## Bio

A relentless grappler who treated the mats like a second home, Wagner Campos earned the nickname "Galeto" through a grinding work ethic that saw him train seven days a week, often multiple times a day, from the moment he discovered Jiu-Jitsu at 19. He never left the side of his sole coach, Master Gile Ribeiro, who promoted him through every belt from white to black. Campos’s competitive drive extended beyond pure BJJ into MMA, where he debuted with a win over Pedro Seco in 2006. His fighting spirit later earned him a spot on the globally broadcasted The Ultimate Fighter (Brazil) in 2012.
