Does he compete in a lot of nogi comps? I've seen a lot of gi
Buchecha competed in the Ultimate Absolute tournament in NYC a couple of years back, that was no gi and it had Galvao, Magalhaes, etc.
Yeah Vinny subbed Buchecha in that tourney. I feel that the gi is def Buchechas comfort zone.Quote:

His Speed is amazing... His Fight Against Roger at Metamoris was awesome too.
Dayum that's fun to watch.
Also, the music in the video makes me feel like I drank a 12-pack of Red Bulls.
Yeah he did, I forget what it was but I know it was a leglock that had both of Buchecha's legs trapped, might have been a heel hook or some sort of variant. Vinny did very well against some top level guys in both Ultimate Absolute and ADCC.Quote:

As much as Buchecha may be better in the gi than nogi. I think this is more-so a case of Vinny being outstanding at nogi. That is where Vinny can excel to insane levels - not so much in the gi - but nogi, he can beat anyone in the world. I believe Buchecha has improved since that fight; however, and it would be awesome to see them go at it nogi again.
Yes he does. he always does the no-gi worlds, and always wins. He'll be at ADCC this year and he has a very strong chance to double gold in his weight and the absolute.Quote:

I think I read somewhere (forget where/when, maybe Gracie Mag) that Rodolfo is looking to get "revenge" on Buchecha this year at ADCC, in addition to showing better than he did in 2011 when Dean Lister put him out of commission. For those of you who haven't seen it:Quote:

Just goes to show you it's a whole different world in ADCC/outside of IBJJF when you have to worry about guys that will not be scared to tear your legs apart (Palhares, anyone?)
Very interesting, Thanks for posting this. I don't think Rodolfo will get his revenge. When you hear about the elite cream of the crop dudes, almost all of them are just about the same level gi and nogi. Rodolfo is not one of those guys. He just doesn't look as good without the gi, and when you mix that with Buchecha's awesome nogi abilities i think Rodolfo is in for a rough time if he faces Buchehca. i think Buchecha would submit Rodolfo at ADCCQuote:
