## Bio

Enderson Dias ("Varão"), a GF Team black belt promoted by Vinicius Marinho in January 2022, emerged from Rio de Janeiro's Engenho Novo area after a late start in jiu-jitsu at 17, following an initial background in Muay Thai under his father. His competitive trajectory sharpened quickly: a silver medal at the Brazilian Nationals as a white belt in 2016, then consecutive silver medals at both the World and Pan Championships during his eventful 2021 brown belt campaign. Dias also trained closely with Melqui Galvão in Manaus after Marinho relocated abroad, cementing a grind-heavy, full-time approach to the sport.
