There is absolutely no reason that my name should ever be mentioned in the same sentence as Vinny Magalhães, unless that sentence is something like, "Vinny Magalhães has incredible jiu jitsu, and Amir Allam smells like wet socks." If, metaphorically speaking, Vinny Magalhães is like a fire-breathing mastodon, then I'm more like a used car salesman. I tapout to Vinny Magalhães if he so much as thinks about driving to the gym.

I like the nogi versions of all these guys way more than the gi players in them. Rodolfo is the only one the moves like he isn't wearing pajamas, and I guess I've never seen Vinny grapple in a gi.

Munduruca*

this is a weird question, but whats the name of that purple belt that was putting it down in ADCC? Dude has massive potential.

Buchecha and Vinny, Werdum are probably the best heavy dudes out there today though. I think Vinny is the best though. Think the only reason he didnt do too hot in this last ADCC is because he got cut from the UFC, and he was probably all depressed and had a shitty camp. THEN AGAIN? I DONT KNOW SHIT. But thats my 2 cent
