Gabrielle "Gabi" Lemos Garcia is a Brazilian Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) practitioner, grappling world champion, and member of the IBJJF Hall of Fame.
Jiu Jitsu and grappling
Garcia trains in São Paulo with Fabio Gurgel, at the Alliance team, where she has achieved two Abu Dhabi Combat Club championships and nine world Brazilian jiu-jitsu championships.
Garcia's results from the 2013 IBJJF World Jiu-Jitsu Championships (IBJJF) were automatically disqualified when she tested positive for the fertility drug Clomiphene, which is on the USADA banned list. After a case review, Garcia was found to have not been at fault for the positive test - no suspension was given.[1]
Mixed martial arts
Garcia appeared as a guest coach for Wanderlei Silva on The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3.
Garcia was at one point scheduled to face Megumi Yabushita for the Japanese promotion Real Fight Championship. This bout, however, fell through.[2]
Garcia was then scheduled to make her MMA debut with Jungle Fight in March 2015.[3] However, this bout also didn't happen.
On November 6, 2015, it was announced during Bellator 145 that Garcia would face Lei'D Tapa for Rizin Fighting Federation on December 31, 2015.[4] She won the fight via TKO in the first round.
