The rivalry

This is a one-sided rivalry on paper. Shane Jamil Hill-Taylor holds all 5 wins in 5 recorded meetings with Thiago Macedo, with no draws. They met across a tight window from 2017 to 2019, all in the gi, and all inside IBJJF competition brackets.

The two wins that stand out came early. At the 2017 World Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF Championship Hill-Taylor closed it out with an Ezekiel Choke in the round of 16, and at the 2017 IBJJF New York Pro Championship he finished with a Gi Choke From Back in the quarter-finals. The later three meetings tightened up considerably. Two were settled on advantages and one on a straight decision, which tells you Macedo made the matches close once he had tape on Hill-Taylor.

The style contrast is real. Hill-Taylor carries an 80% win rate across 70 recorded matches with a 46% submission rate on his wins, so the finishing threat is always live. Macedo sits at 67% over 171 recorded matches with a 14% submission rate on his wins, a higher-volume record built more on points and position than on finishes. In this series that gap showed up early with the two chokes, then narrowed to margins once Macedo adjusted.
