Ruotolo Brothers? Mikey Musumeci? Gordon is S tier so we all understand he is by far the best. But I do think Craig Jones needs to be up there too

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

None of those guys competed enough imo 🤷

[@PlacesPoGoes]

@@joshjitsuBJJsad but true, wonder if more bjj guys will go to ONE soon. Mica vs Kade 2😳

[@louc6442]

@@joshjitsuBJJur a 🤡 go watch ADCC 2023

[@deathmachine808]

Craig won quintet by himself. Come on.

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

Haha pretty much

[@itakarerio2821]

That young 17 year old ragazza who trains with Danaher and trains in Superman Jump suits needs to be on the list as one of the best women too

[@ezrapaul6808]

Griffith above Dante is crazy

[@garrettmandrell9722]

Jacob Couch #8 on this list but #1 in our hearts. Can’t wait to see more of his matches

[@MrDEVILDOG]

Jozef is 🔥. Meragali is top 5 all time in my opinion.

[@Osprey4K]

Jozef won euro trials not asia trials

[@ayoublabtoufi5748]

Great video! Love ur content! The rankings are on point! Small fyi there is a couple of mistakes regarding the adcc trials that josef and luke won. Josef did european's (not asian's) and luke did asian's (not european's).

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

Thank you very much! 🙌 Ah I double checked and I actually think both won European trials, nice catch

[@RealJesseONFIRE]

Excellent list

[@uxblueprint]

Where would you put natty rod?

[@johnwayne159]

Helena 99-1 2023, 93 subs, 10+ gold in opens and silver in trials. NO MENTION? This is only the beginning.

[@KareemBonner]

There will never be a perfect list and 💯 liked your rankings. Your Top 3, can't argue there.😊

[@victurchen]

Great vid!

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

Thank you 🙌

[@phule5966]

Awesome breakdown man

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

Thank you 🙌

[@billpence5444]

lol that wss an awesome ending

[@joehiggs4349]

Good for a no-gi list. Wish there was a gi or overall list like this.

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

This was my overall list. Who would you put on from a gi perspective?

[@sale6129]

Where is nicky Rod

[@aup007]

Chen won European trials, not asian trials

[@user-bt6pi5wk1x]

Cole Abate definitely deserves to be a part of the honorable mentions list

[@JiuJitsuM4]

Lyzz Mitrovic and Kelsey Carter need to be on this list.

[@Darko-ig3jt]

Tainan?

[@DrHarbirSingh]

Can’t put steroid abusers on a GOAT list

[@rileyatkinsonbjj]

tainan not on the list ??

[@TheDomLouis]

Helena Craver??

[@MrOpenSeseme]

I dont agree that Gi and No-Gi are the same sport anymore. Good discussion otherwise .

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

Ya you’re probably right. That being said, I have a lot of respect for the competitors having success in both avenues

[@VegaH_]

you misspelled my name

[@echols2010]

Mica Galveo should be #2 , Ruotolo bros should at least be honorable mentions

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

Ruotolos only competed a few times each though

[@echols2010]

@@joshjitsuBJJ true Jansen Gomes then he beat Tainan Dalpra and The Ruotolo at worlds and competed in several no gi comps and also going up a weight class and beating this years world champ in that div

[@louc6442]

This guy completely is a 🤡

[@aidanpatman-clark7131]

No Mikey muscemeci ????

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

He had 4 pretty easy matches imo 🤷

[@denholmsinclair3483]

Nei Tommy langaker ??

[@user-lz5pv4qf5z]

No Nicky Rod?

[@xXLukasXx9]

2:10 european trials

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

Nice catch

[@goncalosilva8238]

Where is tainan?

[@thothorifeed7473]

nicky rod

[@user-fk1gt4jk5n]

What about Tainan?

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

Cool to see him competing in no gi now. He lost at worlds though and prob had his worst year in a while in 2023

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

@@tomasgreen77 I think that was the only loss. He didn’t have a super active year but was very dominant in the comps he did. I bet he has a better year next year

[@anthonypalarchio7079]

Nicky rod?

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

Could have been on there too. Just not super active

[@danielguguchiya1273]

I feel like izaak should be on the list as he beat people on this list this year and couch only won on thing and you say izaak didnt win enough stuff seems a little inconsistant

[@joshjitsuBJJ]

Honestly that what the hardest person to leave off the list. I agree he had a great year and beat couch so it would make sense but still he just wasn’t getting as many finishes and I thought to leave him off

[@danielguguchiya1273]

But still he beat jo chen couch and riberto jimenez ​@@joshjitsuBJJ

[@theopereira7460]

Diogo reis??

[@vladimirhrboticky6613]

I believe Helena Crevar should be here as well.

[@OGsquats]

The only list “she” should be in is the best trans athletes list.

[@aidanpatman-clark7131]

@@OGsquatsnice rage bait

[@RonyRustico345]

Mica the Phenom? 5th? 🤔 Okay..

[@anthonymentalewicz5143]

This list would have been funny had you just said - steroids are 1 through 10. Do roids = become the greatest bjj person ever. Just do roids and this sport is the easiest thing ever.

[@OGsquats]

How are Chen and couch above giancarlo?! 🤣 isaak michelle beat the two of them and he isn’t on the list! And let’s be fair ffion is neck and neck with meragali on this list, victor Hugo won what he won because Meregali didn’t enter, ffion beat all comers and other than “big Dan” which was close who of note has Hugo beat no gi?

[@louc6442]

Bro your picking mica galvoa? He took steroids and Ibjjf disqualified him and you pick these people. Wow. Do you remember who won ADCC against Mica ? 🤡

[@skylerburns3170]

Lol the whole sport is on steroids IBJJF doesn't mean as much as it used to... Idk how you watch Mica and don't think he's one of the best especially for his age

[@OGsquats]

@@tomasgreen77 same with Andrey, that guy is on the most gear out of any grappler other than galvao.

[@louc6442]

@@tomasgreen77that’s because no one cares about Brazil. 🤡
