"Travis Lutter is the Michael Jordan of BJJ... "

- Mike Goldberg, (for those who don't know, he's the former UFC commentator)
​

What other iconic comparisons can you come up with?
(make some up on your own if you want)​

I'll start:

Kamaru Usman is the Tim Duncan of the UFC.
-or- Tim Duncan is the Kamaru Usman of the NBA.​

(for those who don't know, Tim Duncan is/was a 5x NBA champion who is arguably the most boring player in NBA history)​

[Bend NvR Break]

Rory is the future of the WW division

And btw

Tim Duncan aka Mr. Fundamentals is the best PF ever and a top 5-10 NBA player of all time.

 

[Dirge]

Uriah Hall is the next Anderson Silva....

 

[axe wound]

Any given fighter is the GOAT

 

[Volador]

Mike Perry is the black Conor MacGregor.
Mackenzie Dern is the Roy Nelson of the women's SW division.

 

[XThe GreatestX]

boy there is quite a few.

the one in a million thing with ronda
houston alexander is foreal of course

the lutter one was so godamn funny though. Just about died when i heard it the first time

 

[generalyum]

The Travis Lutter one was hilarious cause of Joe's reaction. If Joe wasn't there to promptly correct him, a lot of casuals would have a different idea of Lutter (and Anderson for that matter, since he triangled him).

I remember people comparing Ronda to Mike Tyson at one point lmao

 

[VinnieVincent]

Kelvin Gastelum is the next Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Champion .

 

[AtomicPanther]

You seem to have an extra C in your spelling of idiotic.

 

[Nightwish]

Conor McGregor is the Kobe Bryant of MMA.

[NEB JKD]

Houston Alexander is for real!!!

well, he wasn't

 

[MMAart]

Mike Perry is the black Conor MacGregor.
Mackenzie Dern is the Roy Nelson of the women's SW division.

Nelson's bra size is at most a C.

Dern's is at least a DD .

or were you referring to their BJJ skills?
