Marcus Buchecha Becomes Guinness Record Holder For BJJ Golds

January 9, 2019

Marcus Vinicius “Buchecha” Almeida has joined the annals of history alongside superlatives like Oldest Professional Club DJ (his name is DJ Sumirock), Heaviest Strongman Deadlift (Eddie Hall’s 500kg), and This Female Dog Named Geronimo Who Is Incredibly Good At Double Dutch.

Buchecha is listed as the athlete with the most world champion gold medals in jiu-jitsu.

A black belt under Rodrigo Cavaca, Buchecha is the winningest black belt in the sport having beaten Roger Gracie’s record of IBJJF championship wins back in 2016. He currently has 11 world titles on his mantle.

Buchecha became the most medaled champ and Guinness Record holder all before turning 29 (yesterday, January 8th, actually) in case you didn’t already feel like you wasted the best years of your life.

Congratulations Marcus!

Melhor maneira de começar o ano. Receber o Guinness Book em casa e ver o meu nome la como o “Maior recordista de Títulos mundiais do esporte” Impossível agradecer alguém por aqui mas quem fez e faz parte disso tudo sabe a minha gratidão! Muito Obrigado🙏🏻🏆 Obs: No livro veio desatualizado com 10 e não 11 Títulos Mundiais na Faixa Preta. ••••• Best way to start the year. Receive the Guinness Book at home and see my name in there as the “Individual with the most Gold Medals in the sport.” Impossible to say thank you to everyone, but who made and still make part of this knows my gratitude. Thank you all. 🙏🏻🏆 Ps: The book is not update, there is only 10 and not 11 Worlds Titles as Black Belt. @shoyoroll || @rvcasport || @musclepharm || @buchechaonline
