I don't think that Almeida has shows the power that Filho has, and I think that he's got some great skills, but he's a great grappler. Still, I don't think that he's quite at that tier and would do any damage to him on the ground.

The one I had wished I'd mentioned was Dean Lister, who is definitely a better grappler than Filho. So I'd add him, but not necessarily Almeida.
