At only 17 years old Thalison Soares of Brazil has been turning heads in jiu-jitsu competitions such as the IBJJF Worlds and European Championships, where he won gold in the blue belt juvenile 2 light featherweight categories.

Soares hails from Manuas in Northern Brazil and moved to Sao Paulo in January 2015 to train at the famous PSLPB Cicero Costha gym. Due to both his resemblance to the famous Miyao brothers and his berimbolo-heavy game, Soares has been given the nickname 'Little Miyao'.
