Black Belt Super Fight; Nino Schembri x Bill Cooper

[SuperSuperRambo]

Bill by Guillotine.

In the gi? Possible, but that would be a tough feat.

I see Cooper winning on points. He's competing more actively and at a higher level nowadays. The game is constantly evolving and Cooper is on the front lines of it. But I don't think he'll sub Nino.

 

[BJJsb]

I got my money on Bill.

 

[platfox]

I'll go with Nino on this one.

I was the scorekeeper for both of Nino's fights that day. (Kinda funny, they said Nino was getting ready to fight and I asked Fabio, "which mat." He told me and I ran over there and sat down real quick so I could be the scorekeeper.) He fought Kreg Kohl (a Fabio black belt) and Steve Rosenberg (from GD Arizona.) Steve actually competed and looked good at the Mundials this year but Nino rolled through them both and made it look easy. I could barely turn the points over fast enough in one of his matches before he submitted the guy and I was like, "whoa, thank gawd," as I thought I might run out of points.

Bill is younger, probably faster and stronger, but Nino is one of those "prodigy" guys. If the years haven't taken their toll that should be one hell of a fight!!!

Ya I've trained with quite a few high level guy( Tussa, Barata, Marcio Feitosa , Kayron Gracie, Flavio Almedia, ect.) and honestly no one has made me feel more helpless and lost then Nino.

Even though he hasn't been competing much he is still an innovator and on the cutting edge of modern technique. Rolling with him is an amazing experience.

Bill Cooper is an absolute stud but don't think for a second that Nino won't be able to give him all he can handle

Thanks for the suggestions. We are already talking to some of these guys . We are getting close to get couple more super fights confirmed.

EXCELLENT match up. In a superfight I think it is much more interesting as a fan to watch a good match up rather than just settling a grudge or rivalry. Also this is a match we wont get to see at Mudial/Pans/etc which is cool. Some of the matches I listed below are inevitable, but I would really like to see them

Ryan Hall vs Mario Reis
Andre Galvao vs Bill Cooper
Jeff Glover vs Bruno Malfacine
Bruno Frazatto vs Theodoro Canal
Braulio Estima vs Rodrigo Cavaca
JT Thomas vs Marcelo Garcia or Claudio Calasans
Michelle Nicolini vs Tracey Goodell
Robert Drysdale vs Everyone

 

[Podgorny]

Youth vs. Experience, definitely looking forward to this!

 

[Macungah]

Robert Drysdale vs Everyone

I suggest some sort of tag team format.

Andre Galvao vs Bill Cooper would be an exciting match.

Your in Alb? Have you ever rolled with Jacob Benitez? I'm just curious because I know he goes up there to train.

Tag team....Good idea.

 

[MUFC]

Tag team....Good idea.

Nope.

Both at once vs The Roger.

 

[GracieMMABarra]

I have Nino. He is just "that guy" even if he is older now. However I couldn't think of two better grapplers that always go for the submission matching up.

Yes I've trained with Jacob several times. I've visited his school once in Las Cruces. Very nice guy

Roger by choke from the mount....at the same time....yes the SAME time :icon_twis

And I actually have no factual reason why he couldn't actually do it? Damn him.
