What Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza and Demian Maia can do, so can Robert Drysdale. That’s the thinking, anyway.
Transitioning from high-level grappling competitor to high-level mixed
martial artist was made to look easy by the Strikeforce champion Souza
and former UFC No. 1 contender Maia. It’s not. Ask somebody like Andre
Galvao, who has had mixed results so far in his career.
The jury is still out on what level of success Drysdale will eventually
attain after making his metamorphosis, which remains in the early
stages.
