Most physically gifted bjj/no-gi grappler?

[Ring>>Cage]

Jacare De Souza for sure

 

[Xxcx]

I agree with all of the names mentioned, but I am surprised that no one has mentioned BJ Penn.

 

[Deloitte]

Humm dont you forgot Monson guys??

Not really.

 

[BillP3]

Monson is just enormous. Nothing to gifted about that.

 

[FLMikeATT]

Monson is just enormous. Nothing to gifted about that.

Has Monson always been as big as he is these days? I've met him a few times, and he came off like a nice guy, but I find it hard to believe that someone of his stature can naturally be as thick as he is. I'm not accusing him of anything, but his physique is really odd. Kind of like Fujita, but more muscle.

 

[Deloitte]

Yea he's got a weird physique, there's not many 5'9 230 or whatever lbs he is at 6% body fat walking around. Especially not fighters, maybe body builders.

 

[Mikey Triangles]

I think Jacare is the obvious choice here and it would be very difficult to make a valid argument against that.


How about we go for a runner-up? that would be a bit more competitive.


I'm going to have to say Wilson Reis for runner-up.

 

[omgitsrick]

BJ Penn...

Jk

 

[ZakS]

jacare was the first to come to mind. strong, big, fast, explosive.

yea hes already stated that he took banned substances and feels that they should not be illegal or banned.

it might be just me, but i think one arm pullups on a straight bar are more impressive than that video of one arm rope climb. range of motion.

Thats fucking insane, he does them like there nothing.

I would be happy if I were able to do a set of 5 of those in my lifetime

 

[Deloitte]

Fuck that gymnast, I'd submit him.

 

[Fwogz1]

This is better haha, even if its not technically one arm.

pablo popovitch is up there, i mean, if bj penn is bringing him in to get ready for sherk, you know the guy's a beast

 

[Samurai Jack]

Terere in his prime was a beast.
