Marcelo Garcia BJJ Match vs Eduardo Portugues 2004 OLD SCHOOL JIU JITSU MATCH
Marcelo Garcia of Alliance Jiu Jitsu vs Eduardo Santoro “Portuguese” // Super fight in Sao Paulo from Marcelo's earlier black belt years.
Marcelo Garcia also known as ‘Marcelinho’, is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Master Fabio Gurgel, who competes for the Alliance BJJ academy. Having won 5 IBJJF world jiu jitsu tournaments and 4 times the ADCC (two of the most important tournaments in jiu jitsu), Garcia is widely considered one of the best grapplers in the world, while his general demeanor made him one of the most beloved athletes by the BJJ community. Marcelo Garcia has also been featured in BJJHeroes top 10 Best Grapplers of All Time list.
In 2009 Marcelo opened an academy in New York, starting to distance himself from his MMA Career, dedicating full time to his new academy and his students. Having lost its spark for MMA, he stated openly in an interview on March 2010, that he would no longer compete in MMA, also announcing his decision to return to BJJ, which he did later that year, winning the World Championships once again.
On December 2011 Marcelo Garcia awarded his first two black belts to Josh Waitzkin and Alexander Meadows. The Marcelo Garcia New York Academy has since become one of the top grappling schools in the world with a wide variety of world champions in all belt divisions.

Thanks again Riccardo! The "Desafio dos faixas pretas" or "Black Belt Challange" was awesome. This match was in Ibirapuera Gym, where ADCC 2003 was held. Please post more!
