Royale with Cheese

My BJJ coach is one of the best in the world. He was the first black belt in Georgia. Got his black belt from Pedro Sauer. All the Gracies know him and respect him. This is Royce 3rd time coming to our school. Rener Gracie texts him a lot about BJJ. He was texting him before Brian Ortega fought the Korean Zombie....talking gameplans.

Diaz is a better grappler. Khabib is a better grappler. Poirier is a better grappler. These are the elite high level black belt grapplers. Conor isn't at the elite level they are in....yes. Khabib is a smothering grappler. He pins the legs where you can move then moves into position. He dominated him big time. But Khabib also did it to Gathje and Poirier too. Eddie Alvarez is a high level grappler. Donald Cerrone is a high level grappler. He beat them standing up because on the ground, he's not winning. You know who else is a high level grappler? Roy Nelson. He just never goes to the ground for whatever reason. Same with Wanderlie Silva. They prefer striking. With Poirier, even when he was on his back, he didn't sustain tremendous damage. He did land 2-3 strong elbows but if Conor was garbage, Poirier would have passed his legs easily and moved into mount....but he didn't. Conor was actually able to keep him back....I was very impressed with that.

In two weeks, I get to train with Royce Gracie.

I guess Gilbert Burns, Eddie Bravo and Dillon Danis frauds? What makes you think his BJJ is bad…serious question. He has been submitted twice. Once by the greatest grappler in MMA history. The other by a high level Black Belt after being rocked.

@Buffalo716 Wanna hear something cool?

Yes, those are BJJ specialists. Conor is more of a stand up fighter. Just because he doesn’t prefer the ground doesn’t mean he’s garbage there. BJJ is not just about submissions. Its your defense, its your body control, its your timing, its the way you cut angles etc…. Im about a year away from my purple belt. The brown belts mop the floor with me as they should….2 of them are 60. If you’re at a legit school, your belt is legit. Conor’s BJJ coach is Dillon Danis, one of the best in the world. If you’re a brown belt under him, you’re legit. https://www.bjjee.com/articles/gilbert-burns-conor-mcgregors-jiu-jitsu-is-very-underrated/

Belts are not overrated lol. When you’re close to a black belt like he is, you’re good. Poirier is a black belt and a better ground fighter but that doesn’t make Conor garbage. Poirier baited him and it worked…but almost got caught. Conors guillotine didn’t just all of a sudden get worse with more training, Poirier is just better at defending it than Conor is at putting it on him.

Do you think we keep 10?

The DL spots. We have 12 and I think we get it down to 9. I think Johnson, Zimmer and Butler get the axe. Hughes AJ Oliver Obada Addison Butler Rousseau Boogie Zimmer Harry Star Johnson

Mayweather wouldn't last a round. McGregor is a brown belt so his BJJ is very good. He's not at the level of a Dustin Poirier but against someone with zero grappling skills....he would dominate Mayweather within a 20 seconds on the ground.

You take these never going to happen hypotheticals pretty serious huh? What if you actually like the taste?

Have you seen the size a Great Dane leaves? You need a 4 gallon trash bag to pick them up.

Would you eat dog **** from a Great Dane for $10 million?

Nah, I’ve got 25 lbs on Mayweather and I’m in a fight I know I’m going to lose so I’m toughing it out. One big shot, I’m staying down. I’ve been hit harder than what Mayweather can throw.

Yes it does. Got hit by a liner when I was pitching in HS. Every step I take, every move I make hurt like Hades.

Negative on Washington.

It was simply to make money. He made $100 million from that fight when he was averaging about $5 million per UFC fight. I would have gotten into the ring against Mayweather for a 1/4 of that. I have good health insurance. The only one I think that he wouldn't have a chance against is Chandler. I would take Ferguson and Dos Anjos over McGregor but I had to think about that one.

Wendy's does. McDonald's fries are overrated because you get too many of those soft, limp fries. Checkers makes the best fries.

I think Kumerow makes it over Williams.

I know! #1?? I don't think he's as bad as some people on here make him out to be but that's pretty wild. I would say he's in the 7-10 range but that's my unprofessional opinion.

Maybe in 2014 with our DL? I'm thinking Dareus and Mario.
