he had a style that no 1 knew how to react to. however once people realised that all you have to do is keep moving and work some guard, bjj lost it all. ive noticed a trend in todays mma, and that is that people are starting to use bjj less and less, bjj guys are also become more well rounded and standing up alot more often. when guys are going to the ground, other guys have good defense or just throw bombs or kiks until the other fighter gets up, in my opinion, gracie was not overrated, but bjj is overrated. def a need to know in mma, but i would not want it to be the backbone of my training.
