Lucas Lisboa Biography

Lucas Lisboa was born on August 22, 1995, in Vitória the capital city of the Brazilian state of Espirito Santo.

As a teenager Lisboa played basketball competitively, an activity he kept up until his mother passed away. The shock of losing his parent sent Lucas towards a downward spiral of depression, an ailment his family tried to overcome through the help of psychiatrists and psychologists to no avail.

One day Lucas found his way to a jiu-jitsu academy that existed near his school and training finally felt like the type of therapy he required. Much of this newfound joy in training was attributed to the excellent work of Lisboa’s first coach, Isaque Pereira.

Lisboa competed throughout all belts, locally, but as a purple belt, with 1 year left in his Political Science degree under the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Lucas decided to put his academic life on the back burner and move to São Paulo, Brazil. to train under the guidance of Cicero Costha, one of the most famous instructors in the BJJ world.

While representing the Cicero Costha squad, Lucas Lisboa started traveling the world, competing in the IBJJF global circuit while conquering his brown and black belts from the renowned instructor, the latter of his promotions taking place on October 9, 2020.

During his time with Cicero Costha, Lisboa travelled often back home, to Espirito Santo, where he became a student of Gilvan Junior of team Checkmat in Jardim Camburi. Junior was equally important in Lucas’ development.

During a chat with his former teammate at Cicero Costha’s academy, André Porfirio, Lisboa heard of the many opportunities available at Fight Sports in Miami, Florida, USA. The conversation led Lucas to FS team leader Roberto Abreu (Cyborg) who accepted Lisboa in the team by the end of 2021. He would later leave the team to return to his representation of Cicero.
