I listened the complete interview. DC is just having fun.. u need to listen the response to DCs claim.. also remember DC a light heavyweight talking about smashing a lightweight
Would you believe he’s only 5’9? 5’9 is respectable and all, don’t get me wrong. But look me in the eye and tell me you would have ever guessed that the UFC heavyweight champion used to be a 5’9 refrigerator who Khabib Nurmagamedov had a solid inch on. That’s crazy.
@@TonecrafteLuthiery After 5'9" I think you fall in into the "universal" height category where you can be great at any sport (sans basketball) The current one championship HW champion Anatoly who is unbeaten and I believe and hang with the best UFC HW's is about 5'10" as well, and feydor was about 5'10" as well. I think after 5'9" you can compete with anyone.

It’s a great thing for this UFC champions to always interact and keep in touch, because that alone can build a great friendship and may open up a business opportunities for both sides.
What nonsense? DC in his prime is one of the best wrestlers of all time, he could probably still beat Islam at wrestling with a bit of a training block...

The sport version of the form wants to go to your back. It’s kinda like TKD as a sport: hands down, all kicks. You gotta find somewhere that teaches/trains the life-practical versions. Whole different game, then.
@henry247 yeah nobody is talking about take downs really, just maintaining top control. Of course it's easier if you shoot a single leg as opposed to pull guard but still, you see plenty of BJJ guys give up amazing pos trying for a sub when rly just stay on top and GnP and work for a sub from there if you w a nt like some arm triangle or something

This is true, bottom position is one of the worst positions for real fighting and MMA, unless there's a big gap in the BJJ skills, the guy on top will always have the advantage.
Well most don’t box wrestle or do Bjj so I can fight someone off the street from the guard because 99 percent don’t know shit so your wrong but if both trained then it’s a problem
More schools need wrestling and striking in their programs. Too many newer schools seem to be purely sport BJJ focused, at least what I have been seeing here in Florida.
@@JT76912 if used it many times to success it’s false not to grapple in a street fight never had I had to worry about many attackers always one on one but yes it can be dangerous I’m 34 now a family man I don’t even put myself in them situations lol
He's 100% right, you can be a BJJ black belt but if you have a seriously talented wrestler on top, I mean that's hard to deal with. A lot of BJJ practitioners have far too much confidence in the guard.
He's completely right, I'm Brazilian but I think bbj is a fucking boring type of fight I don't like jiu-jitsu competitions literally because of that, they have trouble staying on top they really like being on the bottom on the ground that doesn't do the least in a real fight, If the jiu-jitsu fighter has great wrestling and especially if he manages to mix these two arts very well, this fighter will be very difficult to deal with
@@oliverhart7013 Sambo world champion got embarassed by a 19 year old Jiu jItsu kid from Hawaii Kade Ruotolo. Sambo is officially lost any street cred it ever had.
What do you mean..if he is not bb,who is?There is Brasilian UFC guy who i think gives black belts online.. Mauricio Tinguinha ...in northern California they give you black belt if your are big shot , high ranked cop etc...belt system is suck bro.....ego ..thats why i want to do no gee only
@edibleCHUM wrestling sucks with no submission game. Just look at Henry cejudo vs Aljamain sterling. If Henry's bjj was any good he'd have beaten Aljo
I' do mma with boxing and muay thai as my base, I've done jiu jitsu for 5 years now with little wrestling and islam aint wrong, hardest part not being pinned where a wrestler wants you once you on the ground
I agree. I wrestled my whole life and now almost 5 years into BJJ I just still don’t see why people will pull guard and play from their backs. It doesn’t do it for me. I also have a huge issue when I tap someone and they lecture me on why my guard game needs improvement. Also, take downs. Seriously, we HAVE to be better at takedowns.
Try finding a Japanese Jujutsu Gym. It teaches throws,takedowns, strikes, grappling, joint manipulation and chokeholds. I just don’t think there is many in the U.S.
Did you just say, you have a huge issue when you tap someone, and they lecture you about your guard needs improvement? That is the crazy thing I ever heard. lol
I did no gi bjj for a year and can confirm, they don't teach you good wrestling. Darce, anaconda, and arm triangle are useful, but once you know those I rather move to judo.
@@Gazza73482 It's true thag DC was joking, DC is insecure as hell LOL, he himself knows size doesn't matter since he himself is just a FAT Lightweight and that everyone at 205 gave him way bigger issues than the guys at 265, but he'd never admit that Islam would whoop him LOL.
@@HarpoonTheWhaleryes he’s a terrific wrestler but it’s the reason why we have weight classes. DC has great control of his weight so it’s impossible for Khabib to move him
@@Raj_1015 gotcha.. it's just crazy to imagine anyone smashing him. I can understand him beating him but holy shit. But yeah DC is huge fo sho and a fantastic grappler
😂😂😂😂 his ears and eyes kind of make him look like Bert lol. He gets that worried look like when Berts missing Ernie late at night during his bubblebath
Yeah Islam is spot on. Craig Jones, mostly known to mma fans as Volkonovski’s bjj coach, said that the first time he rolled with mma guys he couldn’t pin them. He actually studied what the Dagestani guys were doing to hold these mma fighters down so well
@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu In most sports, especially new sports you'll see a lot of evolution in how things are done and it happens at a rapid pace. Matt Hughes and Couture were surely monsters in their era but they'd get wrecked by these new level fighters from the North Caucasus. Genetics also plays a role as it's not a coincidence that a small mountaintop area with a population of less than 1 million keeps producing insane MMA talent over and over and over again.
@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu Better balance, better situational awareness and a better knowledge of leverage. These new grapplers coming out from the North Caucasus are just different. They're on another level.
Jiu Jitsu in its core philosophy is a gentle art doesn’t depend on brute strength to win fights. It’s about efficient use of mind and body (the concept of “Ju”) - there is are times when it’s more efficient to hold position and there are times when it’s more efficient to give up that position. The gentleness means if you feel you’re weaker than your opponent in a certain position, it’s more efficient to give way when the opponent pushes you away from that position and find a position in which you’re stronger than him. But practically this can become very complicated at high level competitions because your competition is going to be equally strong in most positions and that’s why competitive Jiu Jitsu is full of dudes on gear.
Jiu Jitsu has many ways of controlling and applying submissions from under the opponent. But it is not a rule being under. It was popularized in MMA the bottom position because many guys would fearlessly enter the guard for a ground and pound and end up being controlled and losing the fight. But between expericenced fighters or even in street fights (self defense), jiu jitsu fighters frequently avoind being under the opponent. This guy talked shit.
The problem is that People even top fighters didnt understand that for dagestani fighters, BJJ becomes so easy for them after their background training along childrenhood They are beyond level
@@danielmontilla1197 from aikido to judo, everybody almost assumes that if their martial art fails it must be the falt of the practitioner. Bias. no, he was good at judo, if it was judo, he would have won by quickly throwing his opponent and pinning him flat on his shoulder blades for 15 seconds. But it wasn't judo. So the fight continiued and his opponent with zero ground fighting skill scrambled his way on top. Jiujitsu adress that. Judo newaza dosen't. It isn't the same thing.
@@katokianimation This doesn't make the least sense. Martial arts don't fail, it's the athletes' shortcomings and methods of training that render the specific techniques of any martial art successful or not in an MMA context. There're no boxers or judokas or wrestlers competing in MMA, there're MMA fighters with boxing, judo or wrestling backgrounds combined and adapted for the cage. If a striker with a Muay Thai background gets knocked out by a non-specialist does that mean that Muay Thai is "ineffective"? Or is it the fighter's fault? Same goes for grapplers of any kind losing top control. It seems to me you're trying to say that the guy was a "pure" judoka, you mean a complete purist? My dude, no purist of any kind does well in today's octagon. If you want to know about *MMA fighters* with strong Judo backgrounds just ask.
@@danielmontilla1197 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tkLApczMkkU.html It happens at amateur level. You can belive whatever. If in judo you have something 30 second to finish the match before the referee stand you up, if in fight you don't know what to do after that, it is the faliure of edducation. In jiujitsu however it can go on for minutes on the ground. It isn't the same.
@@gamessportsandmore3371 brunson has good wrestling though... he's also just old now. Romero not being as good as he was in his 30s at the age of 46.. wow shocker. who would have thought.
MMA with Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu incorporated is the way to go these days. Most BJJ dojos have evolved into MMA because of these reasons, doesn’t take away from the fact that BJJ is one of the most effective martial arts in history.
@KillerB86 earning a bjj black belt outside the octagon is different from being a bjj expert inside the octagon. Let's say he's a 'real' black belt, he never used it in the ufc, instead, he used American wrestling plus ground and pound to control his opponents on the ground. If you don't believe me, NAME a fighter who he beat in the UFC via submission? You can't!
