Rafael Mendes vs Gianni Grippo | IBJJF Europeans 2014 | Art of Jiu Jitsu Academy 

"You know what to do Gianni,"

Rafa Mendes knows the ins and outs of the De La Riva guard game. It would be very hard to beat him at that.

2:52 "he's never gonna pass" AHAM, falou isso só pro Rafael PASSADOR Mendes hahahhaha

Gianni literally just received his black belt. He just went the distance with one of the best. Imagine what this kid is gonna be like in a month, 6 months, a year etc etc? Especially with MG as the professor.

O footwork do Rafael é imoral.

Sou fã dos irmãos Mendes são top Oss

I watch this once every few months. At 3:54 Rafa yanks the spider grip out so hard Gianni is just stunned for a few seconds and doesn't know what to do with his left hand. Maybe his hand hurt really bad?

Great fight !

I think this is Gianni's first big match after receiving his Black Belt from Marcelo Garcia...Just the beginning

Rafael Mendes é muito top Depois de fazer os pontos poderia apenas ter amarrado a luta, mas ao invés disso ele foi pra cima, ficou em pé e etc...

Nice!

Luta muito dura, mas o Mendes é osso.😎

Started getting good at the end there

The coach is making me nervous

It seems that Rafa is a huge block of concrete. Independently of what Gianni was trying to do, Rafa didn´t move. Rafa was not even close to lose his basis.

karai, to ouvindo a voz do mestre Wilson no finalzin da luta

I’m surprised that Marcelo’s is trying to change Gianni’s grips, He’s a grown ass black belt. How are you going to instruct him to change to the pants grip for better control in the middle of a world class fight, I’m sure he’s gripping where he gets the most control! The level of GUI mendes coaching highly exceeds Marcelo’s

igual eu na jiu jikam

I can’t help but root for Gianni, as much of a Mendes bros fan I am. I hope he does really well.

8:28 White recovers to top HQ

well... had to mute this one... =)

Rafa brinca

Gianni gripe ...

Why the end rafael's belt is white?

"Do this, Gianni! Do that, Gianni! Don't do this, Gianni! Don't let him do that, Gianni!" I know next to nothing about this sport, so I can't help but wonder: do these interjections actually help, or are they just a nuisance to the fighter?

It’s hard to watch black belts / high level grapplers butt flop like that

1:46 What kind of coach wants you to watch your opponent take you down.

White belt coach 😝

Ah-ha

Black Belt amarrando faixa pro lado errado no final da luta?

Do they do steroid tests for these? Cuz I saw this one dude on fb who was on roids competing in these

Those trainers should removed and let fighters do their work on their own

Gianni has the worst coach ever...
