Top 30 BJJ fighters of all time in MMA history

[fedoriswar37]

Submitted Estima. One mistake doesn't neglect all skills.

And hardy said it himself, he's made of rubber which makes him very hard to submit with joint-focused subs. If GSP knew that, he would of went for the choke im pretty sure.

GSP subbed Bisping, who was only subbed once in his career before, by Rockhold.
He subbed Hughes, who's no slouch on the ground.

6 subs wins total, 2 of them against top 3, the other against top 10.

MAia has failed to sub many guys that he should have subbed, does that make him a bad BJJ practitionner?

Lesser fighters would've locked in that armbar Vs Hardy. They just would have broke his arm. GSP was too nice for his own good

I personally prefer Maia's BJJ record compared to Werdum, who fought at 221lbs +

Maia had to face prime Roger Gracie, prime Jacare, prime Xande Ribeiro, prime Marcelo Garcia (lighter but a damn phenom), prime Cyborg, young Lovato Jr, Romulo Barral and Braulio Estima. All these guys were physically in their primes, and fighting at their natural weight except for MG who can out-point you on pure technique.

Maia basically fought during one of the most TOUGHEST BJJ talent pools in grappling history.

Werdum's 2 World Titles and ADCC victory don't mean as much compared to Maia's quality, at least to me.

Fair point.
