We've been receiving great support for grappling videos, so we continue to uncover new heroes. And by the way, Galvao has direct ties to several UFC fighters and even stepped into the MMA arena himself.
Im so happy ive gotten to meet him a few times. In person, he is one of the most genuine and nice people even though he is a word class grappler. You would see him walking around and not think much of it. He doesn't need to be flashy or anything. Just a great guy.
@@pedrodutra4088 still he made excuses... I admire Galvao, but he should've stayed retired... and let his amazing students the routolos on the spotlight
One amazing grappler, that just couldn't translate his style fully into MMA. Nothing to take away from him being an absolute unit. Wonder what could've been if he went into the MMA world completely.
@@ItsReplayBro Yeah because bjj guys just flop on their back and don't know how to take people down. And on top of that this guy is juiced out of his mind so he could never do mma
Wow, he's a heel hook specialist with no gee, and gee chokes with one... No wonder I never heard of him. I could've went without seeing this video. I'm glad that his students didn't pick up his specialty heel and toe holds.
I know Gordon is widely hailed as the no-gi GOAT by many, but to me, Galvao is still the p4p no-gi GOAT. When the two paired up, the classic age-old adage of two closely matched in skill, the larger one usually wins came into play.
if there's one guy who can claim to have fought the best of the best that guy is andre galvao. From Nino Schrembi, Cranivata, to Roger Gracie, Marcelo Garcia, Xande ribeiro, Romulo Barral, Braulio Estima, to Buchecha, Felipe Pena, Leandro LO until eventualy Gordon ryan - thats almost 4 generations of grapplers at the highest level. Of course he lost a lot of matches but he won ALL possible titles in GI and No GI. Incredible career.
Dude was an absolute monster! If you pause it just right at 4:56 you can see just how jacked and strong he was too. Nobody mentions his strength much, but his former competitors say he was a different level of strong!!!
Now if this was a post about Gordon Ryan there would be a plethora of steroid comments, all I see are goat comments not one peep about him being on peds
Dude Chris Weidman was giving it up. What a guy. He should've been a multi-time champ with his wrestling, that jab, and jujitsu good enough to go against galvao and catch him.
Of course I bet the most interesting thing about a large majority of professional athletes isn't really all the amazing things they do during their time competing, but rather the rampant use of chemical substances to improve their talents. More specifically the use of "steroids," a blanket term for the many different types of chemical substances men and women put into their bodies as a method of improving their performance. Sure, there are more than enough people that miss no opportunity to attack that statement, and I don't blame them. I don't blame them not because I'm wrong or because they're justified, but rather out of understanding as I don't blame someone guilty of cheating nor someone simply in denial of the facts, anymore than I do the extremely RARE individual who for a handful of reasons managed to attain such level of competition and keep it for any extended period of time beyond that of a handful of years without cheating in some way from attacking my statement. In any event, I stand by my statement that a majority of today's modern athletes have been guilty either now or in the past of using steroids for an advantage. Make no mistake about it, it is happening and has been for a long time, much longer than the public are remotely aware of, or factually really care to understand. What can I say, people like to see muscle, and people like to see a person doing things most of them couldn't do even with a lifetime of steroid abuse matter of factly, but that's not to say it's any less than cheating using them, it's not a defense of one who chooses to take them as if saying well most other people couldn't defeat them while they cheat and the other doesn't. At the end of the day cheating is cheating and in doing so it does a disservice to the sport, it does a disservice to the generations to follow growing up that want to be just like their hero and in several ways no less. It's just bad overall, but unfortunately in this world there's no shortage of all those different types of people on the other side of what I'm saying that either refuse to accept, don't feel responsible for their part, don't mind cheating for profit at the expense of the many costs to their cheating, and so on. Steroids are as much a part of professional competition as apple pie is to America or so the phrase went with a documentary I saw years ago, and years removed from the world of competition myself. No, I don't fall in the category of bitter has been or never was, such as I'm certainly not bitter, and I don't believe I fit the category of never was because I certainly was though I left on my own terms and hardly miss it. I also do not say it out of a desire to insult those guilty of doing such things, there is no need to do so as they themselves have done more themselves to tarnish their own names and legacies by choosing to prove what they surely already were completely aware of and that is, they simply weren't good enough otherwise. And that, as any athlete with any ounce of integrity, will surely agree and support as being more than enough shame for the individual. If any more evidence was needed to prove that, look at what drove those that cheat to decide to cheat in the first place, thus both supporting what I said as a shameful individual who resorted to cheating and so forth. It's a vicious cycle really, a truly pitiful existence I'm sure it certainly is to be so inferior of a competitor it takes to do such things and to be that much smaller of a person to be incapable of tipping your cap to the better talent for besting you, it's pretty low of a person. How such an individual ever brings themselves to feel deserved of recognition, and in the ways so many do, doing how small they clearly are, I couldn't fathom such a life, which is a great reason not to go down such a path if any young athletes are facing such a crossroads. My advice would be don't take such decisions lightly, as it will play a role in your life, for the rest of your life. Some things, cannot be made to go away no matter how much money and success you attempt to drowned it in, you will never water down what you've been a part of, of what you've done in choosing to cheat. It's to force your soul into hazard, the likes of which no deed may ever undo. It follows you to the grave and beyond. That's the best I can do.
Irrelevant. Roids don't change standings in a sport filled with athletes who juice - and all of them do. If grappling was an olympic sport everyone would be tested and they would all be natural. As it stands, it's not an olympic sport, it's untested and everyone is taking stuff. Either scenario puts everyone on a fair, even field of play. TLDR:Galvao would still be a champion if roids didn't exist, is my point.
It's definitely relevant. Have you seen the frame of Andre? First of all, he would never be a heavyweight champion. The dude is like 1.70 cm tall - tiny. He'd be a lightweight at best and never be a heavyweight phenomenon as he has been able to become with incredible amounts of roids. Same with Gordon ofc, even though he is naturally a tall guy.
@@Mongo966 When it comes to grappling sports there is an optimal amount of muscle one can hold on a their frame naturally before it hinders anaerobic capacity. Taking steroids lets you bypass any limits for strength relative to size/conditioning volume and keep a lot of extra muscle (you'll generally burn excess muscle tissue with high endurance sports since its essentially maladaptive).
He completely outclassed UFC fighters I watched a young Tyrone Woodley who wasn't at his peak smash galvo.. in strikeforce with his wrestling and striking.. Andre couldn't take him down because he's good at bjj not MMA or striking or high level wrestling pulling guard in a fight is a bad idea from the Gracie's Vs sakuraba royler trying to pull guard Vs genki sudo 🤦 to Marcelo Garcia get smashed in MMA by some Asian fighter no-one new.. to Roger Gracie getting cut to now kron Gracie a punching bag trying to pull guard.. going back to Fabio gurgel Vs mark Kerr wee new bjj legend doesn't mean your going to be a great MMA fighter and learn striking or wrestling.. starting o your knees or pulling guard ect not good for actual combat in the streets or cage
We've been receiving great support for grappling videos, so we continue to uncover new heroes. And by the way, Galvao has direct ties to several UFC fighters and even stepped into the MMA arena himself.
Would you ever consider showcasing great competitors from grappling styles, such as judo, amateur wrestling or sumo?
I want to see some stories about the classic legends.
Couture, Tank Abbot...
What about Chuck Lidell? Surely that would be a popular video
Him vs gordon right now 🙈
That's what your title should say then. Not dismantled ufc fighters, that was just a lie. Respect points lost
@@bobbarker5884 he did though... in gi and no gi ju-jitsu.

What an absolute legend! Seems like a hell of a guy and I wish him all the best!
Forever a legend in the world of BJJ. The competition torch was passed to Gordon Ryan, but he'll live on through his amazing students!
I'm not alone when I say a lot of his fans wish he would not have made a thousand excuses losing to Gordon...

Andre Galvao is an inspiration to many. I hope he enjoys the retirement he earned and deserves. He's a gentleman and a true credit to the sport.
The cardio on these guys are freaking insane, all that sprawling and movement. Gosh dang man.
and PEDs
@@lobsidedballsthanks Captain obvious

This just speaks volumes to how hard mma is. You can be the best in the world in 1 martial art but it takes being well rounded to be great in mma.
Was he better than roger gracie? Marceli garcia, souza? They didnt take mma by storm.
@@ItsReplayBro Yeah because bjj guys just flop on their back and don't know how to take people down. And on top of that this guy is juiced out of his mind so he could never do mma
Too muscular for MMA, striker with good takedown defense and it's already tough
Legend in BJJ, and smart enough to realize quickly that he had no chance of success in MMA, and moved on.
Another Great Legend 👍🏼. 💯🙌👊🏼
Crazy commentary! Really, hats off and kudos to creator!!
So beautiful to see Anderson Silva smiling when Chael taps hahahaha
"go to sleep you roided crook" bro what?Galvao is on everything!
He surely looks like a guy that eats steroids from a soup-bowl
everyone is on steriod so it a level playing field.
This is a great Brazilian jiu jitsu video! Please keep these and grappling videos coming.
Wow, he's a heel hook specialist with no gee, and gee chokes with one... No wonder I never heard of him. I could've went without seeing this video. I'm glad that his students didn't pick up his specialty heel and toe holds.
So many killer fights! Awesome edit. Goooo Andre!!!
This guy trained my prof. What a fkn absolute beast.
that brought a tear to my eye at the end there bro, thank you
Called Deco for short should have been called Deca instead.
Amazing , this guy was just built different
This is just amazing, thank for your job
Andre and Wiedman, EPIC fight!
Who writes this formidable script! Cheers!
Excellent new content, thanks. Bring more brazilian athletes!
Great video.
Amazing Athlete! Awesome to watch him work his magic!
low single at 20:50 was beautiful
Man and is amazing how Gordon Ryan walked through him.
Apples and oranges friend. 2 different universes....

The only way, he got to where's he at. So true
They all are no talk about it pretty openly
Im sorŕy ...that feint, deceptive takedown at 21:54 was brillant...just woooooo.....stunning
I have to say to the creator of this video that was one very entertaining video👍👍
You guys are the best! keep it going.
“Go to sleep you roided crook”…
Meanwhile Galvao is one of the juiciest grapplers of all time 😂
Professor is the best! 🔥🔥🔥
Wow. He submitted legends of BJJ.
Excellent work here.
This man deserves his flowers.
It’s always a great day when VoteSport drops a video
Maybe one day one of these days, one of them can beat Gordon Ryan.
Great vid thank you 🙏
He is a beast.
This guy was pumped like Hulk...
ok he is bad ass ...... amazing !
excellent
What a beast
What a CHAMP!!!!!
Andre will choke you with your own socks...here's the kicker: They are still in your sock drawer.
I rolled with Andre. He’s great
Amazing video,thank you!
Great content!
This is the power of life long dedication and steroids
That intro..
"If BJJ was at the olympics .. every single competitor would be banned for illegal substances"
Who cares?
No one knows this but my professor is mike carbullido which is one of Andre galvaos students.
I've gotta agree with the Gracie's that I'm not a fan of the points system grappling.
Quality documentary, thanks
Just think about how Gordon Ryan made this tiger look like a kitty.
Gordon's also so juiced it's quite literally killing him.
@@damienhouse7706 And Galvao is not?
Against a smaller and older man? Until Gordon wins a few big Gi tournaments, he's not above Galvao in my eyes.
@@damienhouse7706 So is Galvao, c'mon dude
That's what happens when you have so many fights to be studied and analized...
I'd say Gordon is the Michael Phelps. But of course if I said that to him, he'd slap me harder than Gordon slapped him.
Yoel Romero vibes - freakish strength
Lmao you really hate the man cheal p sonnen 😂 that part of the video is hilarious 20:37
Looks like Steve-O's Hulk rage form
Fact andre galvao has a dark history with usada 😂😂😂
i bet all the fighters and actors from wwe , pridefc , one and ufc combined will have less chemicals in their bodies than galvao and ryan
Yesss he said, he even worked at a pharmacy 😅
As soon as he said 10x world bjj champion.........I tapped out of this video
Dude was an absolute monster! If you pause it just right at 4:56 you can see just how jacked and strong he was too. Nobody mentions his strength much, but his former competitors say he was a different level of strong!!!
Yeah bro dude was jacked & he handled them dudes who we're a lot bigger than him with some Beast Mode Style💪
Becuase of steroids. Idc if he was on steroids but you gotta give credit where its due
@@tumni432 if technique is the king why are him and gordon ryan on steroids?

I just love this ❤
Amazing 👏

Dude has straight deca dura running through his veins
Bleeds clear
Brazillian Juice Jitsu 🤣🤣🤣
0:03 if BJJ was in the Olympics this guy wouldn’t be allowed to compete because of the roids 😂
Beautiful career showing that his losses only pushed him up... awesome.
"Go to sleep you roided crook."
Uhhh... which one?
After Usada he can run away.. undefeated, undisputed 😂
Juice is strong!!!
The perfect example of what it is to use performance enhancing drugs "steroids" none of these Bjj matches have USADA involved... Sad!
