Who has the best bjj at WW

[hswrestler]

Colby Covington is known for his grappling and all

but CM Punk was on another level.

 

[Ara tech]

Colby has a strong wrestling background that was always shown and felt, but his bjj skills were always without any depths.

Yaroslav Amosov, Ramazan Kurmagomedov, Logan Storley have better BJJ skills than Colby even if the former come from Sambo, and the two latters from wrestling.

 

[JBJ was here]

Gunnar Nelson. Never submitted, 7/8 on UFC submission attempts, bjj black belt at 21. Pretty clear, really.

WW doesn't have much in the way of good bjj these days.

 

[Conor Strickland]

Currently in the UFC? Isn't Sean Brady one of the best at BJJ in WW?

 

[CrimsonFan]

Burns?

 

[OldBoy91]

Gilbert Burns. He's a bjj world champ.

Next it's probably Gunnar Nelson.

Adapted for MMA Sean Brady is up there because he has the dual wrestling/bjj offensive threat.

 

[BJJ4Tone]

On paper, Burns. In reality, probably Belal or Shavkat.

Does he still fight?
If so, I'd agree with you. Though it's hard to forget the image of Maia grapple-fucking the shit out of him.

 

[Conan the K-9]

For some reason Belol didn’t want to go to the ground with one armed Gilbert.

Yeah but Maia was Maia.

I thought they were both retired but who knows?

Is this the guy that trump called "little pimp"?

Neither did Khamzat, it really just goes to show how good Burns’ BJJ is.

He sticks to the gameplan. It's something he's actually really good at, but he wont deviate from it.

Are you saying that, his jiujitsu is better than Gilberts, but we didn’t see that because his coaches made a plan based on avoiding any grappling with Burns?
Or what do you mean?

Or what do you mean?

No i am not saying his jiujitsu is better than Gilberts. I am saying that the gameplan was to keep it standing. So even though Gilbert got injured, he just stuck to what he was gonna do anyway.

His corner probably told him to stick to it too.

Maia was an amazing BJJ guy.

It's too bad he had a spot of bother actually getting it to the ground

I still remember his dolphin dives for Masvidal's legs lol

Maia is in top ten for most takedowns landed in UFC history. It wasn't pretty at times, but he was pretty good at getting it to the ground. He arguably picked up wresting better than any other BJJ guy. He just struggled with takedowns against stud wrestlers like Usman and tryon etc etc, guys who everyone on the roster would struggle to takedown. Unfortunately, those times when Maia struggled with takedowns, happened to be in some of his highest profile fights.

 

[Bojka]

Khamzat was scared to be on the ground with Burns.

Got that fight IQ too.
