## Bio

A ronin-style grappler from Buenos Aires, Pablo Lavaselli built his game largely outside traditional academy walls, training on mats he installed at his own home and inviting partners from various gyms. His path to black belt was overseen by Eduardo Duarte and Miguel Alderete of Nova União, with Duarte promoting him on August 3, 2019. Lavaselli’s competitive breakthrough came after relocating to Orlando in early 2020 at the invitation of Andre Porfirio, supported by the “Agora” project, where he earned strong results on the IBJJF circuit.
