    Or of all time?

    Grapplers/wrestlers/judoka/jiu jitsu practitioners/competitors?

    Mines are Vladimer Khinchegashvili, Vazha Margvelashvili, Khetig Tsabolov, Roman Vlasov, Soslan Ramonov, Sadulaev, Shohei Ono, Avtandili Tchrikishvili, Lasha Shavdatuasvili and Varlam Liparteliani. I don't watch a lot of BJJ, but I am beginning to, recommend me some good guys to watch please.

    I really like Kyle Griffin as his style reminds me of myself. Also Tonon, Buchecha, Mansher Khera, Marcelo, Gui Mendes, Pena just of the top of my head.
