Suraj Budhram

Did you know?

• ▸ Suraj Budhram has 7 recorded meetings with Lucas Pinheiro and lost all 7. That is the kind of matchup that teaches you exactly where your holes are, whether you want the lesson or not.
• ▸ Of Budhram's 33 recorded losses, 18 came by submission. He was clearly stepping in against people who could finish, and the tap count reflects that.
• ▸ His one recorded submission win came by guillotine choke against Anthony Birchak at Fight to Win 161 in 2021. His submission win rate sits at 11 percent, against a site average of 40 percent, so the finish was the exception rather than his usual path.
• ▸ Budhram's recorded matches span from 2016 to 2023, with his busiest year in 2019 at 15 matches. That is a heavy competition load packed into a single year.
• ▸ He competed slightly more often in the gi than without it, with 25 gi matches to 17 no-gi on record. His notable no-gi win over Taniel de Jesus came at the 2019 Pan IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship, an event he appeared at 3 times.
