Yan Paiva

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 27 recorded matches Yan Paiva has 21 wins against 6 losses, with no draws. That is a heavy positive record built almost entirely against high-level competition.
• ▸ Paiva wins on the scoreboard more than anywhere else. Of his recorded wins, 11 came by points and 6 by decision, which tells you he is comfortable controlling a match to the final buzzer.
• ▸ His submission win rate sits at 10 percent, well under the site average of 40 percent. Only 2 of his recorded wins ended in a finish, so he is not chasing taps to get his hand raised.
• ▸ Paiva is almost purely a gi competitor on record, with 25 of his matches in the gi and only 1 in no-gi. His busiest stretch was 2020, when he logged 6 matches.
• ▸ The Abu Dhabi Grand Slam has been Paiva's main stage, and the 2020 Rio de Janeiro edition alone accounts for 6 recorded appearances. That is where he beat Mauricio Oliveira by decision and Matheus Costa on points.
