Cameron Diffley- Diffley was a gifted BJJ fighter and coach. He became a black belt very young. He did well in tournaments and even in MMA matches and was on TUF, where he lost a UD to Neil Magney. He seems to want to do more coaching and less competing, even though he is still very young.
Here he is submitting UFC vet Josh Burkman.
