Good poster, I'll be cheering for Yves.

hermes.

I would love to see Hermes v. Serra. Hermes has huge balls and wouldnt be afraid to goto the ground with Serra.

Damn good fight. I'll go with Franca on this one.

This will be a momentous fight. Yves is good and super dangerous on his feet. Now when Hermes takes it to the ground it will be over.

There lays the problem taking that fuger to the ground.

Carlao is correct. I forsee Yves running and going for the decision.

Thats the problem with most BJJ fighters. They don't have very good takedowns. Serra would be a top level LW if he had even average takedowns. Nogueria would be 10x better than he is right now if his takedowns weren't so bad.

Franca seems to have ok takedowns, so I think he should be able to take Edwards down. Submiting him might be a bit tougher. Edwards got Serra of his back twice. He is hard to submit

Yves has the best takedown defense in that weight class.

Franca

Then how did Serra take him down?

Serra, Uno and Kawajiri took Edwards down...I think Franca can take Edwards down.

Edwards.

Is there not a difference between having a brilliant takedown defence and being impossible to take down?

Sure there is. He's good, but he got taken down.
