Galvao promotes Izzy to Purple, Izzy cries.

Not really crazy. Duarte is one of the top jiu-jitsu competitors of Atos. Rodolfo pretty much retired from sport grappling five years ago to focus on MMA.

Sport BJJ and MMA BJJ are not the same, sport BJJ is way more specialized.

MMA guys doing sport BJJ matches are similar to MMA guys doing boxing matches.

Its crazy because i remember Rodolfo from his bjj days not his mma days.

Gordon once said "nah only athlete in our gym is nicky rod, the rest of us are just really good" lol
anyway, like I said, maybe in a couple of years, but so far, Gordon is so far and ahead of everyone. I hate that his buchecha match was decided on a warning penalty. now marcus is retired so anti-climatically.

Buchecha is not really that good in nogi compared to his gi game. Gordon would've of sub buchecha eventually. I'm glad we have someone like Duarte at least to be his rival I'm the next few years. Should make things interesting and exciting.
