While at Thiccc Boy Studios, Ryan had this to say on Sambo and Jiu-Jitsu in MMA
“So… Definitely in MMA, sambo guys are doing a lot better than Jiu-Jitsu guys are. That’s because sambo guys have far better wrestling – and they have better submission wrestling – than Jiu-Jitsu guys.”
Context does have to be taken into consideration though.
“And it all depends on what context you’re talking about.
If you put a sambo guy in ADCC, for example, they do notoriously bad. But if you see them in MMA, they’re doing pretty well there.
I think it depends on the context you’re talking about.”
However, with submission grappling, Ryan gives the nod to Jiu-Jitsu.
“But I think, definitely for grappling, our Olympics is the ADCC. If you look at sambo guys competing in ADCC, they do notoriously bad compared to Jiu-Jitsu guys.
So that’s why I give the edge, at least in grappling, to Jiu-Jitsu.”
