Austin, TX (March 12, 2025) – FloSports has extended its partnership with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) sensation Mica Galvão, bringing one of the world’s top grapplers to a minimum of five FloGrappling WNO events and several BJJ Stars and IBJJF events throughout the year. Beyond the competition, Galvão will feature prominently in FloGrappling’s original programming and actively promote and market FloGrappling across his social media channels. He will make his debut at WNO 28 in June exclusively on FloGrappling.
Galvão, at just 21 years old, has rapidly ascended to the pinnacle of BJJ and is the current WNO and BJJ Stars Champion and was voted ‘Male Grappler of the Year’ at The 2024 FloGrappling Awards . He is also one of a few competitors in the world to score a prestigious Super Grand Slam, by securing gold medals at the European Championship, ADCC, Pan Championship, Brazilian Nationals, and World Championship in the middleweight division.
His influence during this time has also grown, with nearly 2 million followers across social, and a reach that extends beyond the Jiu-Jitsu community. FloGrappling will tap into this influence by collaborating with Galvão for exclusive original content and social programming that will provide deeper insights into his training regimen, competition mindset, and the broader world of BJJ. The partnership will also be supported by an extensive marketing campaign.
Galvão commented about the partnership, “I’m excited and grateful for this opportunity to continue growing the sport of Jiu-Jitsu alongside FloGrappling. My fans can expect to see me competing there much more over the next two years in WNO and other events both in the gi and no-gi! Let’s make grappling even bigger!”
Phil Wendler, EVP, Global Rights Acquisition for FloSports, added, “Mica is an exceptional talent and one of the top BJJ competitors in the world. We have built a strong relationship with him and are aligned on goals to both grow his profile, our WNO events, and the sport of jiu-jitsu to more fans across the globe.”
FloSports launched its Who’s Number One franchise in 2020 to provide a unique platform for Jiu-Jitsu athletes and fans. Since that time it has hosted more than 25 events reaching millions of fans across the globe.
