Jason Miller is shitty competition now? Jacare was caught the first fight, and there was not the emphasiz on crosstraining as now.
Galvao loss was a long drawn decision, his late win was also a boring drawn split decision against a relatively average BJJ fighter, you would think that one of the best BJJ guys would beat an average one. If it was against a superb wrestler who kept control or a striker that used superior striking to keep the fight up then yes it would have a point.
The fact is that Galvao simply isn't good at MMA.
Also Roger is god in BJJ, he has yet to prove that he is god in MMA, I can say that Badr Hari is god, and i can show you completely destroying a monster like Overeem who could probably waltz through UFC HW division, but if he came to MMA he could get taken down and beat up.
Why? if you take a fresh BJJ guy out of the blue and put him in modern MMA, he wouldn't be able to takedown anyone, a judoka would probably be able to do it.
The fact is that any MA alone sucks for MMA, the difference is that Brazilians and Americans are better at MMA than the Japanese. People who are well rounded are able to put judo into MMA.
Fedor Emelianenko uses judo and sambo throws easily, and his armbars are great and he never did BJJ, you also have the likes of Ogawa who was a great judoka failing in MMA.
The fact is that MMA is a complete different sport.
Agreed, but a lot of elite Judo BBs, specially in Japan have levels of ground dexterity similar to BJJ blackbelts, for example Kashiwazaki or Yoshida. Because in Japan they still have Kosen Judo and they spend more time training traditional judo which involves a lot of emphasiz on the ground.
Judo its an international sport and you will find a lot of differences between regions.
well see this saturday how bad andre sucks at mma... and to say someone thats 5-1 isnt good for MMA is laughable, guys is starting his carrer and yet only loss one fight... and when did I say miller sucks?
