Who is better at BJJ: Maia or Babalu?

[VanMMA]

Both guys are excellent at BJJ. Babalu really impressed me when he submitted Mike Van Arsedale.

What do you think?

Really?

Maia. But I had never heard of the other guy.

end yourself

 

[Will Samuelson]

Don't sleep. Babalu was a pioneer.
MVA was no joke.

 

[Idonotbelieveit]

Maia rapes him 9.9 out of 10

 

[Unsurprised Diaz]

Babalu is a side show in BJJ while Demian is the Maian Event

 

[Chillez]

Maia by landslide this isn't even close.

Agreed

Maia is different class though

you missed some great fights then.....

and TS

Babs was a mother fucker and a great grappler but he got nothing on Maia.
Both in pure BJJ and MMA grappling Maia would own him

 

[wilKO]

Maia is way better than Babalu. But both guys suck at BJJ compared to Seraldo Babalu who is the best LHW of the night

 

[shaffmeister]

Cmon man

 

[Dogo1]

Maia's bjj might be better but Babalu was nasty on the ground

 

[Soul On Ice]

Both are decent but neither are the Michael Jordan of it

This is true, he went heads up in wrestking with Couture. But the RNC was his cryptonite. Kinda like Rumble.


The thing I wonder is, would Babalu be able to submit Tito. And even, would he take Tito down? He was a solid wrestler in his own right.

Seraldo Bambaloo is good, but Maia is elite

Don't call him a mother fucker. He will choke you and not let go
