Marcelo Garcia vs Pablo Popovitch ADCC 2007

The final of the -77 kg weight category.

[@pricedownproductions9851]

never be afraid to use your face to set up a toe hold

[@petrpanthr3925]

Face of an angel, heart of a killer.

[@MrStrongBro]

He’s literally living and breathing everything he teaches on MGINACTION. The standing guard break, back step in half guard, leg over head half guard pass, side control to knee on belly, switches sides, side control to transition to north south, walks to the other side of north south to get the ns choke and finish. 👏

[@aplus1080]

Funny that this is so old in the background you're hearing about Chuck Liddell at ADCC. Also it's hilarious that Marcelo jumps on his friend with a hug to celebrate and starts to do RNC with his arms.

I like that this upload has original audio... would like more highlights that way

The one and only Marcel garcia goat for grappling

[@user-hy9ni4ho2h]

Моё восхищение Марсело не знает границ. Пересматриваю его схватки уже сотый раз. Он для меня был образцом когда я начинал заниматься борьбой и сейчас, спустя много лет. Поражаюсь его незамысловатой техникой, где отсутствует какое-либо жонглирование и фантастические перелеты от одного захвата к другому. Постоянный плотный контроль, переходы по кратчайшему пути, отточенные базовые техники, простые и верные как автомат Калашникова.

[@modernpolymath]

It's so weird now seeing a back-step without it ending in the saddle.

[@The-Dom]

If marcelo had just taken his foot off the gas for 15s he'd have won. He's such a noble competator. Never quits to win on points. GOAT.

[@mongolchiuud8931]

I heard Marcelo cant be choked out because he doesnt breath air. Some say he has grills between his thighs that extracts oxygen from his opponents sweat.

[@Herc11355]

That's why there is something called a blood choke (:

[@mongolchiuud8931]

@@Herc11355 Not to be THAT guy but... choke /CHōk/ verb: 1.(of a person or animal) have severe difficulty in breathing because of a constricted or obstructed throat or a lack of air. Blood Choke is a misnomer as chokes refers to restricting air/oxygen. I think you are thinking about carotid restraints or sleeper holds are a form of strangulation that compress one or both carotid arteries and/or the jugular veins without compressing the airway, hence causing cerebral ischemia and a temporary hypnotic condition in the brain aka restricting Blood flow to the brain. =P

[@Herc11355]

@@mongolchiuud8931 You weren't that guy. Blood chokes is pretty self explanatory when you are doing bjj. Refers to as you stated compression on carotid arteries. "blood restriction"

Marcelino Garcia ainda não teve o reconhecimento que merece...

[@daniloab9701]

tem toda razão

[@deckerjager2033]

Ele não precisa. A vida não é sobre reconhecimento. Trata-se de aproveitar seu tempo aqui, esperançosamente vivendo pela verdade e honra.

[@Jamusictv]

He jumped the hell out of the guard Lolololol

North-south neck crank?

[@Merovinjian]

Its his north south choke. You can youtube it. Basically sprawl into a north south guillotine and let shoulder pressure do the work. Its a nasty choke.

Embarrasment to the sport, glad they don’t do that anymore

[@scottamon8908]

Marcelo is dangerous.

[@amiralkook1]

I wonder why he did not attack the north south from the right side !

[@isdaeekerman]

only does north south with his right arm

[@amiralkook1]

isdaeekerman I know I use it a lot too. But you see he attacks at 6’33 from right side then at 6’35 he is perfectly placed to finish from here but he prefers pass to left side to finish his north south at 6’40 I don’t know why.

[@jhonfamo8412]

amiralkook1 was that an arm triangle?

[@amiralkook1]

@Jhon Famo I saw a north south. It’s not an arm triangle because Marcelo has only the head. In an arm triangle you need the neck with an arm inside.

[@k10e05h]

Marcelo used his chest to push Pablo’s hands further away from his neck, then used his left arm to trap it there. Pablo’s hands were pinned between Marcelo’s left arm and his chest, so he went to the left side to attack the choke with his right arm that was free.
