Gabi Garcia is currently getting ready for ADCC and defending her title. After winning her fourth BJJ world title, it looks like she could move on to MMA. She has revealed in an interview with Tatame that she has lost some motivation because of lack of strong competitions from other competitors:
“I want to figh MMA now. I don’t know when I will fight on a GI again. I’m unmotivated, not because I think I’m invincible, but we need to find another challenge. Many people is not fighting the absolute class, focusing on the weight classes, and I need another goal in life. If I am able to get down my weight, and if UFC or other events begin to have bigger weight classes, I will get down my weight as much as possible. Now I am going to train to defend my titlle in the ADCC.”
“I was invited to train in Curitiba, Miami, at Blackzilians and even Demian Maia opened his gym doors to me. I’ve already trained a lot of boxing, but I’ve got no basis on Muay Thai. So, the day I decide (to move to MMA), I’ll focus on the best person an team. With four absolute world championships I can spend some years resting and no one will pass me (laughter). I don’t know if I’ll be back next year. What I did to women’s jiu-jitsu is marked on the sport’s history and these titles no one can take from me.””
