Hehe, got to love him. I should add him too, as he's the original veteran.

Thanks for the Almeida stuff. For some reason, I thought he'd have a little more.

The thing this list made me realize is how freakin' good Roger Gracie is. God damn...

Yeah, looking at it, his no-gi skills seem to be far superior to his in-gi. Luckily, that's what counts in MMA.

Roger is just the best grappler in the world right now. Romulo is second for now, but he was most likely benefiting from the absence of Mr. Garcia.

Tomorrow I'll add to this damned list, I swear. A few more judoka and wrestlers I think. And Lindland's damn ADCC results.

Wow. Awesome Idea.






...I know I already said it, but Awesome Idea.

+1 to this thread.

If you can pull off a full database, that would be an unbelievable reference.

Heroic! I'll update this later, thank you man.

And Jodka, as it stands doing a whole database on my own is unlikely, but I hope to cover (and maintain) the most sought after, while adding others as they come up. It's easier to go with who'smost asked about first, to satisfy the masses.

[Hydroburger]

A database wouldn't be too difficult so long you know how to actually make one and get in touch with all the major grappling events so that they send you results. It could be achieved if it's made through Sherdog.
