I'm absolutely far from a BJJ expert, but would anyone care to school me on this guy?
I've watched him a bunch of times and he is clearly very fucking good, but...
Who, would you say, is his equal in Boxing?
What are his three best wins?
Is he still in his prime? If not, when was it?
His greatest achievements are?
How highly will he be rated in a historic sense? Best of his era/generation or just very good?
Hear from the man yourself http://www.openmatradio.com/podcast/episode-99-andre-galvao-and-tapcancerout/

I love these threads and learning about athletes I like but don't know much about

His nickname was "mat rat", probably because he trained everyday.
I really enjoyed his rolled up episode and use the sweep he taught on there almost every day on the mat. If set up properly, it's unstoppable.

burner22 -I get the name of it mixed up between flower and pendulum, but it's a closed guard sweep. You grab your opponents gi at his elbow and opposite side pant leg. So if I grab their left elbow, then I grab right side pant leg. Open your guard and trap the opposite side you're grabbing the pant leg with your own leg and clock turn, making sure your clock turning leg goes over their shoulder blades. Pull the grabbed elbow and push the pant leg and come up to mount. I'm probably fucking terrible at describing this sweep but I teach it a lot better.allamerican85 - I really enjoyed his rolled up episode and use the sweep he taught on there almost every day on the mat.

The Xande sweep - he used it to sweep Marcelo and discussed it on Arts Suave years back here
