Not just that, but he was also coaching several competitors of his who were trying to add to their own personal legacies.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_21266\"  width=\"696\" height=\"391\"  data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/szmKwoXSH00?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regardless, Marcelo Garcia was apparently still ready to step into the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/jitsmagazine.com\/tag\/adcc\/\">ADCC<\/a>\u00a02022 superfight if either Gordon Ryan or Andre Galvao withdrew at the last minute. Not only would he have been giving up a significant size disadvantage to either man, but it\u2019s also worth noting that Garcia was not actually preparing for any competition and hasn\u2019t competed at all in quite some time. Garcia has had incredible success in the absolute division throughout his career though and\u00a0has often been regarded as an underdog, so this didn\u2019t phase the BJJ legend and he was more than willing to step in on a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_55956\"  width=\"696\" height=\"391\"  data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4vSsE0kjqAE?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_76871\"  width=\"696\" height=\"391\"  data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iAX6hMXCeo4?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Of course, the superfight went ahead as planned as both Ryan and Galvao were good to go and\u00a0in the end it was Ryan who won the fight by submission and claimed the title. That was definitely the best outcome for the fans, as Ryan and Galvao had been circling each other for what feels like forever and that rivalry needed some kind of conclusion. Still, it would have been incredible to see Garcia step in out of nowhere and give either one of these men a run for their money on just a few hour\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_13602\"  width=\"696\" height=\"391\"  data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lUSsVJ92UDc?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jitsmagazine.com\/marcelo-garcia-was-ready-to-step-in-against-gordon-ryan-or-andre-galvao-at-adcc-2022\/?fbclid=IwAR1BKYiwlSCucgnp9mFWSeTwez0hnS365xAFM36g1zr9_etIMgSrx_u6RxQ\">Marcelo Garcia Was Ready To Step In Against Gordon Ryan Or Andre Galvao At ADCC 2022 &#8211; Jitsmagazine.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marcelo Garcia\u00a0apparently came to\u00a0ADCC 2022\u00a0as more than just a spectator, as the legendary grappler was actually ready to step in to the superfight match on short notice if either\u00a0Gordon Ryan\u00a0or\u00a0Andre Galvao\u00a0couldn\u2019t make it.
