at the 2020 JitzKing Middleweights, and added a Rear Naked Choke finish in 2019. Jimenez carries a higher submission rate of his wins at 57% against Marinho's 39%, but in this series it was Marinho who did more of the finishing.

Both men grade out similarly across their recorded careers. Marinho sits at 69% from 89 matches, Jimenez at 67% from 132 matches. The head to head, more than the overall numbers, is where the gap shows.
