UFC Fight Pass Invitational 3 | Event Highlights 

agreed. that slap shit is alright for a instagram reel but this is so much better.

as a "fan" i prefer combat jujitsu. Still has the slaps and great submissions but also speeds things up and makes for more exciting grappling.

We do? The point of grappling is to remove the effectiveness of an opponent's strikes, not to remove strikes.

Combat hockey. Just an octagon of ice and dudes in hockey gear

No, the average fan likes that stupid shit. Most UFC fans just want to see people beat each other up. They don't care about technique or skill, they just want flash and violence.

I will slap you

This shit is boring, can’t lie. Power slap is way more entertaining

The UFC is into ENTERTAINMENT, first & last. The average audiences don't have the knowledge to understand, much less appreciate, this kind of extremely technical skill-based sporting event or even general MMA, where the permutation to get a win is much more showy, wild, and unruly. Anyway, whenever/wherever the dollar sign dictates, entertainment triumphs over actual skilled-based sports. INCIDENTALLY, that is why promotions like Khabib's "Eagle FC" didn't go anywhere: Khabib has ZERO understanding of, or tolerance for, entertainment. He wanted to do a pure skill-based fighting organization. Very little audience & money would flow into that!

@@kiabtoomlauj6249 But that doesn't mean that there aren't purists in the world who only care about performance. Not about the show. That's why I recommend everyone to watch IMMAF. No show just performances

Slap to the face of the fans

ADCC is coming to fight pass

well i do agree with the growth.....but as in there taking rather than the sport

Would rather power slap

@@oldmate99 casual

Fr man!

He should of had his arm broken.

Not many people would have felt bad if he did @TheDanielmeeks hopefully he is humbled without an injury

Wish Manson just ripped it off lol

😅😅😅 yea he should go easy in a competition.

I don’t remember writing that he should go easy. I don’t see Gordon ripping guys knees apart and he finishes with heelhocks all the time.

The bald teacher

imagine the danaher "do it"

is eddie bravo jarjar

I remember hearing GSP say before he calls Danaher the "Emperor"

haha.. funniest comment on a grappling video

Amen

This isn't jiu-jitsu. Those guys would be bloody if this was jiu-jitsu.

@@CalebDiT unmmm what? What is ji jitsu then?

@@lifeisgreat1718 jiu-jitsu is a martial art for dealing with competent strikers. If nobody is even trying to hit you, what's the purpose of your competency? So you can win a trophy?

​@Calebfulness not true as most jiu jitsu from the bottom doesn't work if there's strikes. This is what Craig Jones has said multiple times

One FC has muay thai with mma gloves

​@Adan M how many Sambo guys have been champion in the UFC? Now how many BJJ guys have been champion? Hmmmm

​@@SuspiciousLobster5677 Khabib and all those guys coming out of Dagestan running the UFC currently are Sambo. BJJ hasn't dominated in decades. Even wrestling passed that up. You're a few decades behind on the state of the sport. (Although a few decades ago, you should have seen Fedor dominating too)

​@@SuspiciousLobster5677 plus Dan Severn, Oleg Taktarov, Andrei Arlovski...all Sambo champs and notable MMA fighters. UFC fighters aren't winning championship in BJJ that often, even if they train it it some. And the BJJ Champs aren't fighting in the UFC much (Like Ryan here)

​@@SuperMontsta khabib and Islam are onky 2 Dagestan Champs... khabib had 2 or 3 title defenses, so few I can't remember. And Islam is only current Sambo champ. Aljo and glover are 2 recent bjj Champs. That's more than the Sambo. Also Brandon Moreno uses bjj, he's a champ. And historically WAAAAAAAAAAAY more bjj Champs than Sambo. So I literally don't know what you're talking about

It's a highlight 😂

Aaaaaaad... . . .its gone....

imagine tapping a professional Jiu Jitsu competitor using your pecks

Fuck Gordon Ryan, the B-Team with Craig Jones and Nicky Rod is where it's at. Even Gordon's own brother went to their team since he's such a douche.

Me too. It would be amazing for my insomnia sometimes.

Who can even challenge this guy is the question

Gordon got choked

@@thehoodedvagabum7375 not sure if you’re aware, but there’s a sport called KICKBOXING since it appears that submission grappling is too complex for your simple mind.

@@oldmate99 time ran out lol

No one was hating on Gordon, they're just not very professional commentators and were looking for something to say. As far as the victory, it's strange in the scope of overall grappling. EBI rules are goofy.

@@egdm1235 if it was edcc rules, Gordon would've submitted him. Nicky was taking advantage of the rule set by not engaging and waiting for overtime. Nicky was also greasing. So, again, I ask... How was it strange?

Wow. They have a bit of banter about his hair dye and express excitement that the most dominant force in submission grappling was about to lose on a big stage for the first time in a very long time and you call that “hating”. Ok, snowflake.

And the best way to shut the haters is to win every time. King Gordon!

If submissions are on the clock doesn't stop the submission in many rule sets. Also the announcers adore gordon, you heard one critique of his bleach beard (cause that announcer is a mans man) and think theyre conspiring against him? That's reaching. They got excited because as someone said that would be te biggest upset in YEARS. Gordon got no hate in this video at all.

A true embarrassment to the sport he is

Hes a kid….

i wish the guy wouldve ripped his arm off

100% agree 👍

He's a rat

Chest smothering. Works like a charm when you're a big dude.

might have been an ezekiel

From what we see here it looked to me like it was part pressure and maybe some sort of neck crank/ squeeze given the wrapped position of the arms as he's letting go.

@@jamiewarren2307 yeah, that seems more likely.

Nope, that's a smother that's commonly used in the New Wave team from mount

Only other grapplers find it interesting

Hahahaah Br é foda

Dana: I present to you - Power Slap, enjoy 😂

yeah i thought the same. i wouldnt even wanna grapple against him. 80% chance these things just get torn off and he starts bleeding

taped up earlobes, not rings.

They START them in those positions in overtime

@@biscobisco1882 they don’t start them in 50/50…

@@lobsterairsoft499 You mean the regular time portion? Thought you were referring to overtime.

He's too old. Even if Werdum was in his prime, he'd still probably lose.

No shot. When werdum learned bjj, the sport was still very young and developing. Ryan is a pioneer of the sport (product of danaher) and has made tremendous impact on the way bjj is. Hes knows 4x the understanding than werdum could ever. Ryan will go down in bjj history as impactful as a Gracie once hes done.

Werdum is good for a heavyweight, but Gordon is on another level. He almost lost this one which is a rare sight to behold.

Werdum couldn't hold his own against the top 10 let alone Gordan

No le ganaría nunca . Este kin Gordon es muy versátil y siempre finaliza todo pero aquí no s pq paso ???!

wanted to see him go for the break like that fat little turd does against all his opponents

Then you should thank Japanese aswell

@@radeczech15 what a worthless reply lmao

It’s not pure Japanese jujitsu anymore! Lol! Thank Brazil and America!

Shagoli vs palhares 🙏🙏🙏

No it’s not controversial. As for BJJ, there are a variety of rule sets that exist and this is one of them. Gordon is p4p #1 by a mile and he is typically used to getting the finish of most guys. That’s why he doesn’t look excited

​@@ahmadtahmass8941 How did he win? I'm unfamiliar with these rules and that didn't look like a victory for him whatsoever lol

@@JimC607 I think they were essentially tied the entire time so after 3 overtime’s the tie breaker was fastest escape and since Gordon had the fastest one earlier he wins the match.

@@feral4112 Ah, I see. Thank you for explaining

@@JimC607 they both have an opportunity to submit each other in overtime. It went to 3 overtime’s and neither was able to submit the other. So after 3 overtime’s it just goes to the fastest escape throughout the overtime periods.

time was up so he was telling him to release it because the match was over already

@@TheEnderBand Yes I know but I was talking some seconds before that, it looks like a tap on the thigh

Respectfully I disagree. This rule set is the issue. He subbed him very quickly at adcc which was only a few months before. When someone gets to grease up and start on your back it changes the core concepts of the sport.

@@statictech7 lol he broke his ankle

@@statictech7 I disagree with your premises, but the conclusion is valid. EBI rules is notorious for upset wins because people can stall amd just win in OT by quickest escape. Kind of like how ADCC's rules make it harder to secure points and lead to upsets too. If I were Nicky Rod, I'd completely abandon any hope of winning on points, make all the tactics about getting to the back and squeeze for dear life.

@@SS3213gsdf your statement is categorically untrue.

@@gonzalorocha yes exactly, even at local sub only tournaments, less skilled guys stall until OT then crank necks 😂
