Helio was once asked about Rickson legendary 400 -0 record. His response was if Rickson was 400-0 then he might as well be 1 million -0. If the patriarch of your own family calls your record BS then I dont think it counts for much. And what the hell is middle-hw and no weight div. World JJ champion for two decades supposed to mean? The mundials are held every year and I'm pretty sure Rickson hasn't won it every year for 20 years. Everything about this guy is hype. He has one decent opponent on his record. Maybe rickson would have thrashed all of the Pancrase boys who knows. The point is he chose not to compete against them. I personally think Jack Johnson would still do well against todays HWs, but one can't say that he completely ignored the top fighters in his genre at the time. My wife can claim to the world I have a 10 inch cock, but until I throw it out on the table its nothing more than speculation. If you don't fight the best around then all you are is a big "what could have been". Once again is the guy a great innovator of MMA...sure...Is he a legendary grappler and submissoin wrestler?....absolutely....Has he done anything to prove(notice I said prove) he could hang with the likes of Fedor, Couture, Liddle, Shogun, Wandy, Gomi, BJ, GSP, Nogs in a true MMA match? Not even close. I know its contested by Rickson but he does have an official loss to Ron Tripp in the 1993 US Sambo Championships.
