@steeeeker Roger hasn't accomplished what Rickson has in MMA, but has already surpassed Rickson in BJJ, and is the consensus BJJ great right now. Rickson definitely demands respect, but when it comes to BJJ, Roger is easily better than Rickson.
Rickson was awsome...but all those heavier guys he fought SUCKED and were cans. I can't believe some fools actually think he could beat Fedor or is worthy of being mentioned in the same degree like the Michael Jordan of MMA......Fedor fought plenty of bigger guys too and more to the point, would kill Rickson.
Rickson is the greatest fighter and has the record to prove it.To compare him to fighters from modern times is absurd.Today fighters fight in weight classes,which I don't necessarily disagree with.But defeating a much larger opponent(100-200 lbs sometimes) Is an accomplishment that cannot be compared to anything other than the same feat.Rickson Gracie should be compared to tiger woods,michael jordon,wayne gretzke,muhammed ali, as the greatest in his sport.Not to fedor. P.S. ask febricio werdum
This man did more with his life then your whole family did in 10 generations. He is a legend, and if you can't recognise that, the least you can do is give him the respect he deserves. Stepping in a ring against opponents 3 times heavier then you is not easy; coming out as a winner every single time is near impossible. Rickson is not only an inspiration to every jiu jitsu fighter, but an example to every single martial arts practioner.
I am more impressed by his ability to avoid being caught on camera during 439 fights. Since he isn't actually 450-0, nuthuggers should start small. First person who can show me 100 photos depicting Rickson in fights with 100 different dudes wins a prize. And you will have me sold on a 100-0 record.
@MrPolskaDuma Rickson is my favorite Gracie and he's the best of them for sure but I don't think he can't beat Fedor...back when he was fighting mma wasn't as evolved as it is now and Fedor makes top bjj guys look like amatuers...I always wanted to see that fight years ago in pride.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The level of competition he faced was quite pitiful, they couldn't even provide basic defence of rear naked chokes, guard passing and arm-bars... It's not hard to fight a couple of washed up pro-wrestlers and call yourself the best... This guy lives in a fantasy world, he said he would beat both Fedor and Brock... Wanderlei said it best, he's living in a dream world.
Anderson Silva is the best pound for pound fighter in the world, not this clown.
i agree about the fact that anderson is the best at the moment but you have to consider that no matter who Rickson faced he never lost a pro fight to anyone. He's to old to compare to silva now. although i think fedor would whip Ricksons ass in a milisecond XD
still think Rickson is one of the best to ever enter the sport!
He was definitely a pioneer of the sport, I'll give him that, but he shouldn't compare himself to modern day fighters. He quit before most other fighters caught up, so his legacy remains intact. Smart in his behalf, still no reason to say you could beat a 285 lb beast like Lesnar. Who's he trying to kid?
Well, actually Rickson did not say exactly he would beat Fedor or Brock. He said he would take more time to beat Fedor than Brock, in his perspective Fedor is much better than Brock. Rickson is already 50 man, he is a pioneer and was there when no one was. Actually he is aways saying there is no way to beat guys like Fedor and Brock under UFC rules, with limit of time and rounds. The only way to beat than is with no time limit, and no rules, like in the first UFC.
Nah, Machida has a better record and would beat Silva, if they fought. Rickson was amazing, but it is a different game now.Basically ever body learned what the Gracies were beating them with and now they get beat much more easily. But, don't for a second think that a "normal" person could beat them. They are still pretty bad ass however.
well don't forget rickson is also 51 yrs old haha but it really comes down to fedor outweighing rickson by 50lbs, being in the prime of his career, and just being a better MMA fighter than rickson. rickson can work his boxing all he wants but he's NEVER going to try and outstrike anyone. BJJ is his bread and butter.
fedor. rickson has incredible jiu jitsu and wrestling but he hasn't fought anyone special. the pure technical advantage would be in rickson's favor but fedor also has a great ground game, awesome submission defense (proven against minotauro) as well as the heaviest hands in the world
what's with people saying he's 400-0 in mma he is only like 15-0 the other was like jujutsu and judo competions. Hell, Helio would be like 1000-2 and Roger would be like 30-0 Melton Bowen would be like 142-8 and Roy Jones Jr. would be like 132-6 if when counted ever single combative situation the guy where in.
Rickson is like Mac Dre of the underground and Royce is like 2pac of the mainstream for my Nor Cal beggining jiu jitsu followers....
