Must See: Andre Galvao Jiu-Jitsu Pwnage

Add CagePotato on Google:Preferred Source

In his first match at last weekend’s World Jiu-Jitsu Championships, Andre Galvao was paired up against someone who clearly wasn’t in his league. What followed was an unforgettably ridiculous display of grappling domination, in which Galvao turned the Mundials into his own personal And 1 Mixtape of jiu-jitsu. At the 1:09-1:17 and 1:42-1:56 marks he’s basically breakdancing on his opponent’s back, and we’d like to see more MMA fighters do the somersault guard-pass that Galvao pulls off at 1:35.

Andre Galvao’s Career

Andre Galvao went on to become one of the most decorated jiu-jitsu competitors of his generation, winning world titles and multiple ADCC championships, including the 2011 absolute title. He also founded the Atos jiu-jitsu team, which produced a generation of world champions.

Galvao fought in MMA as well, but it was on the mats that he built his legacy, with his ADCC superfights becoming some of the most anticipated matches in grappling.
