Micael Ferreira Galvão, known as Mica Galvão, is a Brazilian submission grappler and Luta Livre and Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, born on 8 October 2003 in Manaus in the state of Amazonas. Coached by his father Melqui Galvão, he entered his first BJJ competition at the age of four, and he was promoted to black belt in 2021 at 17, less than three years after reaching blue belt. In June 2022, at 18, he won the World Championship as the youngest jiu-jitsu world champion ever, but he tested positive for clomifene, was stripped of the title and was suspended for a year. He also won silver at the 2022 ADCC World Championship, losing the final to Kade Ruotolo.
