Fabricio Werdum comes to mind right away. Vinny Magalhaes, Jacare, and Roger Gracie are other names that have to be mentioned.

Oliver I believe is top 10 as well. Not the best or more decorated but dam good. He extremely effective off his back and fast.

Maia has some company now. With Jacare in the UFC now and I think Werdum is on that level too.

I know in the MMA world, people kind of round off skill in respective classes like X's wrestling is good enough to cancell out X's. But in the BJJ world, when Maia stopped competing he was the best. He is the most decorated, and you can see he was submitting guys left and right in the UFC, until he thought standing up was better. P4P, though, Maia is the best.

Although Jacare beat Maia early in his career, Maia decisively beat him in their final match. Wasn't close.

Roger Gracie has beaten Jacare a number of times and also beaten Maia.....I believe Gracie is 3 and 2 against Souza and 1-0 against Maia

I wish UFC held Grappling tournaments during Fan expos and maybe a sort of MMA combine. Like wouldnt it be funny to see Roy Nelson vs Daniel Cormier in a 100 meter dash or Jacare vs Gracie in a BJJ match or how about Sonnen vs Ryan Bader in a wrestling match all just for fun. Low risk of injury and it would add something to the expos. Maybe a test your power match on the punching machine between Rampage and Hendo lol. A guy can dream

Jay, Roger never fought Maia. And Jacare is 1-1 with Roger. Jacare beat Roger with one arm before. Maia is 1-1 against Jacare, but Jacare won the first fight by advantage, while Maia won the 2nd fight by many points




Here is Maia beating Jacare




Here is Jacare beating Roger

If we're talking and credentials it's Roger Gracie without a doubt.  Two ADCC championships, 10 Mundial championships.  Pure BJJ again Roger but Jacare is also very very good.

As far as just guys that are exceptional at BJJ in the UFC:  

      265
  • Werdum
  • Gonzaga
  • Mir
  • Nogueira

      205
  • Pezao
  • Anthony Perosh
  • Gegard Mousasi has shown an excellent guard

      185
  • Roger Gracie
  • Jacare 
  • Jason MacDonald
  • Jake Shields 

      170
  • Maia
  • Sergio Moraes
  • BJ Penn (?)
  • Matt Serra (?)
  • Nick Diaz and TJ Waldburger have both shown good guards

      155
  • Fabricio Camoes
  • Cristiano Marcello
  • BJ Penn (?)
  • Jim MIller
  • George Sotiropoulos - sick passes 
  • Paul Sass has (obviously) shown a good guard

      145
  • Rani Yahya
  • Milton Vieira
  • Pepey
  • Hatsu Hioki - some of the best guard passing in MMA
  • Jose Aldo
  • Charles Oliveira

      can't think of anyone at 135 really...Faber has good chokes

      125
  • Formiga - awesome back takes/control
  • Ulysses Gomez
  • Benavidez has good chokes

"Jay, Roger never fought Maia." -- Yes he did.  He beat him as a brown belt when Demian was a black belt


"Jacare beat Roger with one arm before."  -- Roger broke Jacare's arm then Jacare proceeded to literally run away the rest of the match.  If you break a guy's arm and he runs away I think you won the fight.

Broadly, Roger was one of the largest competitors. P4P, he isn't the best.

- You'll have to find that for me, because I can't find that anywhere. But again, Gracie is MUCH bigger than Maia. 
- Gracie was losing the fight, got the armbar, and Jacare escaped.  They went to the ground a few times and Gracie coldnt get anything - He lost.

P4P, defintely Marcelo, but he had one MMA fight in 07, and he didnt look too good.
