colinm said:thanks for the link, good article. it was a bummer to hear fabio gurgel and roger being kind of resistant to training seriously other arts. imo, roger should go the route of renzo, crosley, and rodrigo and learn some striking. if they don't set up their takedowns well, everyone they face is going to bust out the chuck liddel strategy. btw, anyone know if crosley and rodrigo are fighting again soon? jacare could be really good, he's got pretty solid takedowns.
I don't think that is a very accurate anaolgy. A lot of people feel that BJJ is just a subset of MMA. These guys are warriors at heart. Warriors want challanges. They want to test themselves to see how good they can get. If there is no challange left for them in BJJ, they know there will be a monumental challage awaiting them in MMA. Plus if they truely love their art they want to take it into MMA and win with it, showign that it is a great art.Gsoares2 said:But if your passion is jiu jitsu why change it? If you can be phenominal at jiu jitsu.. why give that up to become mediocre at mma?
Its like asking Derick Jeter to take up Cricket.

Gsoares2 said:Nah Saulo is older... In his instructional videos he says he is 30.. and i dont know how long ago those were made.
My old Jiu-jitsu teacher is only 26 but he looks like he is in his mid-30's like asians that are 30 but look 26...genetics what a trip..Wolverine said:Xande trains me and he does not look, nor does he act like he is 23.
