Calling it quits is tough. You never know the right timing when its something you’ve been doing all your life. Very rarely do you get guys who retire but can still challenge for titles. Here is a list of fighters we believe could still compete with the best.

    Great video, maybe slow it down a little, I can hardly read it without pausing the vid

    romulo isn't retired, he just did worlds and will be at adcc this year

    Mendes bros ! I wonder how many world titles they'd end up with if they kept competing

    Great video, thank you for putting some focus on Gui. Although I love both Mendes bros, Rafa always seems to get a lot of the light. Surprised to not see Rickson though, he can definitely hang!

    Personally I would just love to see Rafa vs Marcelo, maybe adcc rules, or else ebi overtime

    Fun list, but Eddie Bravo.. Really? no disrespect to him, but he never won a major tournament and outside of his last fight with 50 year old Royler, hasn't competed in over 10 years. Maybe others his age, but not the younger better competitors of today.

    What about rigan machado?

    where is rodolfo vieira?

    Dude, you forgot CM Punk.
    Remember that awesome BJJ career he had? He retired from BJJ undefeated before going on to absolutely dominate in MMA.

    I'm just saying…
    It's a little disrespectful for you to not include the GOAT.

    AOJ is one of the best BJJ academies in the world! I wouldn't want to be taught by no-one else but them.

    I wonder if Rafa had those rings made, or are those rings given out to the champion at worlds? It's like a world series ring or something.

    My teacher Alexandre Soca has been winning everything at the Masters division. 4 time Worlds Masters champion and two time Abu Dhabi Jiu Jitsu Legends Superfight Champion. He was also the original ADCC first champion. He was supposed to fight Eddie Bravo but that match never happened. According to Soca himself, he is the best shape of his life now. He teaches virtually every class at his academy, Soca BJJ in Long Island, NY and rolls every day against all his students. Alexandre Soca vs Eddie Bravo would be an incredible match. They both consider Jean Jacques Machado as their teacher and main influence in their Jiu Jitsu.

    Pretty much any former BJJ champ 30-40 years old could still win. Just the pay off is so small compare to MMA. They cannot focus there whole life like most MMA fighters. Many MMA guys compete into there 30s and it's harder training imo… Masters division at 30 years old is too young

    Romulo isn't retired. No disrespect to eddie, but he never won anything in his prime and his greatest achievement as of recent, was beating a 50 year old royler. I'd put rodolfo and Roger instead of them.
