Better MMA BJJ: BJ or Diaz

[tn94z]

So on another board we are debating who has the better MMA BJJ between Nick and BJ. Now you all know that I am huge BJ fan. But IMO, as good as he is in BJJ, he hasn't done anything in MMA that shows me he is better than Nick. Nick has more submissions with less fights. BJ does great when he has the back, but other than that, he just doesn't stand out.

I know, I know, I used to think BJ had the best BJJ in MMA. And he might if they were to have a BJJ tournament, but looking back, he hasn't been otherworldly in his MMA fights.



Thoughts??

Honestly you cant single out anyone with anyone style- NO POSSIBLE WAY. Every movement is a hybird expression of what they know, both have ways of displaying the same moves and variations. You can only argue who is a better fighter in the ring, so the whole arguement is moot othrwise

this fight will end up being a Muay Thai match with some clench. i dont think BJJ will come into play.

How come?

Re: Better MMA BJJ: BJ or Diaz

How come?

neither guy has great takedowns and both have great takedown defense. BJ tends to stand and trade as does nick. they both may try takedowns and end up pushed up against the cage but i dont think either can get a takedown on the other.

nick will use his superior reach and jab the crap out of BJ and if BJ gets inside he will try to clench up and use knees. neither guy is afraid of anything the other posses. i just hope its not a snooze fest

I see BJ trying multiple takedowns. He has been working with Hughes since before the Fitch fight. BJ taking Nick down would be a surprising part of BJ's game.
