AJ Agazarm (born July 26, 1990) is an American Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and professional mixed martial arts fighter.

Early life and education

Agazarm was born in Florida and is of Armenian descent.[1] He began wrestling as a sophomore in high school.[2] He performed well enough in high school to win a wrestling scholarship to University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Kentucky from 2005-2007.[3] Agazarm then transferred to Ohio State, a highly ranked NCAA Division I wrestling program.[4]

Grappling career

Agazarm was awarded his black belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu in 2013 by Eduardo de Lima and Carlos Gracie Jr.[5] That same year Agazarm got third place at the Pan Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship in the black belt open-weight division and first in the lightweight division.[6] Later in 2013 at the World Nogi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championship Agazarm placed third in the under 73.5 kg black belt division.[7] In 2017, Agazarm won a silver medal at the ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship in the under 66 kg weight class[8] and another silver at the World Nogi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championship in the lightweight division.[9] From 2015-2018 Agazarm participated in six Polaris Pro Grappling events.
