Marcelo Garcia has always be a very classy and well loved individual. He never had any beef with his competitors and is arguably together with Roger Gracie, the GOAT of BJJ.
He recently gave an inspiring speech in front of his students in NYC about how to celebrate a victory in BJJ. He recommends to downplay a victory and “act like you’ve been there before”.
At one point, he talks about some people celebrating to showing the middle finger. This is probably in reference to Gordon Ryan celebrating that way at ADCC 2019 which produced this epic picture of Marcelo looking at Gordon:
