School me on Pablo Popovitch....

Tell me everything that i should know on the guy....

Just how damn good is he?

Does he still compete?

What are his biggest achievments from competition?

For his weight, where would you rank him (at his best and as of right now)?

His biggest win was....?

Same as the Andre Galvao thread ;-)

I don't think i have EVER seen a BJJ Player with Wrestling like his. Unreal....

"Hey Herb, we've got a bjj man crush on aisle 9"

He has muscles on top of his muscles.

biggest win was beating Marcelo for Gold at ADCC in 09. there may have been a large amount of shorts grabbing that helped however.

he still has mad skills though.
he'd be right at the top of the pile in his division, which is probably changing now as ADCC has new regulations in place for how much weight you can cut.

apparently his No GI instructional is tops.

He only seems to compete no gi. 2x ADCC Silver Medalist, 1x Gold medalist. Has won the No Gi Worlds at least once. I think other than his few losses to Marcelo Garcia, he has not lost a no gi match in a LONG time.

Musclebound Pablo has a softer side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLY2KMD2qt4

If Eddie v. Royler doesn't pan out, I propose a rock-off between Bravo and Popovitch at ADCC.

OMG, Pablo rocks! I'm impressed.

rematch Diego Sanchez. Would be a good one

Awesome instructor and a really nice guy. Phone Post

HuntingtonPUNK - rematch Diego Sanchez. Would be a good one




diego seems way off recently. hall beat him pretty easy and hall is not yet on pablos level (imo)


based on your assertion that Ryan beat Diego "pretty easy" i'll go ahead and assume you didn't see the fight.

here's a clip of the match and Ryan talking about it.
Ryan got the back with 1 minute remaining and won on points.

that said, Diego seems way off recently.

:)

Ryan hall isn't quite on pablos level but he's close Phone Post

 If he ever took conditioning serious he would be a wrecking machine

ryan hall beat Deigo, Deigo as a white belt/wrestler beat Pablo. Styles make matches, Ryan Hall has a style that could give anyone problems

génial, merci mon ami!

 

traneufcisback - Meh, he's all muscle. Not that impressed. He would not be as successful without his muscles to overpower people.



it's not his muscles, it's the muscles that his muscles have.

 I was told he took down Askren at will when he was down in Florida training.

You were told wrong.
Would never, ever happen.
