Mario Lopez gets his BJJ purple belt

Famous actor, Mario Lopez, known for his role in ‘Saved By The Bell’ has just been promoted to purple belt by his coach, Robert Hill.

Lopez started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2017 and was awarded his blue belt in 2018 at Gracie Barra also from Robert Hill.

The TV star has recently been seen competing (and winning) at several tournaments this year. Back in August, Lopez put on a strong performance at the IBJJF Phoenix Open, where he came away with a gold medal in the Master 4 blue belt Lightweight division.

This purple belt has been a fun ride…Thank you to my Professors & training partners for elevating my game! #JiuJitsu #NextLevel #OnToTheNextOne pic.twitter.com/jkzI0aQMjF
