Patrick Gaudio is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, a rank awarded by his father Fabiano Gaudio in 2014. Patrick became recognized as one of the top grapplers of his generation while competing in the lower belt divisions of the sport where he often represented the Top Brother academy. He would later shift for GF Team and train extensively with Theodoro Canal, with whom he conquered his brown belt IBJJF Worlds title before joining the black belt division, where Gaudio's outstanding performances cemented his claim as one of the best in jiu-jitsu.
