Nathiely de Jesus is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt under Cícero Costha, being also one of the top grappling competitors of her generation, a reputation earned during Nathiely's purple and brown belt campaigns when she earned 5 World titles, 1 Abu Dhabi World Pro, 1 Pan American and 3 Brazilian National titles for the PSLPB academy, all medals she would revisit as a black belt. Nathiely is also the wife of another prolific grappler, Manuel Ribamar.
