Andre Galvao x Clark Gracie - Abu Dhabi Pro trials San Diego semi-finals

[jameskang28]

didnt know clarks guard was good, looks like galvao wasnt even close to passing

[guitarman270984]

Referee Augusto tanquinho did a good job. Referees always give advantage to the one that "attacks", meaning the guy that trys guard passing.

[EricRyanCronin]

@guitarman270984 Isn't pulling guard attacking? 

[702decatur]

@EricRyanCronin Nope, it's running away from the takedown game... At least that's what the ref says..

[drods71]

Awesome match!! I'm Still early in the game an can't see who won or lost,, but looks like the white boy did good holding his guard, sweeps.. I'm going looks that white boy up on utube!! I want a guard like that!!

clark should have won,ref.sucks!

[Trigun225]

I think galvao won that fair.

[SuperGameless]

i know exactly how that feels, thinking you got it in the bag, then boom ref gives the adv win to your opponent, even if it looks as if your the aggressor. sucks!!!

[victorsamurai]

Ótima Luta.. mas André Galvão simplismente é o MELHOR!!! ANDRÉ GALVÃO.. THE BEST!

[furunaki]

good guard play by clark , several adv points were awarded to both sides however from the looks of the fight i dnt think galvao shud have won. clark had more sweep and sub attempts , and galvao only put clark in danger of gettin passed once or twice. this is why at tournaments its submit ur opponent or lose.

[rhdadrian]

it was atos home advantage alot of people lost that should not have because of that, my team mate lost cuz he was not awarded his sweep points

[elee717]

Is that Renzo's voice I hear coaching in the background?

[popeyeswe]

Galvao competed april2010 in Abu Dhabi Pro...

[mataleao71]

Clark won? For what trying to keep his guard from being passed? Not a single ref gave an omoplata advantage the whole tournament and that was the only consistent thing from the refs..... Galvao won this fight and Clark did a great job no doubt. Lets remember Galvao hasnt competed in the gi for three years and he still wins major events.... SICK

[juniordrums]

@mataleao71 Clark tried several submissions, almost swept Galvao several times, and completely shut down the ability to pass the guard. Why would you think Galvao won?

CLARK you won bro, everyone knows it. The crowd is the best judge.

[patolento]

do you have the match andre galvao vs marcus buchecha?

[RD1derful17]

@patolento i wish! i left before that fight, wish i could of stayed

[mk9676]

Clark attacked with omoplata.... 1 Submission attempt. Andre only tried to pass. Clark wins. REAL close.. Awesome Match!!

[Biomass22]

Great match! Very active on both parts. Clark could have had a possible advantage at 4:23. Very close match.

[kirene1014]

anyone think crowd noise factors in? i remember atos going nuts after the match finished in hopes of swaying the decision, maybe?

[9thstreetbrandt]

@kirene1014 waht are you talking about? the crowd was obviously for Clark, if not why would they all have booed? heres a quote from below: "but everyone present at the trial besides the ref thought clark won..." sound like crowd noise was a factor? maybe to those that agree with the crowd, but the judges felt differently.

[Madmac79]

I agree, an overtime would have been better.

[hercheck]

tight match, tough call too. i love these 6 min bb matches. all action!

[telosd]

at least 1 advantage for clark... all respect to Galvao, but everyone present at the trial besides the ref thought clark won...

[YojimboBJJ]

@telosd What are you giving Clark an advantage for? The only thing that was halfway close to scoring was Andre's pass near the end, but it still wasn't enough for an advantage. There should be an overtime for matches like this.

[sdboatpainter]

Nice job Clark! Very awesome display by two of the very best guys around!

[robertirez]

i think ur wrong andre was the one attacking and doing the work clark was defending the pass the whole match

[subscriber10304]

Correct me if i'm wrong but Clark was more active. No time limits no point rematch !
