Lucio Rodrigues (born October 26, 1980), aka "Lagarto" (lizard in Portuguese), is a 3rd degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

He then joined the Carlos Augusto's ( 4th degree black belt under Reyson Gracie) academy at the age of 13 where he focused completely on training hard.

In 2004, after receiving his black belt at the age of 24, Carlos Gracie, Jr. asked Rodrigues to move to Portugal to promote BJJ in Europe.

Rodrigues believes that his healthy lifestyle (no drinks, no drugs, no cigarettes or red meat and plenty of rest) has helped him endured the chemotherapy.
