I have seen shit none have you seen!! I got my Black from Rigan machado 6 years ago. I am good friends with Ricksons american Black belts. only 4 of them!! I grew up with BJJ as my religion!! I was friends with Rockson Gracie (Ricksons Gracie's son).
For me to be Rigan Machado Black belt and say Rickson Grace is the can get me into serious political problems.
But people who know me, know i will call it how i see it!!!
Rickson is the fucking best to ever grapple or fight!!! PERIOD!!!!
MMA 11-0 record? lol.. Keep in mind that was his Pride record. He fought in Brazil before the word mixed martial arts ever existed!! Because MMA didnt exist, his fights never happened?? His fights are real, he is the real deal!! His fight against ZULU was a war!! Over an hour!!! Before Rickson stopped ZULU, ZULU beat everybody in brazil!! ZULU lost 2 times to Rickson Gracie.
I saw him lay on his back and hold a conversation with other people in the room and Play with Royce Gracie. No hands, and not even looking at him. Was able to finish him at will!!!
I saw him line up 5 different world BJJ campions and tool all 5 one after the other as if they had no idea what was going on!!
He took on all commers!! He beat the best at his time. But he had the "fuck you pay me" mentality. which was the right mentality.
Rickson Gracie's time has passed, he has nothing to prove. And dont even think about comparing him to his brothers, cousins and nephews. It would be very disrespectful!!
As for Fador; he is good and the guy to beat right "now".
But if BJJ and mma is is your religion, Rickson Gracie is your maker!!
Who am I???? I have wrestled all of these guys in tounys and competitions, and behind closed doors. I speak from first hand experiences and observations!! I trained and have wrestled with all of the guys you look up to on tv. You need to be my level in BJJ to have any comprehension On the true skill level of Rickson Gracie.
And there will never be another Rickson Grace!!
No disrespect to anybody here. I really mean that! But if you want to slam my post ask your self, "how many people did i fight, wrestle or corner to make such factual "expert" claims?"
