I was looking at the partial list of competitors this year and noticed Marcelo isn't on the list. Anyone know if he's injured ?http://www.graciemag.com/2013/08/who...-partial-list/

He declined the the invitation citing: "I have choked out every mother fucker that ever was and ever will be. I am declining my invitation as a sign of mercy to competitors future necks."-Marcelo Garcia
In reality he declined because he wanted to focus on his growing academy, aside from a few projects he has considered himself all but retired. :(
Positive energy towards Marcelo and his academy... sad to hear he's retiring.Quote:

Metamoris can't even deliver what they already promoted.
IF Metamoris is still alive and kicking (this postponement seems fishy), I can't imagine Marcelo wouldn't be a part of one in the future. I mean, who wouldn't want to see Marcelo in a submission only match against another high level competitor? Rafa Mendes, perhaps?Quote:

Unofficially yeah. it sucks. He has twins on the way and wants to focus on his academy. Although recently he did say that fans haven't seen the last of him. In the past 5 ADCCs over ten years out of the 27 matches he's won he has 24 submissions. He's the best man. If and when he comes back I'm sure he'll do awesome as always.Quote:
