🥋 AI Ranks Top BJJ Pros

What up Flowrollers, it’s a great day to not respect the clock at all if you're even remotely close to a sub at the end of rounds.

THE MAIN EVENT 🚨

If you play chess, you’re familiar with the ELO system used to rank chess players. It’s a grading technique that involves taking a fighter’s wins and losses, and creating a relative skill level ranking across the entire sport.

Andre Galvao didn’t even make the top 20! The implication is his wins were generally not against the most elite competition.

Personally I think Jiu Jitsu really needs a ranking system like this. UFC fans love weight class and “pound for pound” rankings.
