Since earning her black belt, the Fratres standout has made waves across major IBJJF events, capturing titles and cementing her place among the elite. Now, by moving to a lighter weight class, she’s adding a new chapter to her already impressive career. With a stacked lightweight lineup already announced, Thalyta’s addition makes the division one of the most anticipated of the event. Tickets are now available at crownibjjf.com.
