## Bio

Born in the Amazonian municipality of Manacapuru, Rudson Mateus began training at age nine under Nilton Ricardo before relocating to chase the competitive circuit, eventually landing with Vinicius Amaral’s Game-Fight academy where he emerged as a formidable purple belt. A meeting with Caio Terra at the 2015 IBJJF European Open led to a move to San Jose, California, and a place in the Caio Terra Association. Earning his brown belt from Terra that same year, Mateus campaigned aggressively as a brown belt in 2017, winning several major international events before receiving his black belt on July 25, 2017.
