Who wouldn't kill to see BJ in ADCC 2009?

I've heard stories about BJ training with John Machado. Somebody who studies with Machado could probably clarify, but I had heard that BJ struggled against him--though I don't know if John was able to submit BJ or not.

In terms of technical mastery, Machado is near the top of the food chain.

Has he ever competed at ADCC?

No. He's done a Grapplers Quest tournament though. That's the highlight of his no-gi competition history.

Do you mean J.J. Machado? As in Jean Jaques? I assume you don't mean Rigan, as the name is way off.

There's a lot of stories that lend themselves in their favour to BJ. Little wizard Leozinho has been stated as not being able to pass BJ's guard. Randy has praised his takedown defence to the moon and back etc.

J.J. is a bit bigger than BJ, and one of the most senior practicioners out there. His losses have come either from the cream of the crop, or bigger guys (Lister, Kerr.) Having trouble with him is not a bad thing by any means.

he's never been subbed, and the hughes fight was a tko

John Machado's weight is 200 pounds according to his site, So I don't think it's that suprising since BJ is 160?

Fight Finder does not list all fights/events.

Try not to be so dumb and do some of your own research.

Well, as BJ debuted in the UFC, that'd be a non-issue.

when you say "do some of your own research" Do you mean I should start a thread asking everyone on sherdog what any random fighter I am wondering about may have or have not done in his fight history?-----shut up douche bag, you miss the point of my original post and if you are going to tell anyone to do their own research it should be TS---thanks for playing

Actually I like it when people ask questions like this. Would you rather every thread was some gay ass shit that normally happens in the HW? IMO if it gets Hinch to drop some knowledge on us then it is worth it. Why don't you up your post count by being a dick somewhere else.
