Just YouTube jt Taylor and Matt lindland face off. Reminds me of the WWE, how appropriate
I still cannot figure out how to use that thing. It is just discussion groups yeah? Everyone I find that is Portuguese related has like 5 posts...nothing going on.
mylanguageexchange.com works better for me.
Is there something I am missing?
So far at least two of you in this thread have commented that Roy Dean doesn't compete, and yet here is a video of him competing at the 2009 Mundials (and winning his first match):
Again, I have no idea if any of this is true, and I have never met JT, so this may all be a ridiculous misunderstanding or troll.

So a black belt named JT Taylor and MMA trainer/fighter called out Roy Dean. Apparently, JT thinks Roy Dean is a pussy or something of the sort. To make it better, this was on a facebook status!!!
JT is a LEGIT black belt under Marcelo... The dude's BJJ is awesome, there is no doubt about it. Though, he gets a lot of shit from people because a lot of people think he's a jerk and simply rude.
However, I have no clue as to why he dislikes Roy. Roy has always seemed really chill and calm to me. I've never seen any disrespect from the guy.
1) How does one respectfully 'call out' or offer a challenge to another BJJ practitioner?
2) To anyone who knows Roy Dean, would he respond?

I found this random "I sure would like to choke Roy Dean out" on FB:

Looks like they're both in the same general neighborhood in the northwest. On his blog a couple years ago, Roy Dean specifically thanks JT Taylor for putting a local tourney together.
It really just seems like A) Roy is well-respected and established in Oregon, and B) JT is jealous / trying to scare up some business of his own. The hard way, of course, would be to earn it. The easier way is to talk shit about Roy Dean and when Dean doesn't take the bait because he doesn't have the same things to prove that you do, you can try convincing people he's scared. Maybe like trying to look hard in front of Matt Lindland even though you're never gonna really dance with him.
These are all just guesses, of course.
