2:18 Galvao almost poops himself. Why it is so significant, is that this was the 2nd time Marcelo had beaten Andre in this same competition. Marcelo beat Andre once to win Middleweight, then went on to the absolute div to choke out both Galvao and Cyborg Abreu on his way to the final match against Damian Maia, where he defeated Maia in a point match to win the Brazilian National Championships middle and absolute div. That's an accomplishment of truly epic proportions.
+Rafael Coelho Garcia Yeah you have some trouble seeing how he does it from this angle. Although after watching it a few times it seems that Garcia used the fact that Galvaos arms where on one side defending against his leg, he used the leg to get unstuck and trapped Galvaos arms on one side by hugging him making it very easy for Garcia to jump on his back.
To this day, it amazes me how this little guy passed galvaos guard, takes his back and chokes him out. She gives up about 40 pounds in weight... And defeats a guy who beat up Felipe Pena. Unbelievable
Incredible, Galvao got owned by Marcelo. How can people argue the fact that Marcelo is not the best of the best. Galvao is way bigger and stronger guy, and Marcelo just destroyed him. Unbelievable! Marcelo is really the best.
Marcelo trained in Alliance, you know, under Fabio Gurgel. The closest he got from the Gracies was that Romero trained with Rolls, that was Carlos son, from another branch of the family.
I think I know Marcelo's secret now......he uses the 'force' Pefect example at 2.20. How did he manage to go from a near sweep to a back take? ...the force......
não concordo...o diferencial dessa luta foi a velocidade impressionante do Marcelinho e na pressão na passagem....o Galvão tb é muito técnico no nível do Marcelinho...abraços
And Andre Galvao completely dominated Xande Ribeiro, who, in turn completely dominated Marcelo Garcia... I think these guys have a pact so that we can't possibly know which one is better :-)
Simple, Marcello can do those things we think about doing and would like to do but our body wont let us.. His body just defies gravity and does whatever he wants it to do. Crazy..
Isso foi no Brasileiro de 2006...Andre Galvão nem disputa mais o Brasileiro...Marcelo Garcia hj n aguenta Galvão....n da nem pro cheiro...não me levem a mal os fans do marcelo...
