Biography

Rafaela Ribeiro Guedes was born on 23 May 1992, in Manaus, Brazil.[1] She played handball from the age of 10 until she was forced to stop following an injury at the age of sixteen.[3] After watching her cousin compete, she started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) near her grandmother's house at a neighbourhood's social project before joining Academia Dailson Pinheiro de Jiu-Jitsu in Manaus where she earned her blue belt. At 22 she moved to São Paulo joining Leandro Lo’s New School Brotherhood academy. After moving to San Diego, California to join Atos Academy under André Galvão, Guedes earned her black belt in September 2020.[4]

Grappling career

Guedes attempted to defend her heavyweight title against Nathiely De Jesus at WNO 20: Night of Champions on October 1, 2023.[5] She lost the match by unanimous decision.[6]

Guedes then competed at the IBJJF No-Gi World Championship 2023, where she won a silver medal in the heavyweight division.[7]

Guedes was invited to compete in the over 65kg division at the 2024 ADCC World Championship.[8] She defeated Nia Blackman, Kendall Reusing, and Nathiely De Jesus to win the division.[9] She also entered the women's absolute division where she defeated Bianca Basilio on points and was submitted by Adele Fornarino, finishing fourth after she was unable to compete in the bronze medal match.[10]
