Who's the THIRD best BJJ and Sambo fighter of all time?

[kflo]

Alex might have had faster hands than Vitor at middleweight. Super talented, but i dont think he gave a fuck.

His grappling was so bad too

and yet he was a combat sambo fias world champion.....

It's too vague, are you talking about the best BJJ guys who accomplished the most in MMA? Or guys who are BJJ fighters who accomplished the most solely in BJJ?? Or just guys who've displayed the best BJJ in fights?

I've no clue what you've ranked this on, either way, I wouldn't have either guy as the top 2.

I would say Mir or Chucky Olives, for the sheer number of subs, should be in the discussion for 3rd best BJJ player in MMA.

For judo, it's Ronda and Karo.

For Sambo, what about Vovchyanchin?

tell me this is a joke.

I think Oleynik (sp) should be pretty high up there for Sambo. He makes submissions work that nobody else seems to be able to.

Oleinyk has insane strenght and grip power. Those ezekiel chokes asks alot

that is a good question. a name i haven't seen mentioned is kharitonov.
dont know his credentials but he has a good ground game too.

sambo doesnt really matter but, the 3rd best grappler who practices it would be Fedor top two are khabib and islam. BJJ would be lovato.
