Rampage is more of a wrestler/boxer style fighter than a BJJ fighter, though he does train BJJ as well. Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira is a superb example of world-class BJJ in MMA. If you can get a video of him against Josh Barnett, I'd reccomend checking it out. It's a veritable ground game clinic, lotsa great sweeps and submission attempts. As previously stated, BJ Penn and Matt Serra are both great ground technicians. Check out some Kenny Florian fights too, he's shown some great sub victories. One of my favorite is Thiago Tavares. Nick and Nate Diaz are both stellar ground fighters. There's so many! Good luck with your training, keep us updated! BTW, who's the head instructor at your academy?

Fighting is all about heart, technique and capitalizing upon your opponents mistakes. It is not about putting something into your body and walking around with big muscles saying look at me. In my book if you are on steroids you are a loser." Bas Rutten Last edited by basslogic4003 : 11-04-2007 at 02:47 PM.
