Rita Reis, a remarkable Brazilian martial artist and professional wrestler, was born on July 18, 1995, and has been making a name for herself in the wrestling world under the ring name Valentina Feroz, currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) NXT brand.
From a young age, Reis was drawn to the world of martial arts, beginning her training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the tender age of seven. As she grew older, she continued to hone her skills, transitioning into Judoka, or Judo, by the time she was just 14 years old.
At the age of 19, Reis made history by becoming the first female to win a Bronze Medal in the Judo World Championship, a remarkable achievement that solidified her position as a talented and accomplished martial artist.
In addition to her impressive Judo career, Reis also trained for Olympic Wrestling in 2016, demonstrating her versatility and dedication to the sport. Just a year later, on April 19, 2017, Reis added another prestigious title to her collection, becoming a Jiu-Jitsu World Champion.
