Tainan Dalpra did his homework! At the 2026 Brasileiro middleweight final, Tainan hit a toe hold submission almost identical to the one Leandro Lo used in the 2017 Pan Championship open class final.
This technique takes incredible timing, precision, and just enough misdirection to keep your opponent distracted before attacking the submission. A masterful display of strategy and execution from both champions, with IBJJF major gold on the line.
