Marcelinho Garcia submitted the first two fights on ADCC and wants to repeat the good performance tomorrow to leaveBarcelona with the title of the World Cup of submission grappling. After submitting Rodney Ellis and Kron Gracie, the black belt spoke with TATAME about the semifinal against K-Taro Nakamura, who eliminated Milton Vieira and Marcelo Azevedo.

“My expectation is to make a good fight against Nakamura tomorrow. I still don’t know him well, but I’ll find out to start to think about this fight tomorrow“, Garcia said, commenting the fight against Kron. “He fought better than a lot of people and I think everyone notes that. It was my harder fight today. That was the second time I went to overtime on ADCC, the other time was with Ricco Rodriguez, and Kron could take me to overtime too“, said.
