Roger Gracie v Comprido

Roger Gracie was back on the mats after a five year lay off and competed in Las Vegas last weekend against Comprido.  It looked like he hadn't been away at all.  You can watch the fight and see a breakdown of the Pocket sweep by my good friend Jeremey Arel. This is one of my favourite sweeps, one I learned at white belt and Roger shows just how effective old school can be at the highest level.

As always, thanks to the guys at BJJEE.com for the footage.
