A 3rd-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Master Carlos Gracie Jr., he brings unmatched experience in martial arts — also holding black belts in Luta Livre Esportiva, Aikido, Ruas Vale Tudo, and Muay Thai. He is a 17-time Brazilian wrestling champion, international medalist, and a member of Brazil’s Olympic team at the Rio 2016 Games.
Adrian also made history as the first Brazilian signed by WWE, performing worldwide as Arturo Ruas. Off the mats, he is a man of faith, a devoted husband, and a proud father of three.
