Eddie Bravo vs Parrumphinha - Green Whale Interview

[Green Whale]

http://greenwhaleproductions.com/parrumpinha.html

Parrumpinha (American Top Team) has beaten some of the worlds best, and he is the only man to pass Leo Vieras guard in competition. We did an interview with him just a week away from his no gi grappling match against Eddie Bravo on November 12th. Enjoy and thanks...

Eddie is fighting in a gi match? That is surprising.

 

[Cynic]

It says, "No Gi superfight".

 

[Ken'Oh]

thx green whale for this interview

Guy has great credentials. Should be a good match. I thought Bravo was hurt, though.

 

[Soulfly]

Interesting that he trains with gi until 4 weeks before the actual match. I'd be training no gi all day and all night if I knew I was going into a no gi competition.

 

[Spoonman7]

Sounds like this could be a great fight. Good luck to both men

i heard roger gracie does the same and only trained no-gi a month before ADCC 2005

Yeah that's true. Leozinho only sheds the gi two weeks before competition!!

 

[blanko]

so does Royler Gracie and marcello Garcia...

 

[VampireMonk]

Go Eddie Go!!!

good luck bro!

 

[Gsoares2***]

Marcos "Parrumpinha": My resume is:

1999 BJJ Panamerican Runner-up (Miami, FL) - Losing to Royler in a close match
2000 BJJ World Championship Runner-up
2000 BJJ Brazilian National Champion

FL ADCC SWO Superfight Champion - Broke ADCC score record 44X0 over
2003 ADCC Japan Qualifier winner

wow, only person to ever score a guard pass against leo viera

Uh oh, it seems like eddie has some tough competition. Neither of them are awesome wrestlers, but marcos says he specializes in passing guards... sounds exciting.

I met Parrumpinha before i movd back to ny he opened a gym like 5 minutes from my house I was so f$%ken piised off when I saw it, but I went to meet him, the guy is unbeliveably nice, I have never met a nicer person and so kool too. His gym is realtively cheap to train in considering his reputation. When I go back to WPB, Fl in a year I plan on training there hopefully
