“One of Marcelo Garcia’s most iconic performances was the armdrag against Vitor Shaolin at ADCC 2003. The unknown Marcelo was an alternate for the competition, yet dominated the legendary Renzo Gracie en route to his semi-final match against Shaolin. Shaolin was a two-time world champion. Within seconds of the start of the match, Marcelo Garcia was calmly walking away from an unconscious Shaolin.”
