He certainly could. Didn't Ricardo Liborio and Mario Sperry have a "superfight" just a few years ago?
i dont think he could
he has trouble passing cobrinhas guard and rafas is better in my opinion
i love garcia hes my first idol in jiu jitsu when i saw him beat renzo and vitor shaolin
but i think guys today at that weight and level in the gi would cause him troubles hed do better no gi for sure but even then i dont see him having near the success he had in his adcc runs
he lost 20 years old and 22 and he barely beat kron the second time he wasnt in his prime age wiseCobrinha and Rafa aren't even in Marcelo's weight class. I don't really get the comparison.
If you look at Marcelo's ADCC division since he last competed in it it was won by Kron (who Marcelo is 2-0 against including a submission win). Then it was won by Davi Ramos and then JT Torres. Lucas Lepri was in the finals against both of those latter 2 guys. None of those 3 men clearly outclass Marcelo and none of them play a game or style that Marcelo hasn't dealt with before.
I'm not saying Marcelo wouldn't catch an L against any of those guys but none of them are doing things radically different than when Marcelo was running that weight class.
kron was a young man when

I suppose It was basically a novelty for nostalgia sake.yeah and it sucked balls.... god dont even make me remember that...

I think Marcelo's actually 36 years old. He still trains regularly with all of his top guys, as well as the top grapplers that visit him.
Even while retired, he has helped train some of the top ADCC guys for their matches- and more than holds his own against them during these hard training sessions.
I don't think he stands to gain anything from competing again, but I know a lot of people would love to see it.
(I'm super fortunate to be close to him...and during all this time together, I don't think I've ever asked if he was coming back to compete again)
started at 15 and im 27 i feel much much stronger explosive than at 20 22 u cant deny that a guy at early 20s is as good athletically in this sport then than at late 20s theres a reason most mma guys are there best at late 20s through mid 30s todayAt 22 years old after grappling from age 6 or so, yes you are in your grappling prime.
no i dont think so i st

Then you just were not maximizing your training in your early 20s. Plain and simple.no i dont think so i st

harder back then then today and im the same size is topped growing after 15 but i noticed around 25 26 i started getting strongerThen you just were not maximizing your training in your early 20s. Plain and simple.
yeah but imagine having both lol theres a reason even bjj guys lift weights today if it was all technique then guys would just train bjj only and no supplements when everytings = conditiong and strength size comes into playTechnique matters a lot more in BJJ then being at your absolute physical peak.

That is because you started “late”... at 22 you are super man... you could train all day go out to drink sleep 2 hours be ready to do the same, at 27 you can’t do that anymore specially if you started training at a very young age
