• ▸ Suraj Budhram met Lucas Pinheiro 7 times on record and lost all 7. When a matchup goes that way, it usually means a stylistic problem worth studying rather than a fluke.
• ▸ He also faced Joao Miyao 4 times on record, dropping all 4. Facing the Miyao guard game repeatedly is a hard assignment for anyone.
• ▸ His one recorded submission win came by Arm-In Guillotine, against Anthony Birchak at Fight to Win 161 in 2021. That is a front headlock finish that rewards good grip and angle rather than size.
• ▸ Of Budhram's 34 recorded losses, 19 came by submission. That is a good chunk of tap losses to sit with, and it points to defensive scrambles as the area with the most to gain.
• ▸ His recorded matches span from 2016 to 2023, with 2019 as his busiest year at 16 matches. That is a heavy competition load packed into a single season.
