About Andy Vs Mica:
Andy made a mistake letting Mica get into his strongest position – closed guard. Mica is a dangerous fighter, but I feel that Andy was a little too unaware at the beginning of the fight.
At the highest level, you can’t blink. You have to be super aware knowing that the person you’re fighting wants to “eat” you.
Andy has great defense and did his very best in the tournament. His time is still to come. I know he’ll overcome all the challenges and it will be beautiful to witness.
We won’t quit. We won’t stop… We’ll keep chasing our goals and dreams 💪🏽
Next up – Brasileiro and Worlds ✨
Let’s go 🤜🏽🤛🏽
