Werdum the only dangerous BJJ grappler with great striking?

[Goodyroom]

K1 Maia, decorated BJJ Grappler and I think he trains at KINGS MMA with Werdum

 

[HelloJapan]

Jacare.

I think K1 Maia shoulda been a hint lol

Jacare's striking isn't as diverse or technical as Werdum's, but it is more explosive and definitely effective. He is someone who is scary to face for most fighters even on the feet. TBH, I would rather have to get punched in the face by Werdum than Jacare.

I cant think of any other BJJ expert with a complete (and entertaining) striking game.

Is werdum the only one?

Great striking? Its decent and improved, but not great. Vitor Belfort would be a better example. But going way back to the ultimate example, Marco Ruas.

Jacare's stand up has looked pretty solid lately. I think his name is worth mentioning in this thread.

Sobral is originally from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and began competing in wrestling from a young age of nine. Sobral later went on to be a South American Wrestling Champion in 1998, a three-time Brazilian National Wrestling Champion in 1998, 1999, and 2000, and was a Brazilian National Muay Thai Champion in 1992. Sobral joined the Gracie Barra Combat Team and trained in Ruas Vale Tudo, a martial arts system developed by Marco Ruas

The Nog Brothers were excellent strikers.

In 1997 Penn began training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Ralph Gracie, eventually earning his purple belt from Gracie.[17] At that point he moved to Nova União where he was eventually awarded his black belt in 2000 by Andre Pederneiras.[17] A few weeks later he became the first non-Brazilian to win the black-belt division of the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[18] While Penn's most well-known and prestigious achievement was placing first in the black belt division in the 2000 world championships, he had success at the Mundials in previous years. In 1999, at the age of 20, Penn finished 3rd, earning himself a bronze medal in the brown belt division, losing only to Fernando "Tererê" Augusto, and in 1998, earned a silver medal, placing 2nd in the blue belt division.[19] Penn is thought to have earned the fastest legitimate black belt of all active Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners

Mir is a good striker, but is slow.

Anderson Silva is probably the best example of all time.

He's not an elite BJJer. Not even close.

 

[JohnnyTowers]

He might not be the only one. But he sure makes it look easy.

And he's got the most rugged good looks.

Gunnar Nelson

BJ was a monstah everywhere

 

[Spath]

No mention of A. Pettis? I think his ground game is really dangerous as he showed against Benson Henderson. I don't think anyone doubts his striking skills...

I don't know if he's really elite, but for sure he is dangerous.

Jacre is dangerously good. He backed Gegard back several times and maul Okami like he was nothing. His BJJ speaks for itself. If he grabs you, he's going to submit you

Roy Nelson.

Aldo's grappling is overlooked because he's the best striker in MMA today.

Jacare is getting close. Dude wobbled Mousasi.

I wouldn't put Aldo's MMA submission game up there with Werdum or Jacare. No matter how good it may be, he hardly ever uses it. Even Pettis (much lower BJJ credentials) is more aggressive and effective at getting submissions.

I agree about Jacare.
