Who is the best sleeper grappler in the UFC?

[Red Son]

I don’t think Alexy Olyneik’s grappling is acknowledged enough. I think it gets over shadowed by his age therefore I consider him to be a sleeper.

people forget he is a 4th degree BB under Ricardo Liborio and had *45* submission wins.

Couldn't last 30 seconds with Gordon Ryan though

Jared Cannonier*

Shit yeah, my bad. I always get those 2 mixed up.

 

[FIMN]

Not sure if he counts, but Cláudio ‘Hannibal’ Silva is a bad motherfucker who loves tapping people. I guess he’s fairly well known though, so might not be what you’re looking for, TS.

 

[Cobra Kai]

Lyoto Machida, Holly Holm, and Jon Fitch come to mind. Also, Jorge Masvidal had some sleeper grappling against Toby Imada in their first match.

 

[Evangelion]

You always get these guys who no one has heard of that somehow have more grappling credentials than the somewhat mainstream folk. Pantoja, Gil Burns, Davi Ramos etc.

Anyone stand out?

This is your chance to hipster the fuck out amidst a page full of garbage Cerrone Conor hot takes. Don't underestimate everyone's intelligence and claim Blaydes is a sleeper anything.

Rodolfo Viera is an Ufc noob but an absolute stud.
