Is Roger’s guard good enough to submit Mo? Is his half guard good enough to sweep Mo?
What about Jacare’s bottom game? Bigfoot’s?
If all 3 fighters had a rematch and you were coaching them, would you have them all stick to the same strategy?

The only way pulling guard is gonna work on a fighter you can’t take down is if you pull guard and immediately play a clinching style otherwise dude on top will just stand up like Cormier and Overeem did.

I would only suggest pulling guard to a fighter who has sick bottom game otherwise it’s a bad strategy. Phone Post

Roger, Jacare and Bigfoot are all Bjj black belts with Roger and Jacare being considered prolly the best of all time.
You would think that they would own anyone off there backs especially wrestlers with only basic Bjj.
In the exact same match ups in gi Jiu Jitsu competition I think Roger, Jacare and Bigfoot would easily sweep and or submit their opponents off their backs.
Should elite submission ninjas like Roger and Jacare focus on winning championship belts with kickboxing?? or should they focus on everything takedown including guard pulling?
