[@IAMkai2008]

Marcelo man.....

[@fisheralfred6683]

That opponent is too passive and just holding back and keeps running away from marcelo afraid of being caught in guillotine or something

[@saltyseaweed]

Agreed. The amount of running, disengaging, and stalling was unacceptable in that match.

[@alhunter5441]

i agree but when engaged leo shut macelo x guard game down;agree? (most get swept easy)

[@stevenoverlord]

Thats leo Santos. He was fighting passive in the beginning as ADCC scores no points in the first quarter. All in all Id say he fought pretty not surprised as they are both phenomena grapplers, albeit from different generations.
