I can't believe I only just learned about this.
Amazing. Can't wait to see what the "Michael Jordan of grappling" can do in MMA.
His future opponents better work on their TD defense.

Let's not forget, Garcia has all of 0 MMA fights. He is an absolute stud in submission grappling and BJJ, but there's a world of difference when someone is trying to punch you in the face when you're in the guard. See Robert Traven and Marcio Cruz as examples. I am not downplaying Marcelo's skills as they are absolutely awesome, but the UFC should not be signing anyone with 0 MMA fights. He'll likely turn out to be very good, but let's see him in action against a quality opponent before annointing him the next superstar of MMA.
