Garry Tonon Fight List

Garry Tonon would eventually begin traveling into Manhattan to train at the illustrious Renzo Gracie Academy with John Danaher to build on the foundation developed training with Tom DeBlass and Ricardo Almeida.  DeBlass would award Garry Tonon his black belt in 2013, with Tonon being his first black belt.  Only a month later, Garry Tonon would be at the illustrious ADCC World championships in China taking on a who's who of grappling competitors like Kron Gracie, Roberto Cyborg Abreu, and Marcus Buchecha Almeida.

 For the next 4-5 years, Garry Tonon would compete in a number of very high profile submission grappling matches for organizations like EBI, Metamoris, and Polaris to name a few.

Garry Tonon's Best Fight of All Time

 Garry Tonon's best submission grappling match is hard to nail down.  Some might argue his back and forth match with Kron Gracie within the ADCC where Garry Tonon was able to defend some of the tightest submissions by the Brazilian grappling legend would be the match that truly put Garry on the map as one of the most exciting grapplers in history.

His match with brutal leg locker Rousimar Palhares in the Polaris grappling promotion in England could also be argued as his greatest match.  The back and forth battle between the much larger Brazilian, known to violently finish leg submissions and who had been released by the UFC for his penchant to hold a submission far after a referee stoppage, will go down in history as a true nail-biter.  Though no clear victor was named and the match was determined to be a draw, Garry Tonon's performance was a clear victory for his brand and his reputation as a gamer who would take on any opponent.
