Wilson Ries

[Albertan]

He was on the undercard for the Elite XC on the weekend and I saw the replay yesterday and this dude was impressive. (as was his opponent who could have walked away with the W)

It was like a mini Delson Heleno

Up against a well rounded striker grappler Reis was able to absolutely dominate positionally and pass at will it was beauty watching the man go to side mount and mount like it was his birthday. His striking needs more seasoning and power but it was decent he just gassed hard and couldn't find an answer trading against the huge reach.

A guy to watch for sure, really a treat a mean half guard sweeper as well.

ya i was impressed by his takedowns, the other guy was supposed to be a great wrestler and he just couldnt stop any takedowns, ries really has a lot of room for improvement in his standup though
