Roger Gracie Dominates Mundials (BJJ World Championships)
Fresh off his win over Kevin Randleman at Strikeforce: Heavy Artillery, Roger Gracie was victorious in the Super Heavyweight and Absolute divisions of the world's most prestigious Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament, the Mundials.
WHO CAN STOP ROGER GRACIE?
This is the question everybody’s trying to answer after watching closely another brilliant and perfect performance of Roger Gracie. Suffering only four point during the whole championship, Roger submitted all his opponents on his way to the finale, when he confronted Ricardo Demente. Just so you can understand Roger’s sovereignty, he was the only one who made Roger fight the whole 10 minutes, and lost with the scoreboard pointing 13x2 for Gracie. "There’s no secret… It’s all about dedication, believing in yourself and have goals", resumed Roger, who won his seventh title on the division.
Gracie's domination likely cements his status as the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu player in the world, if not the best outright grappler. He is a 9x Mundials champion and 3x ADCC champion. Hopefully we'll see continued success for him in MMA, where his submission style could be the long-sought kryptonite for the modern breed of wrestler. It'll be interesting to watch, for sure.

Striking, in his case is as good as it needs to be. His problem, is that his takedowns are pretty bad, that is a MUCH bigger issue for him.
I know
he could pick up the striking quicker than the wrestling….which is why I said it’s too bad it’s non-existant.

I dont agree with that. And he seems to have a long jab, so his striking is at least good enough to get a guy blinking.
The guy has a world of grappling experience and has never, most likely tried to extensively work his takedowns (trying the old gracie bull rush to a double under clinch over and over demonstrated that) with his height and some specific coaching, he would get fights to the ground alot easier. But I could be over harsh on him, since KR isnt exactly the easiest guy to take down.
man..
nobody is scared of that jab…lol…his takedowns would consist of pulling guard…
