Background

Lucas Daniel Barbosa was born on February 13, 1992 in Boa Vista, Roraima, Brazil.[3] He took up martial arts at the age of 10, starting with Taekwondo then Judo and Muay Thai.[1] At 15 Barbosa began Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) under various coaches from Diego Lopes to Cristiano Carioca and André Galvão.[4] After being promoted to purple belt, Barbosa moved to Rio to train at Márcio Rodrigues's academy, receiving the nickname "Hulk" from his training partners.[4]

Martial arts career

Grappling career

Barbosa was awarded his Brown Belt in BJJ by Fabiano and Márcio Rodrigues.[1][3] It was at Brown Belt that Barbosa's grappling career took off.[1][3] In 2014, he was involved with "THE TEAM" in 2014, a web series developed by Copa Podio, a sports league that showed BJJ competitions on television.[1][3] Barbosa's strong performance earned him a spot later that year at the competition's main which was on Pay-per-view.[1][3]

In 2015, Barbosa won the World IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship and Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship as a Brown Belt.[5] As a result, Fabiano awarded Barbosa his Black Belt in BJJ.[1][3][5]

Shortly afterwards, Barbosa moved to San Diego, California to join Atos Jiu-Jitsu under André Galvão.[1][3][5]

Since moving to Atos Jiu-Jitsu, Barbosa has won most major BJJ tournaments at Black Belt level including the World Championship and the World No-GI Championship.[1][3][5][6][7] He also is a multiple-time medalist at the ADCC World Championship.[1][3][5][6][7]
