agreed. that slap shit is alright for a instagram reel but this is so much better.

as a "fan" i prefer combat jujitsu. Still has the slaps and great submissions but also speeds things up and makes for more exciting grappling.

We do? The point of grappling is to remove the effectiveness of an opponent's strikes, not to remove strikes.

Combat hockey. Just an octagon of ice and dudes in hockey gear

No, the average fan likes that stupid shit. Most UFC fans just want to see people beat each other up. They don't care about technique or skill, they just want flash and violence.

I will slap you

This shit is boring, can’t lie. Power slap is way more entertaining

The UFC is into ENTERTAINMENT, first & last. The average audiences don't have the knowledge to understand, much less appreciate, this kind of extremely technical skill-based sporting event or even general MMA, where the permutation to get a win is much more showy, wild, and unruly. Anyway, whenever/wherever the dollar sign dictates, entertainment triumphs over actual skilled-based sports. INCIDENTALLY, that is why promotions like Khabib's "Eagle FC" didn't go anywhere: Khabib has ZERO understanding of, or tolerance for, entertainment. He wanted to do a pure skill-based fighting organization. Very little audience & money would flow into that!

@@kiabtoomlauj6249 But that doesn't mean that there aren't purists in the world who only care about performance. Not about the show. That's why I recommend everyone to watch IMMAF. No show just performances

Slap to the face of the fans

ADCC is coming to fight pass

well i do agree with the growth.....but as in there taking rather than the sport

Would rather power slap

@@oldmate99 casual

Fr man!

He should of had his arm broken.

Not many people would have felt bad if he did @TheDanielmeeks hopefully he is humbled without an injury

Wish Manson just ripped it off lol

😅😅😅 yea he should go easy in a competition.

I don’t remember writing that he should go easy. I don’t see Gordon ripping guys knees apart and he finishes with heelhocks all the time.

The bald teacher

imagine the danaher "do it"

is eddie bravo jarjar

I remember hearing GSP say before he calls Danaher the "Emperor"

haha.. funniest comment on a grappling video

Amen

This isn't jiu-jitsu. Those guys would be bloody if this was jiu-jitsu.

@@CalebDiT unmmm what? What is ji jitsu then?

@@lifeisgreat1718 jiu-jitsu is a martial art for dealing with competent strikers. If nobody is even trying to hit you, what's the purpose of your competency? So you can win a trophy?

​@Calebfulness not true as most jiu jitsu from the bottom doesn't work if there's strikes. This is what Craig Jones has said multiple times

One FC has muay thai with mma gloves

​@Adan M how many Sambo guys have been champion in the UFC? Now how many BJJ guys have been champion? Hmmmm

​@@jaimeparra8865 Khabib and all those guys coming out of Dagestan running the UFC currently are Sambo. BJJ hasn't dominated in decades. Even wrestling passed that up. You're a few decades behind on the state of the sport. (Although a few decades ago, you should have seen Fedor dominating too)

​@@jaimeparra8865 plus Dan Severn, Oleg Taktarov, Andrei Arlovski...all Sambo champs and notable MMA fighters. UFC fighters aren't winning championship in BJJ that often, even if they train it it some. And the BJJ Champs aren't fighting in the UFC much (Like Ryan here)

​@@SuperMontsta khabib and Islam are onky 2 Dagestan Champs... khabib had 2 or 3 title defenses, so few I can't remember. And Islam is only current Sambo champ. Aljo and glover are 2 recent bjj Champs. That's more than the Sambo. Also Brandon Moreno uses bjj, he's a champ. And historically WAAAAAAAAAAAY more bjj Champs than Sambo. So I literally don't know what you're talking about

imagine tapping a professional Jiu Jitsu competitor using your pecks

It's a highlight 😂

Aaaaaaad... . . .its gone....

Me too. It would be amazing for my insomnia sometimes.

Who can even challenge this guy is the question

Gordon got choked

@@thehoodedvagabum7375 not sure if you’re aware, but there’s a sport called KICKBOXING since it appears that submission grappling is too complex for your simple mind.

@@oldmate99 time ran out lol

Fuck Gordon Ryan, the B-Team with Craig Jones and Nicky Rod is where it's at. Even Gordon's own brother went to their team since he's such a douche.

A true embarrassment to the sport he is

Hes a kid….

i wish the guy wouldve ripped his arm off

No one was hating on Gordon, they're just not very professional commentators and were looking for something to say. As far as the victory, it's strange in the scope of overall grappling. EBI rules are goofy.

@@egdm1235 if it was edcc rules, Gordon would've submitted him. Nicky was taking advantage of the rule set by not engaging and waiting for overtime. Nicky was also greasing. So, again, I ask... How was it strange?

Wow. They have a bit of banter about his hair dye and express excitement that the most dominant force in submission grappling was about to lose on a big stage for the first time in a very long time and you call that “hating”. Ok, snowflake.

And the best way to shut the haters is to win every time. King Gordon!

If submissions are on the clock doesn't stop the submission in many rule sets. Also the announcers adore gordon, you heard one critique of his bleach beard (cause that announcer is a mans man) and think theyre conspiring against him? That's reaching. They got excited because as someone said that would be te biggest upset in YEARS. Gordon got no hate in this video at all.

100% agree 👍

He's a rat

Chest smothering. Works like a charm when you're a big dude.

might have been an ezekiel

They START them in those positions in overtime

@@biscobisco1882 they don’t start them in 50/50…

@@lobsterairsoft499 You mean the regular time portion? Thought you were referring to overtime.

Dana: I present to you - Power Slap, enjoy 😂

Then you should thank Japanese aswell

@@radeczech15 what a worthless reply lmao

It’s not pure Japanese jujitsu anymore! Lol! Thank Brazil and America!

Shagoli vs palhares 🙏🙏🙏

From what we see here it looked to me like it was part pressure and maybe some sort of neck crank/ squeeze given the wrapped position of the arms as he's letting go.

@@jamiewarren2307 yeah, that seems more likely.

Nope, that's a smother that's commonly used in the New Wave team from mount

Only other grapplers find it interesting

He's too old. Even if Werdum was in his prime, he'd still probably lose.

No shot. When werdum learned bjj, the sport was still very young and developing. Ryan is a pioneer of the sport (product of danaher) and has made tremendous impact on the way bjj is. Hes knows 4x the understanding than werdum could ever. Ryan will go down in bjj history as impactful as a Gracie once hes done.

Werdum is good for a heavyweight, but Gordon is on another level. He almost lost this one which is a rare sight to behold.

Werdum couldn't hold his own against the top 10 let alone Gordan

No le ganaría nunca . Este kin Gordon es muy versátil y siempre finaliza todo pero aquí no s pq paso ???!

yeah i thought the same. i wouldnt even wanna grapple against him. 80% chance these things just get torn off and he starts bleeding

taped up earlobes, not rings.

wanted to see him go for the break like that fat little turd does against all his opponents

No it’s not controversial. As for BJJ, there are a variety of rule sets that exist and this is one of them. Gordon is p4p #1 by a mile and he is typically used to getting the finish of most guys. That’s why he doesn’t look excited

​@@ahmadtahmass8941 How did he win? I'm unfamiliar with these rules and that didn't look like a victory for him whatsoever lol

@@JimC607 I think they were essentially tied the entire time so after 3 overtime’s the tie breaker was fastest escape and since Gordon had the fastest one earlier he wins the match.

@@feral4112 Ah, I see. Thank you for explaining

@@JimC607 they both have an opportunity to submit each other in overtime. It went to 3 overtime’s and neither was able to submit the other. So after 3 overtime’s it just goes to the fastest escape throughout the overtime periods.

Hahahaah Br é foda

Looked like an Ezekiel choke

time was up so he was telling him to release it because the match was over already

@@TheEnderBand Yes I know but I was talking some seconds before that, it looks like a tap on the thigh

This is a fact. No one says anything, just abided. I left bjj for this reason, how are we going to ignore the other half of bjj which is standup. We also are neglecting importance and beauty of judo.

@Ayyur 100mg of copium

@Ayyur you can know all the BJJ you like but it'll be useless in a self-defense scenario. Go pull guard or roll for an ankle in a street fight and get your face stomped in. The reason bjj doesn't stand anymore is because wrestlers dominate that domain. No one wants to learn wrestling and judo to become a better comprehensive BJJ student. I've been to many bjj dojos, schools of sitting and scooting. The best wrestler practices all styles of wrestling and judo. This is where BJJ has gone wrong. Before your time judo was half of BJJ but they've eradicated that. It was stand-up to a take-down to bottom game. It's so hilarious watching modern BJJ where both people play footsies on their buttcheeks. If you want respect and honor learn Japanese judo. Way more satisfying than knowing leg locks. For example, khabib is so skilled in wrestling alone that he destroys the best BJJ people in the world like charles oliveira. Fun fact I love Charles do Bronx, i trained under him and beside him with our coach Jorge Macaco Patino for years and the rest of Golds gym and Chute Boxe.

@@kaicmma that's awesome you trained with Charles!

@Chreek hes an amazing fighter and a great human being. Very humbling considering he came from the favelas

Combination of pressure on the back of the neck, chest pressure and a smother by the looks of it.

his face was getting smashed
