STRENGTHS
Marcio Cruz is an incredibly gifted grappler who truly possesses a world class jiu jitsu pedigree. He’s a huge threat any time the fight hits the mat, where he shows beautifully technical and fluid skills from any position on the ground. He’s widely regarded as one of the top Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioners of his generation, and has proven himself at the most prestigious tournaments in the world. His arsenal consists of fantastic transitions and sweeps, and a superb submission game. Cruz shows good ground and pound skills, showcasing good elbows and punches from top position.
WEAKNESSES
