Biography

Andy Varela is an American Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and one of the most explosive and entertaining competitors on the professional no-gi circuit. Representing 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu in the Las Vegas area, Varela has become a fan favorite for his high-energy style, relentless pace, and all-out approach to every match, regardless of an opponent’s size or pedigree.

Since then, he has become a regular presence on major professional stages, competing for events such as WNO, F2W, UFC FPI, and UFC BJJ.
