Paulo Henrique Bordignon Miyao is a Brazilian BJJ black belt with a notable competitive record. He and his brother João are particularly known for their competitive rivalry with Keenan Cornelius. After suffering a number of defeats to Cornelius in 2012, Paulo would go on to defeat Keenan at the 2013 World Jiu-Jitsu Championship in the brown belt absolute division, a remarkable feat for his given weight-class.[3][14][15] Paulo trains under Cicero Costha alongside his brother João and world champion, Leandro Lo.
Black belt career
In 2012, Paulo won his first black belt tournament while still a brown belt at the ADCC tryouts in Natal, Brazil. He and his brother were promoted to black belt on June 25, 2013.[16][17]
Paulo was invited to a submission-only, no-gi, super-fight match against UFC veteran Jon Fitch at the 2013 World Jiu-Jitsu Expo. Although Paulo was able to keep Fitch on the defensive for the majority of the 20-minute round, the match ended in a draw.[18]
