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]
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. In 2020 he announced his transition to mixed martial art, he currently competes in the Heavyweight division of ONE Championship.
Early life
[edit]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.[4] Subsequently, Marcus and Clayton started training jiu-jitsu also, leading both to become black belts and the latter winning IBJJF Masters World Championship.[5] 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.[6] Almeida competes under the Checkmat team.[7]
Mixed martial arts career
[edit]ONE Championship
[edit]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.[8][9] He has been training mixed martial arts at the American Kickboxing Academy and has competed in the heavyweight division.[9]
In August 2020, Almeida had to withdraw from an upcoming BJJ match with Fabrício Werdum due to a knee injury that has also delayed his MMA debut for ONE FC.[10] Almeida was scheduled to make his MMA debut against Oumar Kane at ONE Championship.[11] Unfortunately, Almeida was removed from the card and replaced with Alain Ngalani on 13th January, 2021, reportedly due to suffering an injury in training.[12] After recovering from his injury, he was booked to make his MMA debut against Kang Ji-Won at ONE on TNT 1.[13] Kang later withdrew from the bout for undisclosed reasons.[14]
Almeida was scheduled to face Thomas Narmo at ONE Championship: Revolution on September 24, 2021.[15] Narmo later withdrew for undisclosed reasons, and was replaced by Anderson “Braddock” Silva.[16] He won the bout in the first round via north-south choke.[17]
Almeida faced Kang Ji Won at ONE: Winter Warriors on December 3, 2021.[18] He won the bout via rear-naked choke in the first round.[19]
Almeida was scheduled to face Oumar "Reug Reug" Kane on April 22, 2022 at ONE 156.[20] However, the week of the event, it was announced that the bout would be moved to May 20.[21] Yet, Kane withdrew from the bout citing injury and was replaced by Hugo Cunha who in turn tested positive for COVID-19 and the bout was scrapped.[22][23] Almeida was later rescheduled to face Simon Carson at ONE 158 on June 3, 2022.[24] He won the fight by a first-round technical knockout, stopping Carson with ground and pound midway through the opening round.[25]
Almeida faced Kirill Grishenko at ONE on Prime Video 1 on August 27, 2022.[26] He won the bout early in the first round after submmiting Kirill with a heel hook.[27] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[28]
Almeida faced Oumar Kane on August 5, 2023, at ONE Fight Night 13.[29][30] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[31]
A biopic entitled Buchecha: Far Beyond World Records is expected to be released in 2023.[32]
