Bruno Pucci (born July 23, 1990) is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner who holds a black belt and is best known for winning gold in the featherweight division at the 2009 and 2010 No Gi Grappling World Championships. In total, Pucci has secured podium finishes five times at the World Championship both with Gi and No Gi. He is also a mixed martial artist who is currently signed with ONE Championship.[5]

Background

As a child Pucci had growth problems and needed hormone replacement because he was always short and weak. The treatment made him overweight and he wanted to take up a sport and chose Brazilian jiu-jitsu, eventually becoming a BJJ black belt under Sebastian Lalli at Checkmat in Brazil.[6]

Pucci made his MMA debut on October 15, 2011 and submitted Raoni Tavares in the opening round at Adventure Fighters Tournament in Paraná. His next fight was on October 20, 2012, and he submitted Fernando Cabral in the opening round at Empire FC in Paraná.
