Demian maia Is a 4th degree BJJ black belt and an ADCC champ. You don't know what this means, clearly.I understand grappling well enough to know Gunnar Nelson can't hold a candle to Demian Maia, the future 170 lb Champ.
Gunnar tested himself against Maia on the ground. And failed. He's still young, Improving. Things change with time. He has a ridiculous amount of potential though. If he pulls It all together, I could definitely see him being the champ one day. I don't know that he's ready for such a thing yet though. I believe he holds a unique mentality / mindset. One which is very commonly found amongst champions. I suppose that's the biggest contributing factor In me believing Gunnar may be champ one day.
It's all very speculative though. I don't say anything In absolute terms. This Isn't the most serious thread I've ever made.
Anything can happen. He's definitely someone to watch out for though.
