Grappling Report: Andre Galvao reveals plans to return to MMA in 2021

Andre Galvao is one of the biggest names in submission grappling and at 38, he’s still at the very top of his game as the reigning ADCC superfight champion. At one point, he even had a promising MMA career that saw him compete for both DREAM and Strikeforce, although he decided to retire to focus on grappling after a savage knockout in his seventh fight at the hands of future UFC World Champion Tyron Woodley.

Now it seems like Galvao is not yet done with his MMA career after all. The BJJ legend announced on social media that he planned to return to the cage over a decade since he last set foot in it, planning on 2021.
