It's not outrageous to suggest Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos has the best boxing in the 265-pound weight class, but what about his jiu-jitsu?
That's like trying to figure out how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop.
The problem is, nobody can get "Cigano" to the ground without getting lit up like the Times Square Christmas tree. That includes 265-pound grappling guru Frank Mir, who got knocked around at UFC 146 before the Brazilian mercifully sent him to Strikeforce.
Fortunately for Lyoto Machida, Junior's title wasn't on the line when they did some light rolling as part of "The Dragon's" grand opening at his new mixed martial arts (MMA) gym in Brazil, where dos Santos flopped around on the mat and let out a few audible groans.
Anyone see anything here to make an argument for -- or against -- his ground game?
