Kurt Pellegrino enlists Marcelo Garcia to prepare for UFC 116 bout

Kurt Pellegrino is pulling out the big guns to
prepare for his bout with George Sotiropoulos at UFC
116.

The UFC lightweight next week heads to New York City to begin private
training with Marcelo Garcia, a three-time Abu Dhabi Combat Club champion and one of the
most decorated grapplers in the world.

“I’m going to try to build not just a bridge but a whole little town,
maybe a whole little city,” Pellegrino told MMAjunkie.com on Thursday. “Just keep getting better.”
