Lucas Daniel Silva Barbosa (born February 13, 1992) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist (MMA), submission grappler and Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) black belt competitor.

One of the most accomplished jiu-jitsu athletes of his generation, Barbosa has conquered nearly every major title in the sport; being a four-time World IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi champion, two-time Pan American champion (Gi and No-Gi), European Open and Asian champion, two-time World IBJJF medallist as well as a two-time ADCC Submission Fighting World Championship medalist.

@Lewolka
I think we should find a way to rephrase the World IBJFF medalist part. His most significant achievement is being the 2018 World Champ. Putting it as medalist makes it sound like he didn't win gold. And in my opinion it should go at the front.
Also see if you can rename some of the tournament accomplishments in the results summary. The recent edits have triggered WP:COPYVIO flagging. Refer to here

Agree I'm not a big fan of medallist myself unless there are no other accomplishments to list, have changed it. re tournament accomplishments and copyvio I wouldn't worry about it as this section is a listing and not prose. I am more concerned about some of the text that seems to be paraphrasing a bit too much the same source, especially followed by unnecessary WP:REFBOMB. I have reworked the background section, IMO the following section needs the same treatment. Best Lewolka (talk) 14:00, 22 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
