It’s a no-gi submission grappling competition, not jiu jitsu; Urijah is a terrific grappler and has some serious speed and control, he won’t win but he won’t be completely outclassed. Hell, he’ll probly do better than GSP considering all GSP did last time was get flying freaking armbar’d.

Good for grappling, not good for striking I guess? Weird. I don’t think he’ll do that well though. While he has really good sub defense, I’ve never seen him as a huge submission threat.

He’s a wrestler, he might just Monson out a few people on points, but yeah he’s not a threat to win or anything.
