Amy Campo

Promoted to black belt on the 2021 IBJJF Worlds podium, Utah's Amy Campo won the ADCC +60 kg title nine months later after trailing 0-2 in the final.

Biography

Amy Campo is an American grappler from Utah. She was promoted to black belt on the podium of the 2021 IBJJF World Championship, and nine months later she won the women's +60 kg division at the ADCC World Championship in Las Vegas, coming back from 0-2 down in the final. In 2023 she won the medium-heavy division at the IBJJF World Championship, a result that, as the IBJJF noted, made her a world champion both in the gi, the traditional uniform, and in no-gi. She and Elisabeth Clay have met again and again as they moved up the belts, and FloGrappling called Clay her most noteworthy rival. According to Wikipedia, she was thirteen when she started training in kickboxing, MMA and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The same article names Eduardo Mori as her coach, at the academy he runs in Ogden, Utah, and lists her as a black belt under him. The academy's website presents Mori as a Brazilian-born fourth-degree black belt who teaches jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing and MMA. In a February 2022 interview with BJJ Heroes, Campo said that Mori, whom she calls Eddy, and his wife, Rachel, were her mentors on the mats and off them; they encouraged her to compete and helped get her to the Pan Ams, the American Nationals and the Worlds. The academy's news page counts a win by Team Zenith, led by Robert Drysdale, among its own results. Zenith BJJ is the association Drysdale and Rodrigo Cavaca founded in 2013, and IBJJF result sheets list Campo for it under her full name, Amy Scot Campo. Sherdog's record shows one amateur MMA bout, in October 2019, which she won by armbar in the first round, and no professional fights. At the 2018 World Championship she reached the purple belt medium-heavy final and lost it to Maggie Grindatti. Looking back in 2022, FloGrappling called it a narrow loss and saw the first signs of her potential in that tournament, including her open-class match against Yara Soares. The same year she won the purple belt middleweight division at the World No-Gi Championship. FloGrappling dated her rivalry with Clay to the 2017 Pan Championship, and at the 2018 American National No-Gi Championship Clay finished first and Campo second in both the purple belt medium-heavy division and the open class, which is contested without weight limits. Campo won both the medium-heavy division and the open class at the American Nationals in the gi as a purple belt in 2019 and again as a brown belt in 2020, and did the same at brown belt at the 2021 Pan No-Gi Championship. In November 2021 she finished second to Kendall Reusing at the ADCC East Coast Trials. In December she won both of her brown belt divisions at the World Championship, and the black belt followed right there on the podium. Wikipedia says it was her coach who gave her the belt; Jitsmagazine reported that she was standing on the top step when she received it. The ADCC West Coast Trials in April 2022 gave her a place at that year's World Championship: she won the +60 kg bracket, and FloGrappling reported that she submitted Maggie Grindatti and Paige Ivette there and beat Clay 10-0 in overtime in the semifinal. In June she competed at her first World Championship as a black belt, only her second IBJJF event at the rank according to the IBJJF, whose preview had listed her among the strong contenders at medium-heavy. Ana Carolina Vieira submitted her in their 74 kg match, Jitsmagazine reported, but Campo beat Vieira in the open class and went on to the final, which Gabrieli Pessanha won on a referee's decision. By FloGrappling's reckoning, no American woman had made that final in more than ten years. Also in 2022 she won the open class at the American Nationals in the gi, beating Clay in the final on advantage, and both the medium-heavy and open divisions at the American National No-Gi Championship. In an article published days before the 2022 ADCC World Championship, FloGrappling's Erica Zendell wrote that Campo had faced Reusing, Clay, Vieira and Pessanha in the preceding years, mostly away from the spotlight. Zendell described a game built on heavy pressure: takedowns that draw on wrestling and judo, knee-cut passes (driving a knee across the opponent's thigh to get past the legs) that carry her to side control or the back, and now and then an entry to the legs from K-guard. At the event, held in Las Vegas on 17 and 18 September, Campo beat Clay 3-0 in the quarterfinal, according to FloGrappling, keeping Clay's leg locks at bay and scoring with a knee-cut pass. In the semifinal she met Gabi Garcia, who had won the division in 2017 and 2019, and beat her, 5-0 by FloGrappling's count, in a match in which she landed an arm-drag trip with under a minute of regulation left. In the final she trailed Rafaela Guedes 0-2. A butterfly sweep turned into a scramble, Campo came out of it on Guedes's back, and securing both hooks (her feet locked in against the inside of Guedes's legs) inside the final half-minute won her the match 3-2. FloGrappling noted that she was 22 and that the title capped her first season at black belt. It also wrote that no American woman had won the +60 kg division before her, while pointing out that Mackenzie Dern had become the first American woman to take an ADCC world title, at -60 kg in 2015. Jitsmagazine later named her its Female Breakout Grappler of the Year for 2022. At the 2022 World No-Gi Championship Campo won the medium-heavy division and finished second to Clay in the open class. In March 2023 the two met in the final of the women's under 66 kg grand prix at Polaris 23, after Campo had won her first two matches there by rear-naked choke, against Julia Maele and Brianna Ste-Marie. Clay won the final by one point. At the 2023 Pan Championship Campo was second to Ana Carolina Vieira in the medium-heavy division. At that year's World Championship she submitted two of her three opponents on the way to the medium-heavy title, according to the IBJJF, and also took bronze in the open class. That November she competed in the women's super-heavyweight division of The IBJJF Crown in Long Beach, California, losing her opening match to Pessanha on advantages and the third-place match to Melissa Stricker on points. In 2024 she took bronze in both the medium-heavy division and the open class at the World Championship, won the medium-heavy division at the American Nationals in the gi, and won both the medium-heavy and open divisions at the American National No-Gi Championship. That August she returned to the ADCC World Championship in Las Vegas as the defending champion in the new +65 kg division. Previewing the event, FloGrappling's Joe Gilpin called her guard passing, built on pressure and control, probably her best position, and described careful wrestling at a deliberate pace. She submitted Nikki Lloyd-Griffiths with an arm-triangle choke in the quarterfinal, then lost on points to Nathiely De Jesus in the semifinal and to Kendall Reusing in the match for third place. For the first time since 2007, the event also had a women's absolute, or open-weight, division. In that bracket she won 2-0 on points against Amanda Leve and lost by the same score to Beatriz Mesquita, and the bronze medal, behind Adele Fornarino and Mesquita, came to her without a match when Rafaela Guedes did not compete for third place.
