    The video quality picks up after 2 minutes, when the grappling actually begins.

    Rickson is a beast. If there is a guard you don't want to be in its his.

    Cheers, Royler is well known & respected worldwide for his BJJ skills, it just shows the level in which Rickson is at... the best BJJ practitioner ever ?
    Very possibly.

    Ps. I would have slapped that ***** with the camcorder, a great BJJ match between 2 of the best & that ******* spends about 50 seconds showing us the rest of the class, what a ***** :fire

    Very nice, but GSP would destroy a prime Rickson in his guard.

    If we are talking MMA, it is certainly possible.

    GSP is certainly better off in Rickson's guard than Rickson would be with GSP in his guard.

    This is inevitable, but Rickson's legend and Rickson's reality are now two totally seperate ideas. It's possible that he was the best ever, its certain that he is still not as good as some would lead you to believe.

    :lol:You're out of your mind if you dont think GSP wont make Rickson his personal dummy partner in an MMA match.

    First, Rickson loves top position..(and he works hard for takedowns)well guess what? he will not in a million years take down George. Plus as sloppy as he is striking as evidenced by his PRIDE fights (yes they are on film).. GSP has an 80% chance of knocking him the **** out before he can even attemp a takedown, if hes stupid enough.

    third, just for fun GSP will shoot at him like a freaking train and will take him down so hard he may go out. And then when hes on top, elbows that cannot be stopped even in Ricksons dream will start to rain down. But GSP, class guy that he is will show mercy.

    GSP is the man who shakes a deep omoplata from BJ 3 years ago like it was practice, this is GSP version 3.0 were looking at now.

    Gracie family wouldnt like this matchup, they may have to offer Rickson 10 mil for him to consider it.

    I just posted the footage of Rickson and Royler, because I enjoyed it.

    Now people want to bring up GSP, and current mma. That was not my intention with this footage. I believe Rickson to be the best grappler ever, though that may mean more in real fighting than today's mma scene. In a real fight; there are no time limits, no rounds, and no stand-ups.

    To say that Rickson would be outpointed by GSP is one thing. To say that Rickson would be in danger is another. Rickson would have no fear of GSP in his guard. Under today's rules, the fight may get restart after restart, as Rickson would not simply let GSP ground and pound him. Rickson would most likely hold and stall, then force a restart. In a bout with no stand up's or time limits, GSP would be held into a boring position until he gave Rickson room to submit him.

    The following quotes are from Paulo Fihlo after training with a 47 year old Rickson Gracie

    Nice post but not gonna happen, GSP will push him against the fence ala BJ and beat him with elbows from there. Rickson cannot take GSp down, its not possible. GSP doesnt need to take Rickson down unless Rickson starts flopping.

    And also forcing a restart, they would stand you up right?..again its not fair because the Gracies did alot for MMA and they do deserve respect.
