Lucas Lepri

Lucas is one of the most accomplished and decorated jiu jitsu athletes in the world. He is a 9-time black belt World Champion and has won every major jiu jitsu tournament in the world, a feat accomplished by only a handful of athletes in history. His black belt competition record began in 2007 with him winning the World Championships. In 2016, he won his 6th World title in a performance the media called “flawless”.  In 2014, he won every major tournament he entered, including winning the World title again in what many call the most dominant performance of the 2014 World Championship tournament.
