this looks amazing definitely will be watching
Galvao by mat wipeage…Andre isnt the best MMA fighter in town, but his jitz is UNREAL
Not saying Galvao will lose but if you think he’s just gonna run through Ryron you’re sadly mistaken. Ryron Gracie is a monster and I highly doubt Galvao could submit him. My prediction is Andre by points.
Yeah he wont run right thru him lol i got a bit excited when i saw the matchup.. But yeah its gonna fun to watch the safe bet is probably Galvao by points
No points in these matches
Ahh gotcha. In that case I think Ryron has an even better chance of winning. That guy has defensive jiu jitsu like a boss. Galvao better show up with the stamina of a horse or Ryron is gonna wear him out lol.
This is a submission-only event! That’s what is going to be awesome about it!! No points!!
I don’t know man, Ryron is a ****ing beast have you seen any of his matches?
Its submission only. After 20min it’s a draw. Jean Jacques Machado is also competing.
Gracie boys in Torrance don’t train too much in sport jiujitsu and the size difference is huge; I’ve got Galvao taking this.
Buchecha and Roger, man I don’t know about that one.
I applaud Ryron for taking this match. Most people would sit behind their desks and talk about how good they are, but the Gracies do not do that. They actually step out there and compete. Rather win or lose I respect Ryron. Saying that this is going to be crazy. Lister, Glover, Roger, and Galvao. This is a better card than the UFC 151.
I agree. I only *wish* BJ would do some grappling super events. Perhaps BJ vs. Marcelo
As far as jiu jitsu goes this card is stacked as ****!
