He isn't on my list quite yet b/c I ranked mine based on MMA grapplers, not grapplers as a whole (didn't include non-mma grapplers).  But, once he has a few more fights and keeps on getting subs... He'll be on my list.

@Kalibo I agree MMA wise he's not close to being #1 yet, but he's on his way...In his last fight he made a legit black belt look like garbage on the ground....and after the seminar I went to with him he was an amazing teacher and one of the humblest guys out there I really enjoyed the time and will root for him in every fight he has!!!

I dont understand how anyone can have a list without rickson in the top 10.  Just strikes me as silly because every grappler out there will praise him.  Ricardo arona should be there too, big nog said in grappling he was unbeatable.  If memory serves, and im hungover today so bear with me, he didnt even have a point scored against him at the adcc's
