Only few martial artists party like thuis when they face a defeat like Conor McGregor.

As it was after defeating Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor was humble, showing respect to his opponent, winning more fans and causing a burst of positive reactions.

Check how Notorious partied after the match against Floyd Mayweather in which he was stopped in the 10th round:

Conor McGregor has done his professional MMA debut for over nine years when he faced Gary Morris at “Cage of Truth 2” in his hometown of Dublin. Then he fought for not much money and we did not know what he was expecting for a few years in advance.

Tonight he  is believed to earn over $ 100 million. Fighting in the hall that receives over 20,000 people and millions of people will watch it live all over the world. See his first professional MMA fight where there were just a couple of hundred people in the following video clip, Dublin 2007, McGregor vs Kieran Campbell

Leandro Lo vs Andre Galvao – Lo wins via 0-0 (1-0 adv)

Finals:

Buchecha vs Leandro Lo – Buchecha wins via referee’s desicion

“It took less than 20 seconds for Lo to jump to guard, playing a collar grip and using his long legs to unbalance Buchecha. Lo came close to getting under Buchecha’s hips but the big man’s agility enabled him to spin out and stay on top. Two and a half minutes in Lo came close to knocking Buchecha over and scored an advantage for the near-sweep.

Lo seemed happy to work his guard, pulling again and this time working a de la riva guard. Buchecha started to control Lo’s legs and seemed close to passing, but Lo’s amazing flexibility saved him. The score became even at 0-0, 1-1 adv

Around midway through the match Buchecha seemed unusually slow in getting back to his feet during a restart, with ringside spectators asking if he was hurt or in some other way unwell. His breathing seemed labored.

Lo returned to guard, and Buchecha’s trademark explosiveness was nowhere to be seen. With two minutes left he changed tactics to a slower, heavier style of passing.

Buchecha tried grinding through Lo’s guard but the match ended dead even at 0-0, 1-1 adv. As Buchecha stood, his gi came open and he rubbed at his ribs and torso, which appeared to be taped up. ”

Here’s the deal my grappling brothers. I decided to state who is the BJJ GOAT (The Greatest of All Time) and why!

As a brazilian I’ve been around BJJ since I was a kid and back in the day (it may sound crazy these days but) even in Brazil some of us honestly believed that BJJ was the same as vale-tudo . So I always assumed that the BJJ GOAT was by far Royce Gracie since he is very respected and was on tv all the time. Years have gone by and I got educated around BJJ and learnt about Helio Gracie, Rickson Gracie, Renzo Gracie, BJ Penn, Charles Cobrinha, Romulo Barral, Leandro Lo, Marcus Buchecha and many other great athletes.
Lead by that I started my research instead of just get influenced by the media. After countless hours of research I’ve discovered that there are too many tournaments around the globe with very similar names and way too many federations (By the way never ever make the mistake of translate from some languages and try understand them and put it in a single sheet. It’s nearly impossible).

Long Story short, It’s simply impossible to make a strong argument about who’s the BJJ GOAT without being unfair with hundreds of great practitioners. Although that’s my real statement I’ll share my thoughts with you. If I had to put some money on it I’d bet Roger Gracie is the BJJ Goat and here’s 4 reasons why:

1- The Resume: Roger has simply won everything. Gracie has 10 wins at the IBJJF World Jiu-Jitsu Championships as a black belt. The rivalry with Ronaldo Jacaré is the biggest on BJJ history and he’s just in his mid 30’s.
2- The size: If you’re a believer that in BJJ size matters like myself remember he’s just 6 ft 4 in. which allow him to face any other big opponent.

3- The mindset: During his entire career he was famous not just by winning but also because he was always looking for finish instead of scoring. In 2005’s ADCC Roger won all 8 of his matches both at the super heavyweight and absolute weight classes by submission. In the 2009 Mundials he submitted all of his opponents in the super heavyweight and the absolute weight classes.

4- The lineage: Roger Gracie has the last name of the royal family of BJJ. Got his black belt under Renzo Gracie and even if we imagine Helio and Rolls alive and competing they’d probably share the family secrets with him.

What about you? If you had to put money on it who would you choose as the BJJ GOAT?

Self-defense without grappling? Is it even possible to call anyone a self-defense expert without any grappling knowledge? Do you think it is ok to call yourself a Self Defense expert without any takedown defense, or grappling experience?

Check out this video and see how it looks like when you clinch against any kind of grappler. And you will clinch most of the time in any type of fighting.
