    Youre welcome man..but take note that in pure BJJ..Rickson wins against anyone in mMA today..even Marcelo might be too small for him

    Did you know that Rickson Gracie was ordered by Rorian Gracie and his father Helio to step aside and allow his younger brother Royce to enter the early UFC? It was thought that Rickson would win too easily and no one would believe it.

    If I aint mistaken, they wanted him to step aside, because they wanted Royce to do it because he is smaller than Rickson, and wanted to show that little BJJ guys could beat larger men of other martials arts.

    Eddie Bravo is moved JJ forward more IMHO, but even he will admit there are levels above him yet to be discovered.
