Why we are super excited about Marcelo Garcia's comeback to competitive grappling
Marcelo Garcia is one of the greatest grapplers of all time.
He stepped away from the elite competition scene in 2011 to focus on coaching and running his gym.
Marcelo was then diagnosed with stomach cancer. But he has recovered from illness and is returning to competitive grappling.
The Brazilian faces Masakazu Imanari at One 170 on January 24.
In this episode of the Jiu Jitsu Oracle, Calum and Ross give their thoughts on the match and what makes Marcelo great.
