In gi i'd favour him over all 4 (he has a win over Galvao), he'd smash Kron.
to be fair Vieira prob has like 40 pounds on Kron

I'm not sure what you're asking me at this point. I clearly differentiated between just BJJ and MMA grappling. I said those 3 guys are the most accomplished in BJJ (both gi and no gi combined based on their gold medals at worlds and adcc). That's all I can objectively tell you. In MMA, I said guys like Mir, Maia, and Werdum have done so much more. Galvao wasn't in your list so I didn't take him into consideration.So
Rogers
Marcelo
Vieira and the rest?
Better than Jacare, Werdum, Galvao, Kron? I remember watching Marcelo debut live, the guy had judo background, no BJJ, and he fended Marcelo off just fine, funny how it works.
That's precisely why he said he would smash him lol.to be fair Vieira prob has like 40 pounds on Kron

Rodolfo would annihilate Kron in the gi.Kron tapped world champions and took down Buchecha.
Rodolfo is very strong and big, but his bullrush style and judo lend itself to Kron working from guard and Kron’s guard is insane.
Few can steam roll Kron. Only Sergio (once), Garcia beat him twice, Estima, Burns and Abmar.
And Kron avenged 3 of those.

Too much strength and pressure and Rodolfo was too good and fundamentally sound to fall for Krons tricks based appproach.
He needs to develop his ground and pound.
IDK but that back take was unreal last week-end.
Yeah these guys like Roger and Vieira looks super slick taking backs. Rogers never became elite in MMA, I'm not sure if Vieira can become an elite MMA fighter like Werdum or Maia did.
Would be great. If I'm Vieira's coach, I will really do my absolute best to get him used to getting hit. He's like...Lesnar ish...he just doesn't react well to getting hit I think.
Best thing Rodolfo could do is train with Rafael Corderio IMO. Dude is amazing at turning BJJ artists into striking machines.

Leandro and the AKA crew really figured out the meta for mma grapplingWhy not train with Khabib and become a takedown, hold down and gnp monster? Coupled with the elite BJJ.

According to Khabib Leandro and DC were the biggest influences on his ground game at AKA. I know he said Leandro really helped him improve his submissions.I'm not sure how big a role Leandro had to play, but yeah, If there was an ideal dream MMA grappler, I would couple Khabib's takedowns and pressure with Maia's groundwork and submissions.
That would result in dozens of early first round subs with very little effort exerted.
