That would be pretty idiotic if the match were in the Gi. Your enthusiasm is good, but Eddie has been utilizing a system for the last ten years that's specifically No Gi, and for all the hate he's been given you don't think he's more eager than anyone to prove it's effective?
Plus, no disrespect, but Royler would probably smash Eddie in the Gi. That's how Royler makes his living and that's his comfort zone. Everybody agrees the transition from Gi to No Gi is a lot easier than No Gi to Gi. Collar chokes, spider guard, different grips, these are all things that can come into play and despite Eddie's experience with the Gi, his lack thereof the past ten years would present a real problem, I think.
