Born in Manaus, Brazil, Omar Salum is a black belt in jiu-jitsu under Royler Gracie, who also worked extensively with the Binho Monteiro while representing the Gracie Humaitá and Associação Monteiro before forming his own academy, Companhia (Cia) Athletica. As an athlete, Omar Salum is widely regarded as one of the best rooster-weight grapplers of all time, a reputation he achieved after conquering two International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) world titles, setting the record for the division in 2000. The record would be broken by Bruno Malfacine 10 years later.
