And now this new guy is taking on a 40 yr old veteran who, imo, was never all that great and now he has to fight with his age as well against a young guy hungry to prove himself and make a point to the world.
Well this gracie is the best grappler since Rickson, is young and in his prime.

jacare has ad some mma expirience, but when he goes at it full time, he could very well become the best fighter in the world. jut like nog, he is very aggressive with his submission, but he has better grappling credentials than nog...as for roger, nobody but maybe5 guys in mma could compete with his ground game, the problem is, a guy like con frye is hrad to take down and frye just might win it with a KO. it all depends on rogers chin. if its like nog's, we may have ourselves a new nog style fighter

Roger is LEAPS ANDS BOUNDS better than Minotauro on the ground. That chin though, is something else. MMA is a different game but IMO Roger will do well.

As time goes on in the fight if Don doesnt get a hit his window of opportunity closes rather quickly. Roger will submit him fairly easily. I would like to see Roger vs. Yoshida

^ Pride will have to hand out serious cash for that one. I dont think either would fight the other for less than close to a million dollars.
