from what I heard Mark Kerr won a major jiujitsu tournament and basically did it as a wrestler (or that's how he was viewed) When I saw Mark Kerr in his early UFC performances, he looked incredibly strong maybe if Mitchell can have a high level of wrestling and control that alone can make him difficult to deal with (like Mark Kerr)

Amazing video with thug Rose! What sweet hearts Rose and Pat were and an emphatic performance from you Mitch. Who knew Rose vs Mitch would be so entertaining 😂

Because Thug is so technically sound she was able to make this fun instead of ridiculous. Mitch is 6’2” and 320 lbs, and Thug is 5’5” and 115lbs. Mitch is an elite Strongman and very agile, which makes it even more of a mismatch. Thug is so talented that I truly believe she would arm bar most men as big as Mitch because she knows how to use their size against them. What I love about her is how she was never in awe of such a powerful man. She honestly felt that she could submit him, but he is a good athlete and not easily submitted. This was indeed enjoyable because they never went all in and kept it loose. I have seen Thug fight multiple times and she is badass. I wish her much more success in MMA.

which wrestlers? like Mark Coleman or Mark Kerr? Bobby Lashley and Lesnar had collegiate wrestling background, but they might be too busy with their commitments Yoel Romero? he competed in mma recently and seems very strong if you want an oldschool name, Kevin Jackson? Henry Cejudo? I think Dan Henderson competed in the Olympics, and Randy Couture might've been an alternate? Cain Velasquez as well also another very old school name, who had a big mma bout with Royce Gracie, Dan Severn?

Rose belongs in a darn movie. I mean, she doesn't even have to act with the kind powerfull and gritty persona she has. Imagine this movie being called "Thorns of Resilience," which introduces a touching coming-of-age story with intriguing characters, each dealing with their own struggles and motivations. Fighting off injustice, bullies, evil, ignorance and family and ofc the Mr.Evil character that haunts her past, while dealing with the roughness and despair of the life she lives. It ends with a gradual MMA integration, showing intense training sequences and eventual fight scenes while she battles the world and her own sanity. I mean, I'd like to watch this movie :]

Pat was one of my favorite heavyweights to watch. Always an entertaining fighter.

Valtellini and rose is high level. But you have yet to test yourself with a high level bjj male guy. So far you gave grappled with Strikers who learned jujitsu later on. Would be awesome if you visited danaher for a bjj session and bjj wisdom. You would also love getting your potensial judged by danaher, he has seen everything!

I never forget the interview where Pat said his girlfriend Rose was the real one to watch, low and behold he predicted her success and I'm a huge fan for both. Matter of fact I'm about to go search up a Pat Berry leg kicks highlights.

Day before my birthday and this video dropped!?!?! Might as well be my birthday

definitely need more super heavyweights in jui jitsu

Reminds me of when Brian Shaw rolled with Dustin Porier for a bit and even tapped him just with his weight (I'm still hoping that one day Brain will be on the JRE and roll with Rogan. This is interesting, some strongmen are such great versatile athletes, beyond static lifters. Honestly the UFC heavyweight division in just a year or two will be up for grabs. Jones and Stipe are about to retire and that division has mostly just been dominated by strikers. A guy with size and strength and athleticism and wrestling could do well. Of all the divisions it's by far the easiest for the least experienced and least well-rounded to get into. Getting down to 265 wouldn't be that hard, I mean Brock walked around at 280 and cut it easily.

The scariest part is he’s also athletic and agile not just huge. Like Brock lesnar type genetics .

Mindblowing. I know Pat's a striker, but still he was a legit UFC HW and after the first 30 seconds I could tell he was definitely trying and could not get anywhere. Mitchell is simply too big & strong. Brian tapped Dustin, Thor broke Gunnar's ribs - size matters folks.

Beast !

3:31 When I was in the Marines a fellow NCO, who was absolutely massive, choked guys out with raw strength so many different ways. One of the times was a bear hug. He just squeezed and the LCpl's eyes nearly popped out and in a few seconds he was unconscious.

So impressive Rose keeps scrapping against such a huge and powerful opponent.

At this sort of strength difference it's funny how something basic like just getting a bear-hug on someone becomes a legit submission move. Cruuuush!

Shes great i like how she got somthin from your training

Honestly a dude of Mitchell's dimension's wouldn't really need to strike much. If he gets his grappling and submission game down there will be pain.
