The Night Marcelo Garcia Faced Braulio Estima in the Absolute

💥 The Night Marcelo Garcia Faced Braulio Estima in the Absolute | ADCC 2009 Breakdown
This is one of the most legendary size vs technique showdowns in grappling history. Marcelo Garcia, the smaller but insanely technical submission artist, takes on Braulio Estima, a towering force of pressure, precision, and control — in the most unforgiving format: the ADCC absolute division.

Marcelo’s x-guard, back takes, and guillotine traps are tested against Braulio’s leg locks, top pressure, and length-based submissions. It’s more than a match — it’s a case study in how elite grapplers deal with size mismatches under high-stakes no-gi rules.

From setups to scrambles, grip fighting to transitions, we break it down frame by frame — highlighting the battle between flow, control, and submission timing.

This is essential viewing for anyone serious about ADCC, CJI, or modern submission grappling.
