His jits looked promising against Kelvin. Seems like a natural.

Grats to him. Galvao is no joke, a purple belt under him means something.

Yep congrats to him but im still amazed how he made it that far without atleast brown belt level jitsu. The man is a goddamn champ and has defended his belt two times. All while being a blue belt.. Crazy. So impressed by Adesanya always thought Grappling would be his downfall happy hes working hard on it now.
 
The only people who have tried to take him down have been wrestlers.
His BJJ skills have not been tested, although he is a freak of nature in striking, it does translate to other disciplines so I'd expect him to hang just fine.
 
Izzy > Maia. Remember that time he looked active from bottom once in a fight?

His frame is built for jiu jitsu. Plus All the hip flexor strength / fluidity, core, lower kinetic development and creative mind from striking and dancing basically gives him the perfect avatar for advancing rapidly. He had all the bases covered before he ever hit the mats.
 
I hate Izzy but there's no denying that he's creative,improving and willing to learn when it comes to BJJ.

Mountain with training would kill him imo

I know that's a much smaller hobby black belt, but he just rolled over him with size, strength and athleticism

No doubt bigger Comp black belts would have their way with Hafthor, but size, strength and athleticism matter big time
 
More butt bumps incoming.

Gonna be interesting to see if he tries to implement more ground game to his fights as he continues to get better.
