Werdum, Nog or Maia, who's the BJJ Goat?

[JustOnce]

Or we have bunch of guys from BJJ that's coming in that's super elite like Kron, Vieira, Hall in the UFC as well. And outside MMA there are more.

But so far who's the BJJ Goat now and after everything said and done, who will be the BJJ goat?

So combining BJJ and MMA as a whole.

Jacare is a beast, but you know, he fell in love with his striking. Roger might be the best of them all, but his career didn't pan out as much in MMA. Marcelo just had one fight.

I know people might pick Maia, but I think Werdum is greatly under-rated on this forum. Tapped Fedor, Cain and Nog. That is something that Maia has never ever come even close to achieving in this lifetime. I like Maia though.

Maia because his style is dependent on it. But Werdum has submitted bigger names and i agree he's so underrated

Maia is a specialist which makes it harder for him to work his ground game because you know exactly what he’s going to do.

Werdum can threaten you with striking.

Maia. I love Werdum on the ground also. I don't think Nog is on their level.

One of them fought/fights at 170 and 185, the other two fought in a division which naturally has a far smaller pond of talent.

Maia. Never seen Verdum or Nog sweep someone with an omoplata.

Maia. Never seen Verdum or Nog sweep someone with an omoplata.

Did you watch Nog vs Volk?

 

[Naught2Sixty]

Did you watch Nog vs Volk?

 

[EVIL WAR GOD]

Werdum, he subbed Nog who was also subbed by Mir.
He’d also wreck Maia in straight grappling because size matters.

Maia for me because 99 percent of his MMA success can be attributed to his BJJ, where as the other guys relied a lot on other facets of MMA besides BJJ to reach their level of success.

Charles Oliveria deserves a mention
