Arley Pacheco Biography

Arley Pacheco was born on March 02, 1999, in the city of Pedra Azul, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Although highly invested in football (soccer) during his childhood, and believing his future would be on the pitch, his neighbor – a local black belt by the name of Roberto Andrade – convinced him to try a jiu-jitsu class in 2012.

After he started grappling, football gradually became less important for the young Mineiro and BJJ became his main sporting focus under the guidance of Andrade, who promoted Arley through his junior and juvenile belts up to the blue belt rank.

As a blue belt, the dream of making of jiu-jitsu a full-time career became clearer to Arley, and with that in mind, he opted to leave his gym in search of a more competitive training environment. He found the environment he was looking for at Cassão Team, Cassio Francis‘ Gracie Barra satellite gym in Minas Gerais, one of the sport’s leading talent producers.

Pacheco earned his purple belt from Francis and later moved to another affiliate of Team GB, Felipe Preguica’s Gold Team a hand-picked group of full-time competitors, sponsored and led by Felipe Pena. Arley earned his brown from Felipe and later, on December 24, 2022, his black belt.
