Just in case he does walk away from the sport... look at what he's been able to accomplish. BB in less than 4 years, then winning the world BJJ championships at BB, shocks the world and becomes world WW champion, becomes world LW champion and only 2nd guy in UFC history to have held titles in 2 different weight classes.
I could live with that resume... I won gold at the AZ state BJJ championships and am a blue belt and I am proud of just that! The people disrespecting him are out of control and really need to see how much he's done.
Two of the accomplishments you listed were in a different sport, and neither of his championships came as a result of winning his way through the division. I imagine there are a few fighters who could win a couple belts if they had five title shots, several of those entirely unearned.
BJ may be disrespectful when he hypes fights, but his following is not disrespectful.
if you want to talk about disrespectful fans, then point the finger at GSP fans. the way they have treated BJ fans recently shows the pathetic side of the MMA community. you can disrespect BJ but don't disrespect his fans.
lol, so his nuthuggers are more deserving of respect than the guy who actually fights and accomplishes things?

coming from you this is the biggest pile of shit post imaginable on this subject.
LMFAO at the post. Leave BJ's nuthuggers alone! It hurts their feelings when their delusions are thrown in their face.
the anti-bj people are MUCH more annoying
"Just in case he does walk away from the sport... look at what he's been able to accomplish. BB in less than 4 years then winning the world BJJ championships at BB..."
There are Black Belts and BJJ Mundials in MMA? AWESOME!
And how many title defenses has he had and what's his record?
The fact that "fans" attack fighters based on the way their fans act is pretty ridiculous.
Disliking BJ for who he is is fine but not respecting his accomplishments in the fight world is ridiculous.
The two are not synonymous.
Some of you guys are clearly pussies.
Ausgepicht - Some of you guys are clearly pussies.
Well............ not everyone can complain about that.......
heh heh
PiousDevil -Now we know what this thread was truly about. "Hey guys, I worship Brazil, Brazilians, and BJJ at a cult like Jonestown level. I am making this thread about one of the most popular topics in MMA, knowing hundreds will click and I can toot my own horn! I got a blue belt!"AK-BJJ - ... I won gold at the AZ state BJJ championships and am a blue belt and I am proud of just that!
Way to make it all about you, buddy.
Ausgepicht, you come off as having a serious chip on your shoulder. You need to relax bud.
LOL....calling a bunch of pople "pussies" is calm, cool and collected and doesn't demonstrate a chip on the shoulder? Take your own advice, bud.

UNEARENED???
you do not know mma beyond ufc... and thats too bad.
When you talk about BJ you look at ALL the people he has beat in different wieght classes. thats why he is considered P4P the best. and that is how he earned title fights. yes, bjj is different than mma, but he proved to be one of the best in the world at bjj, and that is why he is so respected, mma guys know how hard that would be to go and win the worlds.
What I was saying is my stuff is minor and I'm sure most people can achieve what I have and we can't even comprehend what it's like to do what he has done. Your guys negativity is hilarious

Do us that favor, OK?
You are bloated on POI and Kool-Aid if you think BJ is P4P. Stop bringing up his accomplishments in BJJ as if they are accomplishments in MMA.
Nobody said anything about "mma accomplishments"... I said accomplishments. Are you saying winning the mundials isn't an accomplishment?
Hey I'm not the one that made this thread and started it with "Just in case he does walk away from the sport... look at what he's been able to accomplish." yet followed it with all his BJJ accomplishments. YOU DID. I'm still waiting for you to follow up on your statement.
Getting a BJJ black belt and winning every BJJ competition on earth and being 800-0 in grappling means your accomplishments in MMA are exactly this: ZERO.
You have confused yourself.
LOL ok. You're an anal lil guy. Let me rephrase it just for you "if he decides to stop competing..."
No point in getting all riled up over BJ's accomplishments. AK-BJJ, what weight did you compete in at blue belt? I competed at that tournament too
