Nicholas Meregali vs Francisco Lo | 2023 IBJJF Absolute Grand Prix 

Mother's milk 🍼 is the real name of this move. 🐄😃

The accuracy of his game is just incredible, so little mistakes for opponents to capitalize from, adding to the pressure he has makes it a nightmare for everyone

5:10 in one of the training vids of Meregali, Danaher pointed out the gi grip around the lat being available to secure side control

Love how he walks straight to Danaher to show respect

When does a foot sweep become a strike? 1:54

Holy crap. Our 150 lbs professor can make it feel like he’s 300 lbs in mother’s milk. What in the HELL does that pressure feel like with a 230 lbs Meregali?!?

DAMN He's good! been a fan since purple belt. Its awesome to see him grow.

Love this hold and the mouth smother.

So,…you’re telling me that my beer belly is a potential weapon!!??? 😂

Amazing display of jiujitsu. Bravo

1:54 O início de um sonho // 6:46 Deu tudo errado

My 8 years old started doing this and named it "the blackout"

Francisco is a warrior

Such an underrated submission ngl

Incredible dominance.

Jeez that was a thorough steam rolling

That pass was sick.

yea good stuff

pay attench the presh guys

Wow!

Sick

Damn 😮

Claustrophobia/panic/sense of helplessness. It’s so hard to just relax there when you’re already losing by a lot. It feels like it will never end and you’ll be trapped there forever. To be able to stay calm there in that type of situation requires so much emotional control that few high-level athletes have. For guys that are used to losing all the time in practice and have never been able to win enough to be invited to a tournament like this, it’s probably no big deal to just get smothered there. For an elite athlete, who’s used to winning (at least 75 to 80% of the time) and rarely losing (usually by slim margins), it’s a totally different ballgame. It is a tough thing to train as well. You can put yourself in shitty positions when you’re tired during practice, but to be able to stay calm under the pressure of a tournament situation like this (especially when you are the underdog against the favorite) is just different.

He’s #1 right now both gi and nogi for his weight class?

bateu no apavoro 😮

eu adoro ver a confiança dos adversarios indo embora lentamente lutando contra o Nicholas kkkk

That's gotta be one of the more humiliating chokes in BJJ.

Monster

is it not possible to turn the head to the side in that position to avoid being "suffocated", or is that not possible because your arms are too close to your head and prevent you from turning?

Damn

How insanely good you must be to make Lo looks like a Purple Belt?

Just listen that músic...what u will wait

nicholas made him like a kid

essa escolha de música do meregali foi boa kkkkk

Francisco looked like he had mentally checkout of the match after the first reset.

Why are their belts so long?

Boss Hog

It's called Dark Room. Pressure on the face arms trapped, no air drop weight

I hate it when I get smothered like that against low level black belts imagine against the goat....

Is that move legal for blue belts?

🐐

Anyone know what song Francisco Lo came out to?

bill cosby and harvey weinstein used this technique a lot too

Nem enforcou nem encaixou Ezequiel bateu tomando chave nas asas dos braços eu hein bateu e desistiu pq recusou em choque kkk nunca vi essa chave kkk😂😂😂

Interesting Buggy choke defense @ 6:20?

Please 😢 Stop spoil us in the thumbnail

Who's the bird in the audience calling for both of them to pass? They called first for Lo and then they did it again for meregali. Three whistles for a three point move

Ez

Idk why people watch Gi matches but not Olympic judo, its 10x more exciting.

Acho tão estranho ver um brasileiro sendo apresentado como um gringo!

Damn not the smother finish…that sucks

😂

The idea of putting the full name of a human on the screen is so God damn stupid. We know them both Just put their known name. Wtf. 😅

Pero que cojones tío ?

You shouldnt tap to that.. Period.

When you train with The King, other folks are child’s play.

Merega deixou ele sonhar e depois emrrabou ele
