The most accomplished American blackbelt, Rafael Lovato Jr. burst onto the blackbelt scene in 2007 when he became one of the first non-Brazilians to win a World Championship. Almost ten years later Lovato Jr is still one of the most dominant competitors the sport of jiu-jitsu has. Having refocused his career on super fights and an MMA title run the American blackbelt is showing no signs of slowing down.
