Posted on April 24, 2012, 04:04 PM by Anton GurevichFew weeks ago, we featured an exclusive interview wwith BJJ extraordinaire Robert Drysdale, who shared thoughts about his pro-MMA career, and coaching at Drysdale Jiu-Jitsu in Las Vegas, Nevada.
LowKick.com photographer Scott Hirano traveled to Drysdale's Kingdom, which serves as a grappling home to some of the best fighters on the planet. Frank Mir, Dan Hardy and Forrest Griffin were all there, working on their submission skills at what appears to be one of the most star-studded gyms on the planet.

Drysdale sure looked like he struggled with the takedown on Hardy, just like all of Hardy's opponents have...
I think drysdale is more helping out, coaching and giving pointers.. hes the bjj coach for forrest griffin. and rolls with mir a lot apparently
I'd actually be curious to see a video of how he stacks up to Mir in a grappling match. Be fun to see him roll with Nog too.
Every time I see Forrest, I am reminded how big he is. He almost looks bigger than Mir. It's crazy he hasn't been able to get back on a good win streak with that kind of size advantage.
Rampage is huge, tito is big, forrest is big,and jones obviously is big. but griffin wins all his fights with near zero athleticism, hes probably the most unathletic guy in the ufc, no real physical gifts other fighters have. an ordinary guy who was more or less and underdog his entire career, who managed to get the belt. size isnt really a factor anyway, rashad evans is a really small guy
Where he lacks in athleticism he fills that gap with heart
