There are few athletes in jiu-jitsu who can claim to be black belt open class World Champions. Nathiely de Jesus has won not one, but two black belt open class gold medals. With a total of four World titles, three World No-Gi titles, two European titles, and a Pan title, Nathiely has cemented herself as one of the best competitors of her generation. Now, Nathiely is ready to make waves once again as she joins The IBJJF Crown super heavyweight division in an attempt to win the inaugural edition of the event. After winning double gold at the 2019 World Championships, Nathiely became a mother and took a break from competition. She made her return in 2023 and thus far has looked better than ever. At the IBJJF Female Heavyweight Grand Prix back in March, Nathiely defeated World Champions Andressa Cintra and Ana Vieira to take home the GP title. Known for having an impassable guard, Nathiely is a very difficult opponent to gameplan for and compete against. Will Nathiely’s experience and her guard earn her the female super heavyweight Crown?
