I agree. I think it will draw. Vinny is amazing, and anyone can win, but my gut is that Keenan is just competing so often at such a high level (double bronze at ADCC, gold at NoGi Worlds, lots of no-gi superfight and special tournament wins), and has literally a large amount of the best no-gi guys in the world as his training partners.
- Andre Galvao - ADCC 2013 superfight champion, ADCC 2011 double gold (weight and absolute), ADCC 2009 silver, ADCC 2007 double bronze
- Rafa Mendes - 2x ADCC gold (2009 and 2011) and silver (2013)
- JT Torres - Just won gold at the NoGi Worlds and bronze at ADCC 2013)
I think Vinny can beat anyone in the world on any given day. Pound for pound he can finish anyone out there. I think it will be an awesome match. The difference to me in this match is training partners, and I just think Keenan is competing more often, and has 3 super ninja level training partners that he can prep with.
A draw is what I'd bet money on.
