Great upsets in BJJ/Grappling history

raleigh - HP was nino/machado in irvine? what year? is there video of it?


 yeah bren events center.  musta been 98 or 99

Were Baret Yoshida's 07 ADCC victories on the way to bronze seen as upsets at the time?

Oh yea I remember a good one that no one ever mentions.

Eddie Bravo wasn't the only guy to upset Royler. Marcus Aurelio beat him by points in gi. I believe it was in 97' the same year Royler won worlds and pan ams at black belt. Royler later avenged this loss (rematch can be seen on youtube) though.

Brian McLaughlin -  I remember Roger beating Sperry as an upset, Sperry had never been beat in his weight


 Didn't Roleta beat Sperry at weight or was that in absolute? Granted that's gi though. Sperry really lost to Mohammed Saleh in 1998 imo, but somehow the ref gave Sperry the win.

Are you talking about ADCC 2011?

Some might say Ron Tripp's win over Rickson. But it wasn't a BJJ match and Ron would probably be the favorite.

I love the cobrinha/mendes battles . Cobrinha is my favorite grappler , it sucked to see Rafa run through him and armbar him .

You are right but in 11 rafa was the favorite thats why i said it wasnt an upset Phone Post

No I wasn't referring to adcc 2011...I'm talking about the world pro...I believe it's the first time Rafael beat cobrinha in competition. I think it was in 2009...it was the very first year the world pro started and thatS also rodolfo vieira breakout year as well.

Thread of the year right here.
