“You Can’t Teach Heart speaks to who I am. I may not be the most talented, but I’ve always had the grit to keep going, through pain, setbacks, and pressure. Heart is what drives me.”

Rhyle Lugo is a brown belt under Cebu Jiu-Jitsu. With 8 years of experience across BJJ, grappling superfights, and MMA, Rhyle has built a decorated career with wins in the Philippine National Games (Muay Thai), ASJJF events, UWW WAP, and a 4-0 record in Relentless Grappling Superfights. He’s also stepped into the cage with back-to-back TKO wins at URCC Global 81 and URCC Global 85.

For Rhyle, competition is about more than medals—it's about growth. Every match, every setback, and every comeback has shaped not only his skills, but his character. He fights with heart, for the people who believe in him and for the journey that brought him here. Off the mats, he finds balance through dirt biking, gaming, and staying grounded with a tight support circle.

As he continues to compete and evolve, Rhyle's goal is to represent the Philippines on bigger international stages and help grow the MMA and BJJ community in the country.
