Nicholas Meregali & Vagner Rocha Get HEATED Ahead Of The WNO 23 Main Event 

That press conference is awesome because its literally the "angry teen" and the dad who was ALSO an angry teen when it was his time OSS hahaha

“Vagner what are your keys to victory” Vagner-I’m doing it rn 🥶

love to see this back and forth very entertaining. Seems like rocha is in meregali's head lol

“I’m not like you; I’m way better than you.” -Meregali fire lol

Honestly, Nicholas heated himself alone, Vagner was sitting here like "wtf"

By Odin’s Beard! I had no idea how wonderful Vagner Rocha’s voice is! I hope he goes into commentating ten years from now when he retires from competition!

It always trips me out when I hear Rocha speak with a thick American accent. I always expect a Brazilian accent xD

Vagner has the best english from a brazillian i have ever seen

This is more entertaining than the fight 😝 !!!!

This was the only BJJ press conference that has been entertaining considering how unlikable both guys are. It's like seeing two movie villains go at it.

Meregali might win but this was impressive with by Vagner

Vagner’s a slick talker, but he willl get dominated.

How did this end. ?

These guys are so good

Meregali with only 500 words is a better trashtalker 😂👏

"I would rather have my 2 years English than your 25 years Jiu-Jitsu". 🤣🤣 Well put. I don't know why a lot of US athletes can't understand that being disrespectful to someone making the effort to speak *your* language is not a good look and is just a weak argument (it's not even an argument in fact. It shows that you have nothing better to say).

Gonna be great tomorrow night 👊

Lmaoo love Vagner for pressing him, idk why but Meragali is just so unlikeable

Who is the #1 ranked on this weight divisin?

First ! Go Meregali !

I'm not sure if I totally agree with Vagner on Nicholas just beating his recent lineup just by trash talk and mental pressure. However, it might have just been a tactical jab at Nicholas' ego by saying so. To get him to reveal his emotions. Furthermore, Vagner handled him with levelheadedness in that press conference, and defeated him mentally. Truly. That was a sight to see. He was spot on about Nicholas not being himself. Spot on about his emotions not being a sign of mental strength. As Vagner was pressing into that, you could see and hear the insecurity. I will say, at the 1:00:30 mark Vagner begin to hold him in his palm, mentally, with the "your are selfish" and "you are trying to emulate someone else" comments (again). Then Nicholas began to interrupt him (really coming unglued) and Vagner never regained that same wording, or momentum back. I think Vagner could have really done him in right then. I think it was a real missed opportunity. Nevertheless. Vagner definitely won that exchange. Sheesh. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Nicolas you're not being emotional, you are being PASSIONATE! Good luck.

Vagner 10-7

Meregali will easily win! Let’s go champ!

That was a master class on how to intellectually own a narcissist. I think Mereghali wins the fight, but Vagner won that like I have never seen anyone win a press conference, just a master class.

Rocha part of a community that involves Cyborg Enough to make him no part of the bjj community

Let’s go Rocha!

Best trash talk since Conor McGregor

What a hypocrite. So many people are taking Vagner's side on this because he kept a more calm tone. He is talking about keeping control of emotions when he sparta kicked an opponent off the stage at an event. He's done the same thing at other press events where tries to speak with more class than the opponent and acts like a child on the mats.

I want all those people to have the same energy to comment after Vagner got completely dominated. Meregali is one of them ones. Shout ou to Vagner tho

Portuguese no?

Ive never considered Meregali unlikable...whats with the hate? We get to witness this guy in his prime! And he's right about his champion mentality...look at Max Verstappen for example. The guy is savage but he's after one thing: being number one.

As for wagner, this mental game it seems works with Nicolas but he tried to do the same with Gordon and it didn't works

"I'd rather have my two years of english than your 25 years of Jiu-Jitsu" 💀

Crazy that Vagner used to fight MMA at 145 and 155! Good to see him at his natural weight.

W Vagner lets go

Meregali is turning into a heel supervillain arc. Hes always stoking the fires against good guys.

Let’s gooooooooooo PORRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA

Meregali is about to destroy him

Vagner just gave him a lesson right there

Rocha fritou a mente do Meregali kkkkk

Nick is baby Gordon now predicting his finishes 🤣👶🏻👶🏻

One man has accolades the other doesn't.

Reminds me of another Gordon Ryan... I love it

Vagner's english won't help him on the mat

This one is going to be lopsided

Can anyone tell them, and particularly Meregali, that they will do a grappling MATCH and not a FIGHT 🤦‍♂️

He sounds like Rogan

Ive heard other pro jiu jitsu guys say merrigali is copying gordon but this was well put by vagner. I hope merrigali wakes up one day and realises it would suck to be gordon Ryan. Gordon has no friends and cucked his misses to his brother, gordon can barely move in the day and is constantly sad about his stomach. If merrigali thinks he will be the next gordon ryan financialy, he wont be. John daninher really gets his students to use I a lot but also keeps his students to only train under him and john seems to really promote jiu jitsu to get big but only under his name. The new wave team, they all have this arrogance and a weird false alpha personality. Vagner is right, jiu jitsu is fun and all but its a small sport. I hope merrigali isnt delusional enough to think hes ever gonna earn the amount that tyson earnt. So why be so emotional over jiu jitsu.

Wily vet trying to get in the young stud's head. Young stud let him in a bit but it probably won't be enough. Can't blame him for trying.

Nicholas obviously got mad. Some people it helps. Some it hurts. We will see tomorrow

Vagner dominated

Vagner going on his antihero arc exposing meregalis narcissism

Ohh my goodness grash my guys, Wagner we know you don’t think anything is dirty. Homie treating other guys fingers like the twisty jawn on a loaf of bread.

New wave guys ego is to high Chill bro 😂

Aren’t his coach’s two greatest champions, Georges Saint Pierre and Gordon Ryan, not super emotional. 🧐 💭

Weirdly immature of Meregali. He's never been mentally in control but I wonder if being around Gordon has made him regress.

Rocha tried to corner Meregali but it didnt work 😂😂 calling him selfish, but Meregali's answers were articulate and clear.

Meregalli got cooked 😂

Vagner Rocha 10x9

Respect for Rocha, but he is way too old for Meregali, IMO. Fun match, but lets be real here-- who in their right mind would put money on Rocha?

If you look close Gordon’s sack imprint is on Meragalis chin….

10-7 Rocha

Vagner unce'd him! Haha Mr personality is so hard to like

Nic is a stone cold killer, he comes out as selfish and narc but all greats are the same. If you dont have the "i´m number 1" mentality , guess what...

Meregali going to destroy Rocha

Vagner is my age. This will be ugly.

Vagner is going to get smoked😂 trying to get in meregalis head isnt going to get the job done

I'll admit Vagner's English IS better that Meregali but that's about it. Won't help him in the match though.

Lfg meregali ! Show them tomorrow osssu

I again being such a great Jiu Jitsu player and still have that think a skin This dude def cry in the shower

The Host of this interview is terrible, boring, and fake... Nicholas is embarrassing himself by pretending to be Gordon and Vagner is talking big for a man who kicks opponents during grappling matches

Vagners cooked lol no one wants Jiu Jitsu like him, no one looking for his instructionals, Vagner is absolutely no one’s favourite grappler. Going to lose easily tomorrow, lot of cope on the mic today

These two need to watch more wwe promos. Would slick up their talking game. Which both suck

Nicolas is better

This is a mismatch match

Wagner will lose badly....Nicholas is just too good

Meregali really put Vagner in his place 👏

Having these types of press comferences for bjj is cringe, because watching bjj is boring
