[bradmeade]

rickson graice is by far the best bjj grappler ever lived with no match going past 3 min

Why does Leo Leite get left out of these lists all the time. I haven't seen his name mentioned one time.

Leo Santos was mentioned like one time... and Robson Moura like one time.... do people know who these guys are?

This thread was started and primarily commented on in 2005... which is why you won't see a lot of names you know to dominate today. I didn't start training until 2007, so this is pretty cool to me.

All the guys I mentioned were dominating before this thread was even started...

 

[DevinTheDewd]

You are totally right. He has indeed been on a tear for a long time.

 

[Ryo]

They didn't win their first world titles until 2007. I'm sure they were killers before that as well though.

Ok... lets try this again.

Leo Leite won his first black belt world championship in 1999...

Leo Santos was dominating the top levels of Jiu-Jitsu in 2002.

Robson Moura was world champion in 1996 (purple) , 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000 (black)

Robson Moura was world champion in 1996 (purple) , 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000 (black)

Moura also won in 2007
Santos won at the Copa do Mundo but not the mundial.
Leite won the Mundials and Copa and had the most success at judo of any bjj player too.

Rodolfo is p4p the man now, no one has any answer for his game in the gi.
