Dupa ce a castigat debutul in MMA prin Submission (armbar), Andre Galvao este pregatit de al doilea meci de MMA din cariera, ce va avea loc in Canada pe 28 noiembrie.
Daca pentru primul meci (vs Jeremiah Metcalf) s-a antrenat alaturi de Wanderlei Silva, Paulo Filho, Xande Ribeiro, Ronaldo Jacaré sau Fabrício “Morango”, acum Galvao a schimbat „sala” si s-a alaturat fratilor Nog, lui Anderson Silva si Rafael “Feijão” la Minotauro Team.
Intr-un interviu pentru revista TATAME, Galvao a explicat cum a perceput tranzitia de la BJJ la MMA.
“I think Jiu-Jitsu helps you a lot, so if you’re a BJJ black belt and you compete, you’re in advantage on the ring, because you can do the job stand up or on the ground. But you need to like it… A lot of people go from BJJ to MMA and don’t get used to it, and maybe you can put an end to your career with this choice, you need to know if you like to get beaten (laughs)”, told the athlete.
