What did he used to look like? Because that doesn't look anything like saucy to me.... he's not even jacked. Not very vascular. Where are androgen traps and delts?
I'm a huge Nicky Rod fan and I've always been supporting him thinking he's the one to finally beat Gordon. After this performance, it doesn't seem like he's improving his ju jitsu at all. Kind of a bummer.
He’s improving. He used to only have a body lock pass and rear naked choke. It just seems like his A-game is basically his only game. If he can’t pass your guard, he doesn’t have many options.
Nicky complains too damn much about Gordon. He should be more reserved, fix his holes and improve. He is too inconsistent to be considered in the best of the best conversation.
Hi Flo thanks for posting. Small request: Can you stop this “coaches corner” stuff? We don’t want to see anything else while we’re watching the matches live. We want to watch the match (especially the main event) in its largest format without distraction. Thank you!
The coaches corner wouldn’t be that bad if they mic’d them or something. An insight into what the corner is saying could be cool. But you’re right, a minute and a half long static shot of a coach with no audio in the main event does not add any excitement lol
Nick’s a very interesting competitor. But his ego gets to him 😕 would love to see him working different games and actually giving himself to the Jiu-jitsu mentality
This is a pivotal match for Nicky. Discovered some holes in his game and has been working to change them. Its been cool to see him progress since this match.
Regarding the Main Event. Thats Like and why this Sport looses Fans if the winning strategy is lying on back getting "judges favor" and the win. What a pity
one of the only sports that represents Brazil well and has little recognition, there's a football called football that says it's our favorite sport, which only embarrasses us Brazilians...
Taza should leave New Wave and join B-Team with how much that guy never comes through....actually the dude should just find a new occupation all together. How long has he been under Danaher and he still can't do jack?
Kyle vs Dory one guy on his back getting multiple submission attempts. With the other trying to pass. Dory Wins. Nicky vs Hugo one guy on his back getting multiple submission attempts. With the other trying to pass. Hugo wins How are they scoring these????
Hugo has beautiful jiujitsu. He had all the submission attempts, took the back. He definitely won no doubt about it. For such a big guy he’s so smooth.
17:37 Is that Geo Martinez from 10th Planet trying to pressure the juges? That probably shouldn't be a thing. There should be some security there. (Not that the average security dude can do anything against Geo but as a deterrent at least 😄)
So I pay for a subscription, watch ads during the broadcast, and now the whole event is free on RU-vid. So Im just paying to watch the event live? Consider my subscription canceled.
Matches like that give this sport a bad name. How is Nick gonna attack the Entire time, Hugo is gonna lie on his back, and then the latter wins. That's why ADCC kills the other organizations when it comes to popularity. Shyt like this won't fly there.
Esse jiu jitsu passivo dos brasileiros é horrível, lutadores como Ronaldo Jacaré, Gilbert Durinho, Toquinho, Wagner Rocha davam gosto de ver eles lutando na raça. Hoje a maioria tem um jiu-jitsu que parece ballet, de tão frouxo. Nick Rod perdeu, mas o cara luta com sangue no olho, sem medo, perdeu porque o outro amarrou. Enfim, esse é o meu ponto de vista.
@devonanderson1832 legitimately thanks for the heads up. I haven't checked for like a year now kinda got old checking every month and it wasn't changing so i gave up
