Florian Bayili is a professional jiu-jitsu player born in Burkina Faso who grew up in Belgium, where he earned his black belt from coach Dieter Truyen at the Brussels BJJ Academy (BBJJA). Bayili was recognized as one of the hottest prospects on the European circuit after his brilliant campaign as a brown belt (2021-2022) when he earned important medals in many tournaments of the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (IBJJF) & Abu Dhabi Jiu-Jitsu Pro (AJP) associations, he would later cement that claim in the professional division.
