If this happened who would win? How? At what time?
Marcelo would most likely get Eddie's back at some point during the match, but he would lack the squeeze to finish someone like Eddie. :)
In my truly honest opinion i think that eddie is a great no gi guy but marceelo would submit him in under 5 minutes. I think even if you asked eddie this he would agree. I know eddie is a great bjj guy but imo Marcelo is the best and Eddie is 2nd.
Eddie 2nd, that's to much nut hugging for my liking. There's no doubt eddies a great innovator and teacher but sometimes the best teachers aren't always the best at what they do. I'm sure there's loads of guys who could beat eddie but that doesn't mean they are better teachers. Marcelo is on a whole other level. All you have to watch is marcelo rolling with einstein and eddie rolling with einstein, just a different kettle of fish all together.Quote:

Already Throwing The "nut hugging" line around even though the T.S. said Marcelo would win. Get over it nobody is hugging Eddies nuts! That being said, I would have to go with Marcelo.Quote:

But I dont think eddie is ready to compete right now without getting back in competition shape. If you gave them a few months.. i think it might go to stale mate. Just because i think Eddie has enough respect for Marcelo that he would want to put everything he had into training. And would most likely be close to his top potential. I would see him training for that match much like he would for Royler. (assuming we are talking about an actual competition match between the two and not just sparring around). But that all being said.. i would agree with watty.. i would absolutely LOVE to train under either of them.. but if i had to choose.. i would prefer training under eddie. You have to think.. Marcelo would win.. but im sure a lot of that has to do with the fact that hes still what? 27ish? and competing quite often. so he is still in his prime. (not using that as an excuse for eddie.. if they were both in their prime.. i still wouldnt see eddie tapping marcelo, id still give it a stale mate) But eddie seems to have more of a "corner man's" eye. And seems to be good at finding ways to make you better on an individual/personal level. For instance finding a system/method to use all of your strengths and stay away from your weaknesses. Anyway.. i think the better question here is.. Marcelo or Renato? ;)
the world would crumble as their power levels clashed, and we would all die.
Let me throw in a bonus question... Who is the better instructer?
Out of Marcelo and Eddie.. I'd have to go with Steven Segal.. after all, he taught them everything they know ;)Quote:
