How Good Could They Be In Pure BJJ

[SBC]

I have 3 MMA fighters that I have always wondered what they could've been like if they had trained instead of doing MMA BJJ exclusively. They are Jake Shields, Luke Rockhold, and Chris Weidman. I think they could've been great. I'm always rooting for the next American to take gold at Mundials and I think they could've done very well for themselves. Your thoughts?

They probably all would have done well.

Sheilds competed at ADCC and got a bronze.

Luke Rockhold won the worlds at blue and purple.

Weidman gave Galvao a really hard time at purple? at ADCC.

Not to mention that Shields' success in ADCC was comparatively early in his career. Even today he does well in the on-off superfights he does.
