Yara Nascimento

Did you know?

• ▸ Across 22 recorded matches, Yara Nascimento finished 12 of her 18 wins by submission. That 67 percent submission rate sits well above the site average of 40 percent, so when she gets on top of you the match usually ends there.
• ▸ Gabrieli Pessanha has her number. In 5 recorded meetings Nascimento went 1 and 4, with her only win coming on points at the 2021 Continental Pro South America.
• ▸ She is almost entirely a gi competitor on record, with 20 of her matches in the gi and only 2 in nogi. If you are studying her game, the gi footage is where the material is.
• ▸ Her busiest recorded stretch was 2021 with 13 matches, and that year included points wins over Kendall Marie Reusing and Katiuscia Yasmira Dias plus a submission of Claire-France Thévenon at the Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship.
• ▸ Her 4 recorded losses all went the distance rather than getting stopped, 3 on points and 1 on advantage. Nobody in her recorded matches submitted her.
