1990

Marcus Vinícius Oliveira de Almeida, also known as Buchecha (born January 8, 1990) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist and 2nd-degree black belt Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) practitioner.

A multiple-time World jiu-jitsu and ADCC submission fighting champion, Buchecha is a member of the IBJJF Hall of Fame and widely considered as one of the greatest Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitors of all time.

2020

In 2020 he announced his transition to mixed martial art, he currently competes in the Heavyweight division of ONE Championship.

Almeida was born and grew up in Santos, São Paulo.

His sister started training Brazilian jiu-jitsu when Marcus was 14 years old, forcing him to come along to the gym so their father Clayton could keep an eye on her.

Subsequently, Marcus and Clayton started training jiu-jitsu also, leading both to become black belts and the latter winning IBJJF Masters World Championship.

Almeida is a black belt under Rodrigo Cavaca, who gave Almeida his nickname Buchecha, which means cheek and is a reference to him having chubby cheeks when he was overweight.

Almeida competes under the Checkmat team.

Despite talking about transitioning to mixed martial arts since 2015, news surfaced four years later on July 30, 2020, that Almeida had signed a multi-year contract with ONE Championship.

He has been training mixed martial arts at the American Kickboxing Academy and has competed in the heavyweight division.
