[DixieDestroyer]

I'm thinking Daniel Gracie or Garcia. Who do ya'll think is the best, pure submission guru?

Roger Gracie would have to be way up on the list. Kazushi Sakuraba would also have to be considered an all time great.

I guess I am partial to people that I have actually rolled with. These guys are excellent submission specialists.

1. Ricardo De La Riva
2. Relson Gracie
3 Saulo Ribeiro
4 Marcello Monteiro
5. Marcelo Grosso
6. Marcelo Pereira
7. James Lee

Moose, thanks for the correction...I meant Roger Gracie.

Michiganblkmn, have you rolled with any of those 7 folks? That's some world-class talent there. I'm a BJJ blue-belt (2 stripes) and the most I've rolled with is a brown-belt. It'd be great to learn from some of those studs you listed above.

I'm a one stripe blue and have rolled with Royce Gracie, Rodrigo Gracie, Mark Laimon and Karo Parisian.

dkr77, that's awesome...those guys are best of the best! I bet you learned tons from those gurus. You must be at a great school or have some good connections.

I've rolled and sparred with MMA fighters, but they are small time compared to the guys you mentioned.
