What are some of the greatest upsets in BJJ/Submission Grappling history?
Obviously there's Eddie/Royler, but there are a lot of other great ones through the years and it would be nice to see some posted.

The 1996 Mundials. Wallid vs. Roleta.
Supposedly Wallid had been unbeaten for 10 years at the time, but I'm not sure if that's accurate. 2 years later Wallid would famously go on to choke out Royce Gracie. I wonder what it would've been like if he'd had that clock choke in his arsenal in the Roleta match.

Lol at this. You make it sound like Wallid only learnt the clock choke AFTER his match with Roleta, and that had he known it before, he would have won.

Wow bro, you started a kickass thread, hopefully more old school ones are brought up.
Rômulo Barral loses to Kyle Griffin in ADCC
Many people forget, but this was a HUGE upset at the time. Not only for what happened but the way it happened.
I know he probably didn't mean it like this because Marcelo is seems to be the coolest/friendliest guy out there but his walk away after putting Shaolin to is a very 'Like a boss' moment. No celebration, just puts the guy down in 1min and walks away.
