World Pro Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu just gained a significant reinforcement. Considered one of the biggest names in Jiu-Jitsu and submission wrestling in recent years, Marcelo Garcia was confirmed to be in by Carlao Santos, the event’s organizer.
Carlao Santos is enthused with the addition of such dynamos as Rubens Charles “Cobrinha,” Braulio Estima, Michael Langhi, Lucio Lagarto, Gabriel Vella and Robson Moura. Another about to be confirmed is Rafael Lovato Jr.
“Now, I’m expecting a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu spectacle for the World Pro. It’s just what I wanted, folks returning to the gi, since they’d all headed for MMA,” celebrated Santos. “It’s really great to see this return taking place,” said the black belt in finishing.
According to Carlao, fighter Ricardo Arona will not be going to Abu Dhabi. Though the beast was pleased by the invite, his current focus is on MMA. But Carlao is not giving up. The next in his sights is Lovato, who is about to confirm whether he will or will not be attending.
