Rafa Mendes vs Bill Cooper

[Brandon Mccaghren]

I said MG asks people because he does, I've been told so by people (Hendricks if you need a name) who have trained with MG. You also sign a video release with MG before training.

I didn't say people referring to MB, because I haven't talked to anyone who is in video on their website outside Coop. I wasn't talking shit on MG at all, I don't think I've ever seen a negative comment about MG or MB. Coop himself was ecstatic about training with MB, you could tell by how much he was smiling and his Facebook comments after. I doubt Coop is upset that the video got posted because of his personality, but as a fan of his I am upset that people draw conclusions without knowing the facts of the roll. (Coop being injured, not knowing about the video being released, etc)

We ain't mad at ya, brother. We all have our fan boy moments.

lol. It'll get worse as the Coop vs Hall fight draws closer and Lovato vs Galvao.

I might have to retire from the interwebz to keep myself from starting e-battles.

So do you info that the video was shot without Cooper knowing? You are not really coming across clearly in your posts

[Slick Rick]

I completely agree Rick, I would love to see Rafa go up against heavier guys.

I think if Rafa had Bills mentality and competed against guys like Cavaca, Cyborg, etc he would be my favorite jiujitsu guy of all time. But as it stands I am a Coop fanboy lol

I agree Gray. It would be too awesome to see him go in abs division. And yes, I am a big fan of Coopers! He's such a fluid grappler.

You aren't familiar with Bill "The Grill" Cooper?

He's one of the best Americans of all time. Amazing grappler. Bill was hurt here too I think, so I think comparing what others would have or wouldn't have done is a little silly. It's just a rolling session.

I know Bill. Was talkin bout Jason Manly. Viewing on my phone didnt give me a vid title.

[bobby rivers]

Dont click that. I need a tech guy..

[Mike Nall]

Other video brother. Unless Bill over tanned

Ah the Jason Manly one my bad. Yeah I asked Rafa about the NS choke and he doesn't really use it. Isn't a big fan of it. Interesting. Yeah MG would have been all over that.

My bad

[Andy Bader]

In Rafa's defense, he's done quite well against all sorts of physiques. It would be a special treat to see Rafa v MG. I'd eat popcorn and extra butter for that one.

I heard that Rafa did pretty well with Buchecha when he came by too ;-)

Rafa and MG would be nice to see....

This is extremely interesting to me. Did he mention why?
