Interesting tidbit:

Roger has not been submitted in competition since he was a blue belt.

This.

That's like, just about the one word that you can't use there though.

Dude is practically, virtually the king of BJJ.

Jacare is way ahead of Roger in MMA. I want to see Ronald take big middleweights now while Roger paves his way to build a name himself.

lo, no.

Jacare >>> Roger rankingwise, and I hope people realise that as soon as Roger wont be able to take a fight down vs a decent MW UFC guy, he will be tooled and often finished by strikes. Jacare has much better muay thai and TD's thank Roger...and also,. Roger has poor cardio.

Roger wont do very well in the UFC, he might get a few sub wins but I think he is going to be KO'd/TKO'd often.

I am not convinced we are going to see Roger Gracie in the UFC. He probably fights for at least a decent paycheck, and if you want to be paid well in the UFC you have to fight pretty good guys. A lot better than the guys he fought (or at least beat). I think a lot of people there (Jacare included) can defend his takedowns and batter him on the feet. I see him as a guy who probably quits MMA all together after another stoppage or two.

Jacare's standup is way better than Gracie's at this point. I agree that Jacare should get someone like Weidman, or Okami, while Gracie should fight some mid-tier guys first until his striking gets up to par.
