There's no BJJ Discussion Sherdog Forum, so I'll ask here: Who will be the next BJJ specialist...

[Leonard Haid]

... to get a 10th degree red belt?

If you want a BJJ discussion you can find it here:
https://forums.sherdog.com/forums/standup-technique.11/

That forum is constantly spammed with BJJ trolls.

 

[TheMessiah]

Probably me

 

[Martialbeef]

Izzy. Remember he did something cool on Kelvin?

 

[Leonard Haid]

Probably me

Congrats in advance

I heard Rickson got it after going 401-0.

I posted it in the UFC Discussion forum because it's not a question about grappling technique, and because there's no BJJ Discussion forum.

This is actually where people discuss BJJ, wrestling and basically any form of grappling. I could see why the title would be misleading though, for example, they have a forum for stand-up technique and separate ones for boxing and Muay Thai. I suppose the reason the general grappling discussion sub-forum consolidates technical discussion and sport discussion is because grappling has yet to really take off as a strong spectator sport.

I think the time has come in the evolution of MMA and in the evolution of Sherdog for Sherdog to add a BJJ column and a Wrestling column to the Fight Discussion forum list seeing as how there's a Muay Thai column and a Boxing column. I would hope that those new columns would eventually generate more interest than the already-existing Fantasy Matchup Discussion.

Well, I think it would be more fair to possibly have a separate grappling forum to discuss sport grappling, but to give BJJ a forum over every other style of submission-grappling forum would be a bit unfair. I think perhaps having a submission-grappling forum and a wrestling forum might make sense, perhaps, because for one thing, the sport of no-gi submission grappling brings in basically all the various submission styles under one competitive roof, much like kickboxing does for various striking styles.

Yes, you are 100% correct. That was a complete oversight on my part.

I think you should come to the grappling forum more often if you want to participate in that sort of discussion. It's already been here for a while. Don't forget to look at the stickies up top.

I thought only the founder of an art usually is 10th degree (i.e. Helio) and everyone else is limited to 9th degree?

Charles Oliveira is not new, but the past couple years he has displayed a steady increase in his MMA jiujitsu.

As for new prospects Hooper is promising, but has a lot of work to do on the rest of his game. Ary Farias has been on a 5 fight win streak on the upper regional circuit and barring USADA complications I wouldnt be surprised to see him in The ufc soon
