## Bio

Born in Manaus on November 7, 2000, Francisco Lo took up jiu-jitsu around age eleven after being bullied, training under Karen Dias—daughter of Cosmo Dias—from white to blue belt through the juvenile ranks. As a purple belt he shifted focus to competition, then moved to São Paulo at eighteen to train full-time at Cicero Costha’s fighter house on a grappling scholarship. Costha promoted Lo to brown and eventually black belt on May 16, 2022, cementing the Manauara’s place in the PSLPB lineage.
