Buchecha's 2014 Worlds run is the most dominant single tournament we'll ever see — change my mind

Marcus Almeida swept the heaviest division at IBJJF Worlds 2014 without dropping a round. Submitted Rodolfo. Submitted Bernardo Faria. Closed out absolute with his own teammate. No decisions. No advantage wins. No close calls. Just a rolling extinction event. Who else has ever done this at the highest weight class? Roger's Worlds runs were dominant but not THIS dominant. Galvao's ADCC runs had close finals. Gordon's 2022 absolute had a war with Felipe Pena. Make the case for anyone else.

Roger 2009 Worlds is the only argument I'll entertain. Same submission rate, different era of competition though.

The Rodolfo finals match doesn't get talked about enough. Buchecha submitted him in 2 minutes. RODOLFO. In his prime.

Galvao 2011 ADCC absolute. That's my pick. He went through Cyborg, Werdum, and Pe de Pano. All in one bracket.
