HBwillie Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Eyeseeu - Nogueira fights at heavyweight, aoki at lightweight. They wouldn't be fighting one another, but that wasn't the question I was asking. I was asking...who uses jiu-jitsu more effectively in MMA. Houselessrogue - While it is true that Nog has never been finished, he has, in past had tremendous difficulty finishing anyone with jiu-jitsu in their skillset. i.e. - Ricco Rodriguez, Fabricio Werdum and Jeremy Horn (who is significantly lighter than Nog). I believe this is due to his basic use of the discipline as opposed to using innovation and the element of surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouselessRogue Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Had his knees not gone out Kazushi Sakaraba (sp.) was a beast. No one could handle that guy in a jiu jitsu match. Ever watch any of his fights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
