Strong Possibility of Marcelo Garcia in Dream GP!

This would be awesome, especially if Andre Galvao also enters. The GP begins April 5 and airs on HDNet. While nothing is signed, it looks highly likely from everything I have been able to find so far, that Marcelhino will enter.

 

From Gracie Mag:

 

American Top Team coach Ricardo Liborio confirmed the likelihood Marcelo Garcia will sign with Japanese promotion Dream, which will host a 77kg Grand Prix this year. The tournament has already confirmed such high-profile fighters as Japanese idol Shinya Aoki, as well as a likely appearance from Andre Galvao, Marcelo’s rival from the days of their competing in sport Jiu-Jitsu.

"There’s a good chance. Nothing’s in ink yet, but there really is a good chance Marcelo will be in the GP," said Liborio to Portal das Lutas.

WOW.

Garcia, Galvao and Aoki in the GP, and Jacare on the same card. It’s gonna be a good night for BJJ.

Yeah, it makes the entry of Aoki, even more appealing.

If you're not submitting, you're just rolling around with another guy.

Galvao is a lock for the GP, according to Tatame. Here’s video of him training with Jacare.

God forbid any of them meet a guy who can knock their block off.

They are still lacking the required ‘American NCAA/Olympic/World Championship wrestler with zero MMA experience.’

I know, and Ian Murphy was in the MW GP last year. Now they need someone to fill that role for the WW GP.

I notice Micah Miller of ATT is in the 138lbs. tournament.

Maybe they’ll offer two-time NCAA champion and former Olympian Ben Askren (1-0) of ATT a spot in the Welterweight GP.

In which case, fuck, just cancel ADCC 2009.

I hear Batista’s available.

If he is, UFC is probably meeting with him right now.

Japan already has enough pro-wrestlers fighting for them.

A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.
