Who has the better pure BJJ, Fabricio Werdum, Jacare Souza, Ryan Hall, or Damien Maia?

[91 seconds]

Jacare is the best pure grappler credential wise. Who ever picked Maia over jacare are pretty ignorant to all greats bjj players.

When I voted I was a bit suprised Maia had almost double the votes.

Top 5 in bjj from the old school are

Jacare

Roger

Marcelo

Terrea

Saulo

It's amazing to think how good Maia is and yet he isn't even a top 10 all time BJJ practitioner at his own weight


Honestly of these 4 Jacare .

 

[BigMuffler]

lmao all of these fighters are fuckin goofs

You do not support real fighting.

 

[Dana_is_your_GOD]

Fuck I can't chose.

 

[Dana_is_your_GOD]

Werdum credential wise. Maia MMA wise. Ryan hall GI and leglocks. Jacare well rounded and top game..

Mother fuck

 

[cobrinski]

Fabrique

Probably Maia. Jacare is great but he's also extremely strong where Maia is all technique.

Random but does anyone know a Shaun Williams? I heard he was really good in the underground scene and his bjj was godly

Demian Maia is physically stronger p4p than the others which is why some would argue he's not as technical because his strength misleads.

Werdum credential wise. Maia MMA wise. Ryan hall GI and leglocks. Jacare well rounded and top game..

Mother fuck

I think it's Jacare credential wise over Werdum

When we look at their records, we have to say Jacare. I wonder what would Royce think of these 3.

This made me realize one thing again. The MW division as a whole is underrated because of Bisping. The best BJJ guy in MMA with very good other MMA-related skills can't even fight for the title in that division. I thought he won the Romero fight just like what most people including the media and commentators thought (on top of that apparently Romero himself told him that Jacare won just after the fight) and then he would eventually be given a title shot. So, he's also unlucky.

The WW division only consists of two top tier guys and thanks to that Maia got his shot. Woodley's gonna beat him real bad.

I could concede that. Pretty close title wise. However the backpack is the best when it comes to MMA.

for sure

 

[Roop Holstry]

It was an easy choice for me.

Jacare all day

Maia is not just technique. People who've rolled with him say he is deceptively strong.

Bahahha I went to Maia's wiki to look into his grappling history a little and saw his nickname is listed as "the backpack"


Sherdoggers are exactly the retards that shouldn't be editing wikis lol

 

[DorianGray]

There is some serious misunderstanding in this thread: Maia is great and he has fantastic MMA BJJ, also he is one of my favorite fighters. But in pure BJJ credentials he is FAR beyond Jacare or Werdum. He was never an IBJJF world champ nor an ADCC champ.

*behind. Beyond has an opposite meaning in this context. If you;re a native english speaker and simply made a mistake then just ignore this message.

 

[fortheo]

Straight up BJJ?

Jacare then Maia.

All around grappling?

Maia

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Maia beats th3m all imo
