FULL MATCH: Felipe Pena vs Nicky Rod - Tezos WNO: Pena vs Rodriguez Main Event 

I'm wondering why I paid for the membership...

@@gboccieri same -,-

Since Dana is Destroying there buisness

@@gboccieriyou paid to watch it live

Probably to keep the buzz regarding the match going. If they released it in 2 weeks we'd probably be over it. But this is a chance to have people debate and rewatch the match to do breakdowns and stuff.

Great match? That was about as boring as it gets. Two exchanges? Roriguez should have gotten 10x yellow cards for stalling.

I'd argue you grow the sport by making it interesting to watch.

freeloader.

@@johnnyhurley7161 You gotta add in yellow cards. Just like Pride back in the day.. Start docking these guys pay.. That will get em going.

@@oldeenglish64 Pena should've got some YC's too... I mean c'mon... boooooooriiiiing

Brazilians gunna brazil

It's fixed

Concordo

There was no way that Nicky Rod was gonna get that decision. WNO has a contract for Gordon and Peña. If Peña lost to Nicky Rod it would squash the hype for the rematch between Gordon and Peña.

What a joke. Can't stand judges!

And most peoples eyes...

Yes because he was attacking more

so porque tu queres- O resto do mundo discorda de ti

Você é claramente tendencioso. Nicky Rod teve mais e melhores tentativas de finalização. check the comments and likes @@PAKOIIII

@@PAKOIIII wrong u R

Totally agree and I'm Gracie barra biased.

Somebody being a short notice replacement can’t be a criteria for judges.

These guys train all year round. They’re never out of training camp so to speak, so the whole short notice thing is a meaningless excuse

@@thenotoriousm0e852 Of course not. I wasn't saying it was.

very good match, i agree, think that sub attempt won nicky the match

Just grabbing the heel with a reverse figure 4 grip is enough to break some people. Adding Nicky's full strength i'm 100% sure Pena got it broken. The knee wasn't really compromised so that's why he ate it and kept playing

Yeah yeah, you really know what really is "nothing close". Internet guy always knows more than anybody.

@@1est1do u train/compete? Nicky clearly won

@@1est1 Felipe only played defense the whole game while Nicky was the one who pressured and attacked more, almost got submissions off. If you have eyes and not have a brain of a 5 year old you know that Nicky got robbed.

Nicky deserved to loose just for greasing thats illegal

Flo is protecting their profits selling future streams of Ryan vs Pena. If they pick Ryan they have to do so much more work to build hype and sell a new narrative.

Yeah I don’t see any way Pena wins this match other than he has a bigger name in the sport.

That foot lock was not even close. He didn't have a good grip on it to break anything.

@@oteroa2 Ok let's assume that's true, it's still more attempts than Pena. Nicky stuffed all the takedowns, passed the guard at least once, two submission attempts (albeit we are assuming all crappy), and got three reversals. I'm happy to say the match was close but I personally think Nicky should have won.

Indeed, he was also acting like an asshole the entire time and calling for breaks because he's a tired piece of shit. Nicky won this EASY.

@@jw_25 The why even fucking mention it? The foot break, if it broke, doesn't fucking matter if Pena didn't tap to it. Pena pushed to the back each time Nick failed to effectively apply a footlock. Stuffed all takedowns? Wtf are you talking about? Lastly, Pena had a sweep at the halfway point, advanced position, had the guillotine attempt, etc. Nicky couldn't even pass Pena's guard. What's more, anytime Nick didn't have a body lock or an "oh shit" footlock attempt, he just stalled. The only reason you think he won is because Pena ceded top position.

Big fact.. Peña by robbery

Yea he definitely was but it’s not illegal so 🤷🏽‍♂️

Because scrambling means you lost control of the situation

@Jay Leggett if he wins the scramble how is that a score for pena? What control did he lose?

You can't win a scramble, scrambling is a last ditch effort cause you're in trouble

@@jayleggett2261 I clearly saw Nick win every scramble initiated

@@zzzzz45zzzzz79 negative watch again

Agreed, Rod's last sub-attempt starting at @32:47 was the most significant of the match

I thought so too. Especially with his late attack

Exactly! Pena will be an easy win for Gordan.

yeah the ultimate gracie barra homer

@@zz-ps5vw She was good as a color, but man they need a real play-by-play person

Lol jiu jitsu is certainly not a fight

@@AlbinoBaller22 grappling is a form of fight it’s called martial arts for a reason you probably not a partitioner so u wouldn’t know

@@AlbinoBaller22 are you watching the same video?

Because he has to attempt a pass. One person is confident in their guard and the other isn’t confident in their passing so more than likely he’s stalling the match

@@rickyrome5643 you could make the argument that Pena is scared of standing up and trying to put Nicky down

@@froggy3496 Literally lol Nick even laid down a few times like Pena and Pena didn't try to take advantage of it at all

@@Lockdown335 okay but if Nicky takes him down then you are literally back in the same position. It’s unlikely hed get side control from the takedown. Nicky almost always land in butterfly or half guard from his takedowns

need pins and ride time!

Pena went for guilottine attemps and almost got the back and some nice sweep attempts

Nicky is like 12_14 since leaving danahar death squad. How many of those 14 matches do you think he won. He didn’t win fbis match. He stalled the entire match. Now you might be confused on the rules and think being on top is a dominant position like mma used to be. So maybe that’s why. Pena made Nicky scramble constantly. You don’t win a scramble. You scramble as you were beat and in a dangerous position. Nicky’s game is very basic. He just tries fo get a body lock pass. And skills are eroding the last year or so. As he and Craig and the teachers.

@@SuperThesavage never had double hooks let alone control of the position either lol both dudes really neutralized each other well and i think Nicks footlock won it for him along with his pretty consistent pressure to engage despite people calling it stalling but body locks passes aren't a fast pass at all, it wasn't like Pena was working wrestle ups or trying to gain position constantly even when Nick laid down like Pena towards the end multiple times Pena just stayed there forcing nick to engage again because Pena refused to get up and play top game... The omoplata was never close as it was rolled out of very fast and those guillotines are just an annoyance to create an opening or panic more than anything.

@@oldironsides4107 "Stalled" hahahahahaha "You don't win scrambles" So if you have a position like Nicks awkward bodylock pass to not quite side control which forced Pena to invert out in order to avoid his guard being passed "fully" and nick scramble to back control..... he lost? dumb way of looking at things lol sure you "lost control" but the opponent never regained control either and you won a superior position from the scramble. You have no valid points as to why Pena won over Nick other than scrambles being "Unwinnable" which is kind of just pointless to say unless applied to specific examples.

@@Lockdown335 2guilotine attemps too, he got a few near reversals from what I saw too, i'm not a judge so idk I thought Pena looked decent, couldve threatened more but hes fighting a big strong dude with probably really heavy pressure

And you lost again 😂

same

I wondered if anyone would mention it. I've been on the fence on this greasing thing, but at the end of the match you can definitely see oil on the mats. Black Belt Slayer plays a dirty game.

dont make this sport more sissy than it is

@@SS3213gsdf haha it was legitimate question.

No, he kicked Nick a few times too

@@jsoverland Thanks! I saw he did in the beginning and also a few seconds after this time stamp.

Although it seems like a kick, it's supposed to be a push using the foot from close proximity, which is legal.

Not saying your wrong, but I am wondering... One sweep and an unclear back take Rod escape from vs all the passing, sub attempts, top dominance from Rod. Pena's surprise when they announced him winner tells a big story.

@@cktjoeng1747 there's not a single guard pass in this fight. Also there was no dominance from any fighter. Pena probably won because of the sweep, the omoplata attempt, guillotine attempt and the almost back take, also for shutting down completely the bodylock guard pass attempts by Rod.

That wasn’t Romulo, it’s Draculino right there! But I agree I’d never think I’d see GB and ATOS together lol

Commentator says he's out but why ?

He had to pull out due to a severe viral infection
