Robert Drysdale Transitioning to the MMA Game by Brian Michelino

      Robert Drysdale a World Champion BJJ practitioner plans to make the
move to fight his second fight in MMA. Drysdale is a guy whose Jiu
Jitsu is on par with the likes of Damian Mia and Ronaldo “Jacare”
Souza. However Just because you’re a world champion Brazilian Jiu
Jitsu expert doesn’t always mean you’re going to have success in the
cage, we can recently look at the results of Rolls Gracie’s first
fight in the UFC as proof that you’re going to need to learn how to
deal with some new elements.
       Drysdale started Grappling in 1998 and since then has become a
multiple time world champion; he will have his first fight against
Clay Davidson at Armageddon Fighting Championships 4: Revelation.
Apart from being such a successful grappler Drysdale is one of the
premier trainers to some of the most well known MMA fighters, perhaps
Drysdale is just as famous for his detailed Jiu Jitsu instruction as
he is for his rock solid BJJ game.
       However Drysdale isn’t satisfied with just using his BJJ to win his
MMA fight, Drysdale has been working with the likes of Forest Griffin
and Frank Mir two UFC staples to try and tighten his overall game.
        The fight is Saturday night in Victoria, British Columbia his
second professional MMA bout. In his first bout he defeated Bastein
Huveneers from a triangle choke in just a minute and twelve seconds.
If Drysdale wins a few more fights in impressive fashion I could see
him in a Larger MMA organization like the UFC in no time, and with him
taking his training as serious as he is I believe Drysdale will be a
forced to be reckoned with in the future.
