Rafael Lovato faced Kayron Gracie in the first-ever Metamoris event in 2012. This was one of the most memorable matches for both players. At the start of the match, Rafael applied pulling guard and took down Kayron.

Rafael tried to control both of his legs to prevent full guard. But Kayron Gracie took down Rafael by pulling his Gi from his legs and secured the top position. This was an incredible sweep from Kayron Gracie.

Lovato tried to create distance by using his legs and tried an inverted guard. Kayron side-mounted Rafael but Rafael pulled him down by strangling his legs. Kayron looked helpless. Rafael gained the top position and his body weight pressure did not let Kayron Gracie's inverted guard to work.

Rafael took the top position, turned Kayron into a turtle position, gained control of his back, and applied a triangle. And then this triangle changed into full guard. These all moves in a single minute were fascinating but Kayron’s way of surviving the technique was also a feast for the eyes.

At the end of the match, Rafael took down Kayron. Kayron tried to keep distance by using his legs. Rafael did not let him sweep any guard and had complete control. He submitted Kayron Gracie with Kimura. After this match, Rafael Lovato Jr. achieved the submission of the night award.
