Ah yes, hes a monster
ogjune -Beneil Dariush
Augusto Mendes
Good call on Dariush, think Mendes got cut
Dern Mackenzie
Not sure if you'd count some of these guys as sport or not. I'll leave that up to you to decide...
sergio moraes
brian ortega... didn't compete in ibjjf or anything but was a gi guy
jose aldo ??... was a big sport guy up through brown belt
Luke Rockhold - purple belt champion
Jussier da Silva ?
Wilson Reis
Raphael Assuncao
Rani Yahya
Charles Oliveira (sport?)
Rafael do Anjos
Demian Maia
Sergio Moraes and Wilson Reis most definitely. Don't think Ortega ever competed sport. Seems he was always aiming to be an MMA guy from the start. I believe he did Pankration tourneys as a kid
Durinho. Tanquinho. David Ramos.
BJ Penn vs. Ryan Hall
All of the previous plus Garry Tonon, and Michelle Nicolini is fairly active. I believe Munch is gearing up for MMA soon.
