Karate blackbelts in MMA

[Hotora86]

If there was such a thing as no-gi Judo - then I think it would be just as good as wrestling for Kudo.

Thanks for the interesting read!
As for no-gi Judo - I'm pretty sure that's what Ronda, Karo, Aoki and the like actually drill the most for MMA.

I was shocked and saddened to find out today that one of the great athletes mentioned in this thread - Ryan Jimmo - was killed yesterday in a hit and run incident.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends. RIP Ryan Jimmo.

Nikita Krylov

Thanks a lot, added him to the list.
Not sure what Dan rank he holds but as a certified "master of sports" it's gotta be at least 1st Dan.
