Combat Sports

Marcus Vinicius Oliveira de Almeida, known as Buchecha, is a Brazilian grappler, 4th-degree jiu-jitsu black belt and mixed martial artist from Santos, Sao Paulo. He started training at fourteen after his sister took up the art, and his father Clayton also became a black belt. He earned his black belt under Rodrigo Cavaca, who gave him the nickname Buchecha, meaning cheek, and he competes for the Checkmat team. The article describes him as a multiple-time world jiu-jitsu and ADCC submission fighting champion and a member of the IBJJF Hall of Fame, widely considered one of the greatest BJJ competitors of all time. He moved into mixed martial arts in 2020, first with ONE Championship and later with the Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight division.
