Jacare has the best bjj at mw and arguably in the UFC, but Yoel can hang with him anywhere the fight goes.

I think his athleticism plays a big part, but he is also a top level wrestler. He's one of a very few men that has beaten Cael Sanderson. His cardio is a factor, but he has a lot of finishes in the third round. He's a guy who does things out of necessity (heard this explained). So if he's wrestling, and he's down 1-0, he may stall until the end and explode for a takedown. Same with the weidman fight. He went when he had to. Plus don't forget that an argument could have been made that the jacare fight should have been stopped. Even though he recovered to do well the rest of the fight, jacare needed help to get to his stool. He was out for a while and didn't recover until about the three minute mark of round two.

Whittaker can land a killer shot of course, but I still make Jacare favourite.
@mbach3407 Yoel is a world class wrestler but there is no way he is a match for Jacare on the mat. Is his wrestling quality to make the takedown super difficult or even stop it completely? Obviously. Once there Jacare already showed he was above Romero's level on the mat in the last fight. All Romero could do was minimise damage, which he did well admittedly.

@mbach4307 He's not reaching Jacare's game. The matchup was special in the sense that their respective styles kind of cancel themselves in a way. Romero have no gastank, this is why he have to be tricky. Against Weidman he waited for the opportunity to explode and finish the fight but he was losing 1 and 2 and even get brought to the mat. I need to see a rematch against Jacare and i am pretty sure he loses this one. He is a tricky pony but this will not last forever (their are some controversy in most of his fights...) BTW i would like to see him **** Bisping to shut his mouth.
@HJWalker Exactly.

Love it. The rubber match in MMA. I'll take Jacare.
