[DenisDiamond]

champ? Top contender?or can?

champ

 

[ostlerrage]

He made a career out of beating up lw gracies.
Can im afraid.

 

[Levi_]

Top contender, not champ though. He would have a hard time against good strikers with good TD defense.

Doubters need to remember he fought much bigger guys a lot in his career,

 

[SomniumRabidum]

He'd absolutely be a top contender, and if you put him with the right coaches for a year he'd be a lock for champ imo.

 

[brocksakuraba]

Champ for sure!
