hahahaha, yea i'm pretty bummed that jacare won't be competing in BJJ as much because he's definitely my favorite grappler of all-time.
BUT, i must admit that i'm really excited about his MMA career...there's not a lot of guys that make a successful transition from having a successful sport BJJ career and then having a successful MMA career. but i seriously think jacare's style of bjj will do REALLY well in MMA because his style is really aggressive and he's incredibly strong for his size...not to mention his speed.
he's also not affraid to get hit which was evident in his debut match...apparently it backfired as he was a little too brave and got caught. that was a good experience for him though because it looks like he learned his lesson. in his next two matches, he went straight for the takedown to play his game and finished his opponents rather quickly. he's been totally focused on MMA and his stand up will get better...i think he at least needs to get his stand up to be DECENT and he will be a force at mw with his takedowns and bjj alone.
in his last fight, his stance looked better and he was using jabs to set up his takedown. i can't wait until they put him up against someone better to see him in some real competition.
