I don't think Rizzo has really shown much of a ground game. He knows about as much as Mo Smith I think. Just enought to keep him out of trouble.

I think a matchup between these two would mostly stay on the feet anyway. And even though Rizzo might be a better puncher, I can't believe he could get a KO or even a TKO over Vov.

It would definitely be a war though.

I think Igor is too thick for Rickson.....but anyway Vovchanchyn is like the ultimate survivior, he always manages to pull through, and I have never EVER have seen him get rocked. Rizzo may be too passive for Vovchanchyn, but I can imagine the leg kicks being a big factor. However if Igor rushes in like he usually does, he can bypass the need to defend them.

On the other hand, Rizzo has reach and height over Vovchanchyn, a big advantage for a standup fight I believe.

Fighters like Igor V. and Pedro Rizzo lack the AURA that it takes to step into the ring with Rickson Gracie. So does anyone else that's good for that matter.

Igor is more game than Rizzo, and, as we all know, gameness is the crucial determining factor in who wins MMA matches.

Of course, he did quit to Coleman, so who knows?
