There was a lot of scrutiny on BJJ Stars 10 considering they invited a number of BJJ athletes that were recently suspended for substantial periods of time by USADA. This is a departure from how suspensions were previously treated, considering that neither Mica Galvao nor Roberty Cyborg seem to be affected beyond not being able to enter IBJJF competitions.
Galvao had a much anticipated match with ATOS talent Kaynan Duarte.
During the early portion of the match, Kaynan seemed determined to look for a leg entanglement. But after Galvao defended the first attack, the two went on and rolled inward, which is a known way of injuring an opponent and is outlawed by the IBJJF rulebook.
Galvao seemed instantly affected, and a medical team had to be hailed.
There are speculations based on tests the medic did that Galvao’s ACL was torn. ACL typically requires surgery to repair and rehabilitation takes as long as 9 months in some cases.
