The Askren thread got me thinking about who the best BJJ specialists are that have shown good wrestling over the majority of their careers, so I wanted to list some.
I'm using 33% success rate as the low point for what is considered good takedowns. Feel free to list people that are a little lower if they fought a bunch of guys with really strong TDD.
Ricardo Arona
48% takedown success
58% TDD

Jacare Souza
40% takedown success
60% TDD

Shinya Aoki
41% takedown success
60% TDD
