a tolerable stand up game, he could still rely on his bjj to win fights. After all, with wins over kevin randleman & vaneltijn overeem, Ron Waterman was not exactly a slouch.

I also think Roger can succeed in MMA. Besides his BJJ skills, he's training with Renzo, a very good coach.
Roger did well against Waterman, even though the fight strategy of the latter sucked altogether (why didn't he strike Roger, who at the time had probably little to none stand-up game?)
