He was first prompted if Roger was one of the Top 5
Q: You can consider Roger one of the, many people would consider him one of the top 5 jiu jitsu competitors of all time. Would you say that’s a fair assessment?
A: I’d put him in Top 3.. I’d tie him with 3 other guys.
Q: Just out of curiosity who are they?
A: Unfortunately Ryan, Gordon right now is definitely up there. Lovato. And without a doubt I’d have to include New York, I can’t remember his name right now.
