Grappling-esset Andre Galvao (5-2) var en av många som deltog på uttagningen för The Ultimate Fighter 13. Som världsmästare i BJJ och ADCC 2a så gick det inte helt oväntat bra för honom och han fick, precis som Magnus Cedenblad, göra alla tre testerna. Han säger sig nu vara väldigt nära en plats i huset, det enda problemet kan dock vara engelskan.
We went through a test, we’ve shown some of our Jiu-Jitsu skills, they raffled some guys, and you had to do the grappling with the guy. I did it with an American, it was quick, about one and a half minute. Then we started to do gauntlet and then there was an interview. If you passed one test, they’d give you another one. On my group there were 20 people, and there were only 5 left for the interview. I was one of them, I was interview and they’ve approved me, but maybe they like other guys better on the interview. Now I don’t know if I made it or not. I’ll just have to wait for them to call me.
The interview is exactly about that, they want to know your English level. I speak English, I can get things, I can read, I understand what people say and I communicate well. They’ve approved me on the test and let’s see if they’ll let me get in there with my English level, but I can speak good English. There are guys there that can’t. I think I’m a purple belt on English, fourth grade on the purple belt.
