Just a thought. Put a mic on the off camera person asking questions.
Win adcc and then you can talk..
🤣 seriously they need a producer or something
Every god damn video these guys do the interviewer is inaudible.
@@perfectoj7775 Do all their interviewers need to win ADCC? How about their spokespeople? Their CEO? Everyone involved must be silent until they win ADCC. 🤡
@@perfectoj7775 absolute cringer
Actually a great piece here by Flo, can we get more of these? These guys are absolute legends in their own right, we never appreciate people enough while they're in sports, we wait until they retire before we tell stories, and I obviously don't just mean this about Galvao, all these guys are pioneers and dedicate their lives to take part in a sport they love, and that we love to watch (and some hopefully take part in also
Andre gave a really honest and thoughtful answer. It's a nice change from all the trash talking.
First time I've heard an interview outside of pure jiu jitsu technique from Andre, seems like a good overall guy.
He is an awesome human being. Back in 2012 I flew over to San Diego to join Atos from Miami Florida. Being just 19 and having nobody over there and basically just being a random blue belt with few results, Andre showed up to where I was staying the first week I was there and took me out to dinner and from day one made sure I felt a part of the Atos family since he knew I didn’t have any family in California. Dude is the man. He totally didn’t have to care about the random students on his mat which was plenty as you can imagine. But he went out of his way to do things like this
I met Andre a few years ago when he came to Australia, he's truly a humble and lovely guy.
@@jonathannaranjo5105 That's awesome man
Not enough interviews of Andre like this.
Proud of you, Andre for doing this interview. Put the past behind you and move on. Brighter days are ahead, bro.
Interesting how Gordon stated in his interview that he set a "trap" for Galvao, and Galvao states he fell into a trap. Galvao seems centered on the reality of everything. Happy to hear Galvao talking about how he put himself on the right track of mind and how centered he appears.
To me it seems like it's all lies. Jesus, right path and so on... It's about greed, envy and limitless pride, self glorification and vanity .
@@FlowithdaGo Interesting perspective that people also say about Gordon's interviews.
Flo, for the love of god mic both people. Who is okay with that at flow?
second this
Budget cuts
inflation...
This dude sounds like a really good person. It’s easy to be the clown. In this day and age, it’s so much harder to be the good guy.
Gordon is bigger, younger and hungrier but Galvao is such a legend
Peña is just as big and strong and young as Gordon and Galvao beat him
There's one thing Gordon could learn from Andre - how to face your own dark side, mental and spiritual weakness, etc. Unfortunately, just like most people, Gordon won't probably do it anytime soon, due to his current success. It feels like the greatest pleasure in his life is triggering, provoking and dominating people, which he's really good at. Add to this his passion for masculinity symbolics. Now take a little step and think what could cause such a craving of him.
Tons of respect for Andre publicly admitting his issues and admitting that he got trapped and also behaved stupidly at times. He really seems to be a nice and kind person, who btw leaves a lasting legacy both as an athlete and a professor.
Gordon is still young, give him some time he'll be wise someday
Pride comes before the fall. If you don't find humility on your own, life has a way of dishing it to you.
A passion for masculinity symbolics ? Tf?
He has danaher spreading philosophy to him daily. Pretty sure gordons a good guy irl just does acts immature to promote fights.
@@joshhale2007 yeah what did op mean by that lol?
I just think before Gordon we had Ryan Gracie promoting, Walid, Jacaré and Erbeth Santos recently. What I think, Gordon is doing it better but We had some fighters before him too.
Esses promoviam de forma verdadeira, a treta era real. Gordon faz por puro marketing.
@@Shialabeoufxyz puro marketing?? Cara se é burro? Puro marketing é ruim? Pior e fazer treat geral e nao gamhar milhoes de dolares como Gprdon esta ganhando. Pobre so fala merda hein. O cara dominou todo mundo nos ultimos 4 anos. E nao fala merda do numero de lutas titulos e de quem ele gamhou e como o jogo dele evoluiu se vc nao sabe. Abre a cabecinha que vai ficar feio se o cara passar o rodo esse ano também.
Sakuraba, Shamrock, and hundreds more.
@Nome what is the difference? I think I’m just misunderstanding what you mean, but it seems like they’re all just promoting / marketing themselves.
Very good attitude. Not many are willing to look within and make a change for the better. Respect
i hope galvao gives it one last go but gordon looks unstoppable
goat
Such admiration for Galvo. He's the man!
a real legend in the sport
Andre is such a stand up nice guy. Good teacher as well
He is not. He pretends, but have revealed himself to be a rather obnoxious person when he's frustrated. He made a fool of himself trying to fight back on social media against Gordon Ryan, and even flipped a finger, swearing and pushing him at WNO. André got smacked twice. Then he knew he was wrong, and started deleting his awkward social media posts. No he's blaming it all on he lost his way from God, but he found God again. I think he's talking about Gordon, not God.
Andre Galvao is the best person.Gordon Ryan is the best fighter.
Andre Galvao confronts Gordon after his fight for no reason, gets slapped and then backs off and behaves himself, and you say he's the best person? Fucken l-o-l
Best "grappler" please.
Fighter?!! Baaaaahahahaha!
Much respect. Everyone gets into a bad spot. Good on him for owning it. No one will ever know whose best because Galvao is not in his prime and Ryan is...which really places all the pressure on Ryan.
What a nice guy. And Iv just watched Gordon’s take on it all. What a contrast in character. This man has some honour and class. He speaks martial arts whereas GR speaks trash. You didn’t fail my brother. Your success is in your failure and having the the ability to recognise it. ❤️👊🏽🇬🇧
It was crazy to see Gordon Ryan's ability to market himself on social media pin Marinho to the ground for 15 minutes.
That was my thought, if he had never been talking shit on the Internet, Jacob couch would have submitted him in less than a minute
That sentence did not make sense.
@@linuxisbetter0 yup that was the joke thanks bud
@@Mindstangle hilarious
@@linuxisbetter0 yeah, some people say the same about algebra
Whatever happens, two legends.. Oss
Good stuff.....thanks for posting.
Assisti o André lutar na faixa Azul no RJ (Niteroí) em uma época que não dava dinheiro. Ele passou o carro em geral. Lembro de um amigo dizendo ( se referindo a ele): "está vendo aquele moleque ali??? Ele luta até em fundo de quintal." Moral da história: o cara saia de SP para lutar em qualquer lugar. É por isso que o cara merece tudo que tem. Ele mereceu devido seu sacrificio ao esporte. Não lhe conheço pessoalmente, mas lhe desejo Sucesso!
While Andre is pretty gracious in this interview, I want to see him fired up for this ADCC
He knows where coming
Andre is a terrific human being! I hope he and Gordon can forgive and move forward! Time is short, Brotherhood!!!
This is going to be legendary
Andre is a legend, no question at all and much respect. This is Gordon’s moment in the sport though. IMO GR is going to do exactly as he describes in his match with Andre. We’ll see at ADCC this year. GR has been outclassing other high level black belts with the exception of Billy the Hammer whom is a high level brown belt. This ADCC is going to be insane 🤯
Nice interview Andre!
Respect for Galvao in this interview. Comes across so much better than he did when he was trying to engage Ryan on his terms. If I had to bet, I'd say Ryan is likely to win the match, but Galvao will hive him a good run at the very least. Thanks for the interview! (And please get your interviewer a mic :-)
Great guy👍
It's awesome to see accountability instead of bravado. There is a fine line here though as all the trash talk and slaps is what's making this the biggest match ever.
So glad you’re back in the family. God Bless You Sir
Lets go Galvao lets go
I love this awesome !!!
Great role model for his students
Very cool.
Sensitive blokes. 🥺
This fight will be epic 🔥
*match.
it isn't a fight unless firearms are used.
@@justinmccartney200 it isnt a fight unless nuclear weapons are used
Well said
I feel like he is partially being honest and showing vulnerability but also partially surpressing shit and being resentful about it. Like he tries to take responsibility and dont blame others, but partially he still does and he cant let it go.
Respect to Galvao
Awesome
It's possible to love both fighters. If Gordon loses, the internet will efffing EXPLODE with awesome memes.
Andre, fight the guy. You might win, but even if you lose, it's worse not to fight at all than to die in battle.
Galvao will be passive and just stay defensive and try for control.
He’s strong as a gorilla so that gameplan works
Good Guy Galvao
Once again, please bring an interviewer side mic, we can't hear the questions. Otherwise great content as always.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏽😎
What did the five fingers said to the face?
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP 🤚🏼
It's one thing to talk trash and talk yourself up .... It's another thing when your words become reality ... And you're beating everyone who comes against you. This is confidence. Gordon is on another level from the best in the world... There are always athletes like that .... Once in a lifetime they pop up ... Gordon is one. He will go down as one of the best ever.
Before he was roided he couldn't beat the top guys in competition. Now that he's roided he's running through guys. I wonder why?
@@christianjames92 You think Andre, Pena, Cyborg, Orlando, or anyone else in the +99 weight class is clean??
@@christianjames92 Yes you are right on that. But, Jiu Jitsu is probably one of the very dirtiest sports when it comes to drug use, IMO. So, it is not just Gordon who abuses steroids. TBH, can you imagine how many "real good" guys have lost to roided meats? There must be plenty of them in the history of Jiu Jitsu. TBH. we have been probably not able to witness and will not be able to witness who is actually the best Jiu Jitsu cuz we have not seen them compete with their natural abilities. And won't be able to see them competing naturally unless serious measures get implemented which I doubt the Jit Jitus committee would even bother considering. I guess life, in general, is not fair. I guess I just wish sports were a little different from our life which is full of misfortunes, unfairness, and injustice.
@@hammysammy9128 Nope, but I believe he's taking better shit. He was a jobber in non submission only competitions but suddenly he's running through all the top guys like butter in less than a year??
@@christianjames92 "taking better shit" is such an insult to his skillset lol. have you seen any of his instructional vids on youtube? he's clearly amazing at jiujitsu and has a great teacher. it's not like gordon is mauling through opponents by pure strength. he's clearly just better at jiujitsu.
Looks like a therapy session 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Flo, put a damn mic on the interviewer
they stingy bro
Hey FloGrappling. Getting a second mic for the interviewer isn't that expensive
This is 100% the most insightful commentary here.
Love you guys at flow, but could you mic the interviewer please. The volume spikes between interviewer and interviewee is brutal.
Good interview…. Thanks Mikey heard u fine not thst it matters 😅👊
Andre is a very smart and humble man. Besides all the rivalry and money in grappling or whatever else you choose to do as your vocation in life, nothing is more important than being true to yourself, keeping your soul and your relationship with God. Without these things, literally nothing else matters. Not all the money or medals in the world. I like both Gordon and Andre, but listen carefully to what Andre is saying. The man has figured out where the true priorities are in this short life we have here on earth. Peace!
I love this guy, my son is becoming a monster in Juijitsu and it’s from the example of this man, he’s great for Juijitsu and May God keep blessing him and his family.
i say your son is trash
Dude looks like Red Skull
Is there a reason you don't want us to hear the questions being asked?
Sounds like a good person in this video
When can we get a mic for the interviewer!? Great content, but let’s get a mic lol
NEVER!!!!! (Ralph form the simpsons)
The slap heard round the world
Galvão is a family man, extremely respectful and well-accomplished. He did more for the sport than an American. He is the MAN! 👊🏻
You're racist
Doesn't he live in America?
@@pulsarlights2825 he is Brazilian Bro. As many of us, he had to fight his way through life to survive and strive.
He is a legend! 🙏🏼
He has barely done anything but making steroids mainstream. All his team Atos was on juice. "La bomba", as it was called. Even a meme page on Instagram for it.
@@FlowithdaGo If you know anything about BJJ is because people like him. So stop criticising and do better yourself.
I admire Gordon as BJJ athlete, but don't like his personality/character. I finally realised what he comes across as. He's a kid who was bullied, as a child, and now he's grown up and good at something, it's his turn to continue the bullying cycle, rather than break it, to make the world a better place. He's very petty and unable to rise above things or be the better man. I still think he's trying to find his true identity and is a still lost. Time will tell.
That said, as a BJJ fighter it's hard to bet against him this year. I do however think that within 2 years the younger generation, Tye Rotulo, Micael Galvão etc will have his number.
Totally agree with you. Gordon Ryan is so young and has achieved unprecedented success not just for his age, but in absolute with respect to the sport of submission grappling. I think that has kind of messed with his head and he’s probably just trying to figure it out like the rest of us. Unfortunately, he’s figuring it out in front of the world rather than in private. I think as he gets older and maturity sets in, he will become a much more emotionally squared away man. He seems like a good dude, he just looks like he has some demons.
Its a little odd to me that so many people view John Danaher as this oracle of wisdom when he apparently is just a great trainer. He certainly seems unable or unwilling to mentor Ryan in things deeper than wins and losses.
@@G1stGBless I think Danaher realises that Gordon is an adult and you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. So Danaher sticks to what he knows he can affect.
@@TheDomLouis i see it that way and at the same time ive known wise people and couldn’t help but learn from being around them.
They say Andre s on juice but Ryan looks juiced too
Hmmmm guess I’m an Andre fan now too
Gordon all the way.
Galvao comes across as a good guy here
guy won me over
Gordon Ryan say exactly the same thing. He was cool with Galvao, then both of them start going back and forth on social media and Andre take same of this online "converstaion" to deep. After that all we know what happened.
I believe Andre Galvao has what it takes to become a legend.
He's already one.
@@Hazama91350 right, like wtf?
@@ChokeArtist411 I mean look at his accomplishments 🤷🏾♂️
He’s really good on social media l…. And … jiujitsu… he’s the best and you
Know he’ll win.
How did they not ask about the slap !?
The first one to play the heel character was not Cassius Clay, it was a professional wrestler by the name of Gorgeous George.
Is it considered disrespectful to call him Clay vs Ali since he changed it? I was never clear on this...
"There is no such thing as bad publicity in show business"
There is a good reason why jiu jitsu players don't talk trash.
Because it's only jiu jitsu it's not MMA fighting
Good interview. We are all human and make mistakes. Gordon is at total asswipe with his behaviour and Galvao recognises he lowered himself to it. Just fight and have fun
I hope that you will win. 🙏🏾
Surprised not to see Gordon in the comments 😂
This is stars war....
Praise God baby
To me it feels like the way to confront those demons and battles on social media is just to fkn fight Gordon. Just do it.
I really wish Galvao was in his prime. He's 39 years old. He's fought in MMA, and has had a long, legendary career in Jiu Jitsu. Gordan is 27 and in his super prime. Gordon is a bully and a total self absorbed, arrogant d bag. I hope Galvao gives Gordo a lesson in humility, but it's a long shot.
Galvao is in his pharmaceutical prime
i loose my shit every time a grappler says " fight"
would have been nice if Andre addressed the slap and what was going through his mind.
I guess so. But I really don’t want Andre’s Legacy to be based on that slap.
A sensitive, honest guy. I never understood why Gordon went after him the way he did. Gordon has a very strong character. He doesn't get emotionally hurt. Going after galvao the way he did was just uncool. Gordon is the GOAT but André is not so far away. These guys should be friends and share skill knowledge to improve the sport. But Gordon seems much more interested in himself first. Too bad.
the baptization happened with the Gordon Slap then?
Everyone can relate to the stress and nonsense of social media influencing them.
Looks like thanos in real life
Put. A. Mic. On. The. Interviewer.
The first BJJ guy to talk a ton of trash was Wallid Ismael. Dude was a nut going at Ryan Gracie all the time.
Relevant facts about their relationship:
1 - they met first time 8 years ago.
2 - Ryan slapped Galvão in the face.
3 - No answer to that until this day.
Yall need a mic🤦♂️🤷♂️
SLAP
What is disturbing in all of this is not Gordon doing what he does for money but his followers: actual adult men enjoying bullying and harassing others on social media. I was never into social media too much but once I started following bjj athletes online I realised that in essence, when there are no direct consequences(as there are no social pressure or danger of confrontation in internet) many people enjoy hurting others. I was a kinda bully as a kid but I grew up and developed some compassion. I thought it's the same for others human beings and that's why we don't see it so much among adults. But in internet I learned that it's all just facade. So many adult people actually do find an enjoyment in hurting other people. They are just forced to behave better by society. There is a lesson in that.
Wait, you're shocked people love drama and trash talk? Do you know who Muhammad Ali is? What about Mike Tyson? Kobe Bryant? Ali actually paid dudes in the Philippines to shoot up Frazier's hotel room to get inside his head. Ali wasn't ever the greatest athlete, but he was the greatest entertainer. These have been truisms since the dawn of sport, and if you think it's an internet phenomenon, then you haven't been paying attention. Gordon isn't giving wedgies to some kid half his size; he's jawing with other players who are equally as vocal toward Gordon. Gordon never talked real shit to Vinny, Buchecha, etc. Why? Because they don't reply all rankled and angry when he talks about beating them.
@@jaykwonzzz No, read my comment again. That's not what I was surprised about. What I was surprised about were people writing comments "I hope you will slap some more dorks" or "break his legs, make him suffer" under his comment.
Also your whitewashing as if Gordon just politely writes that he will beat someone and then responds to others agression is plainly funny. I get you are a fan but you don't have to be delusional at least.
@@viktorg8346 I can see I have to spell this out for you: Ali and the aforementioned competitors are symptomatic of sports culture. You being shocked that people, given the newly participatory element social media adds, are wanting to be involved in the drama is what I find ridiculous. Everything that is happening now has happened before, just on a much smaller scale. You think people talking shit to one another with no threat of reprisal is new? It's culturally frowned upon to smack someone in their face for verbal barbs. People have always been protected by anything from security to the threat of litigation.
To your second point: That's precisely what Gordon does, in so many words. He claims to be better than someone, they then get lippy in retaliation, and he leverages his follower count. That's literally how nearly every back and forth has gone. Some times Gordon doesn't ever let up, such is life. Before you write back, please take the time to read for understanding, and, for the love of God, don't reply with some overly and unnecessarily verbose bullshit (ex. "whitewashing", "plainly" funny); it's unbecoming and unconvincing.
@@jaykwonzzz you don't read with understanding. I didn't say it started with Gordon and it's not my point. What I am saying is also not about Gordon but behaviour of people in general. I do find it disturbing that you can see adult men there enjoying prospect of smacking or attacking random people. This is exactly what I wrote. You tell me to read with understanding yet you don't read yourself.
I will write it is funny because it is funny. It is clearly delusion on your part. Athletes like Tyson Fury write "I am better" and they do that mostly in a respectful manner. Pena does the same and you will hardly find him having so many beefs. What Gordon does is clearly aimed to provoke and offend. He actually doesn't even hide it and often in his interviews he refers to his provocations or his marketing strategy as a whole. If you deny the obvious then delusion is the only rational explanation for that.
It's funny though that you find words as "plainly funny" as oververbose. I am not even native English speaker and I write words that I can. I guess English is difficult even for some natives.
Galvo is 100% right. Gordon should respect others.
Honestly part of me wants Andre to win & other part of me is like sure win Gordan & be more humble 🙏🏼
His name was Muhammed Ali not Cassius Clay.
I think it’s funny because Gordon is good at winning and beating everyone too lol… he’s not only good at leveraging social media 😳🤣
