While “Never leave it in the hands of the judges” has become an
ever-present part of MMA vernacular, Nova Uniao product Marcos Galvao might as well have it tattooed on his arm.
In his Bellator Fighting Championships debut, Galvao lost a

company’s season-five bantamweight tourney semifinals, “Loro” was still deemed the
loser by one of the three cageside judges.
So as Galvao prepares to take on Alexis Vila at Saturday night’s Bellator 55 event, you’ll understand of he’s a little wary of
three officials bearing pen and paper.
