## Bio

A juvenile blue belt who talked his father into letting him train, Fernando Reis traded judo for jiu-jitsu at 13 under Tiago Rocha before migrating to São Paulo to train at Alliance headquarters. Known for a pressure-heavy top game built around tight guard passing and relentless back takes, he earned his black belt from Fábio Gurgel in June 2016 after stacking South American and Brazilian titles as a brown belt alongside a World Championship runner-up finish. His competitive peak includes notable wins over Todd Mueckenheim and Djalma Spindola.
