Just did it. Marcelo Garcia shouldn't be on this list 'cause technically he's not in MMa but I put him in anyways.

Good ranking, I enjoyed building it.

Marcelo is an amazing competition grappler, but best BJJ in MMA?  He's 0-1 in MMA.

no the list isn't for that, you're reading it wrong. Nik just means the best BJJ practitioners in MMA, regardless of MMA record. Here's his ranking description:

"Maybe they arent the best fighters, but in your opinion, best p4p BJJ practitioners currently in MMA. Have to have fought MMA in the last 6 years."

AnikM....Alrighty then.  Still though, Marcelo lost that one fight 5 years ago.  I know the OP said 6 years, but it still seems a little off to me to include him on this list.

@AnAlias quick question, where is the winner of the Absolute division Andre Galvao on your list?

Lister won his division at ADCC last year. He deserves a top ten spot. I roll with a guy consistently who spent some time training with Dean.

Antonio Braga Neto has some pretty sick skills. And he changes levels so well to get the TDs. One of the more interesting fighers to watch--for having zero standup.
