UFC could market Marcelo and his lifestyle IMO

Who else wants to see this happen?

Early in his career did Marcelo have a match with Schembri? Phone Post 3.0

Marcelo Garcia "Step into my House" BJJ HL

Marcelo signed a 1 year deal in 2007 with K1/Dreams to fight MMA.

He even moved to Florida to train with American Top Team for that year. During that time, the promoters screwed him out of money, and cancelled three fights on him. He had no idea when he would fight, so he was basically in a 12 month fight camp.

I'm pretty sure this soured him on the idea of MMA, and he moved back to NYC- where he now has a very successful academy where he is happy training and teaching BJJ.

Marcelo is the Fedor of BJJ

Dana should make him an offer he can't refuse

Lol @ making him go through TUF Phone Post 3.0

I'd love to see him in a role as THE BJJ guy of the UFC. IDK, maybe as a color commentator they can bring in to break down any submissions, transitions, sweeps etc in between rounds. Kind of like how the news channels bring in military guys to talk tactics, politicos for policy issues, etc. I'd certainly listen to anything Garcia had to say about BJJ. Phone Post 3.0

Is his English good? Phone Post 3.0

yes his English is great

The guys a beast destroys some of UFCs top fighters on his website during filmed rolls and always with a huge smile.

I'd rather not see Marcelo get punched and kicked in the head. And I think hes too nice of a guy to give it back with bad intentions.

IT would be awesome to see how he did on the ground with everyone though. Phone Post 3.0

He doesn't want to fight though so that wouldn't make sense Phone Post 3.0

Your kidding right? Doing what he's doing now Marcelo makes more money than 99% of Zuffas roster. Phone Post 3.0

He tried mma and didn't like it. He's happy with his life. No need to go get punched in the face for peanuts. Phone Post 3.0

If he were to do MMA I would MUCH prefer it be in a ring with a 10 minute round where he could work his BJJ a bit more. Cage has allowed people with good BJJ and wrestling negate someone with elite BJJ and/or wrestling. It's still great MMA, but I prefer to see BJJ players fight MMA I. A ring. Phone Post 3.0

Marcelo Garcia on grappling & if he will return to MMA


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChM2Z1Mz2fg

old interview but he did mention he might compete in the future


I don't see him returning to mma.... His academy is doing great. He's got a child.... He hasn't even returned to bjj competition yet...I think he feelis like he's in a good place.

He is only a multiple time BJJ world champion so he would def have to go through TUF. You have to come out of the WWE to get a direct spot. Phone Post 3.0
