About LARISSA DIAS

Larissa Dias is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt known for her pressure, control, and ability to perform at the highest level of the sport.

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Larissa didn’t start as a natural athlete. At 17, she stepped onto the mats looking to change her lifestyle — a decision that would quickly turn into a professional career. (BJJ Heroes)

Training under Vinícius Marinho and later developing alongside elite teams like Dream Art and Melqui Galvão’s squad, she built her game through discipline, repetition, and constant competition. (BJJ Heroes)

Her rise through the ranks was defined by dominance. As a colored belt, she captured major IBJJF titles including World, Pan, and South American championships — establishing herself early as one of the top prospects in the sport. (BJJ Heroes)

That momentum carried into black belt.

In 2022, Larissa reached the top of the sport, winning the IBJJF World Championship. She followed it up with continued success at the highest level, including Pan Championship titles and multiple podium finishes at the world stage. (BJJ Heroes)

Her style reflects her journey — controlled, disciplined, and built on pressure.

No wasted movement. No shortcuts.

As a Bighorn athlete, Larissa represents what it means to perform when the level is highest and the margins are smallest.
