Blows my mind the precision Helena Crevar executes with, she is relaxed and moves with purpose. At 16 yet?! Keep an eye on this one! INCREDIBLE!

[@belden007]

Great to see Rose, and Helena is so good. crazy how the levels keep getting higher, and at younger ages.

[@Arthur-nr5ci]

I'm blown away by Helena's jiu jitsu, long, fluid, technical, efficient...just , wow.

[@johnnycaralta]

She's definitely good, but every win is far less impressive when it starts with a guard pull.

[@Jeremylovy]

​@@johnnycaraltahow so?

[@johnnycaralta]

@@Jeremylovy Is that a legitimate question?

[@brosechannel]

Yes indeed. Reminds me of Gordon Ryan’s game, she is definitely a Danaher protege

[@johnnycaralta]

My Champion, love from Antigua Guatemala, OsoYolo.

[@Cornbreadddd]

Love that Aitkin vs Lutes match, perfect example of someone with a massive strength advantage getting positionally dominated by someone who is obviously more focused on efficient movement and technique

[@voyageFN]

the match was fun but I think Lutes was just the most aggresive and held onto his position-not in a bad way, he threatened submissions and advanced his position but when he got and an advantage Atkins just couldn't get out from underneath that pressure

[@chuckdeuces911]

It's submission grappling, not wresting, not boxing, not kickboxing, weight plays a lot less of a difference in this event. Not none but substantially less. The flexibility matters so much more than strength and the more strength you have the less flexibility.

[@voyageFN]

I also disagree with the notion that he was stronger than his opponent, I think the stronger person won

[@rockthemadirshman1]

Nice to see Rose again

[@nubiaalmeida2163]

Namajunas é demais Sou fã dela,das lutas dela,do auto controle emocional dela,da humildade dela.Grande lutadora ,profissional incrivel e ser humana extraordinária.Parabéns Rose Namajunas❤

[@stringfellowhawke1610]

Good to see Rose again. I know it's shallow, but you can see the wear and tear of being a pro fighter on her face. She was the prettiest fighter I'd ever seen, especially before she was known. Good gosh, just stunning. Her poor nose and cheek bones have taken a beating. She is still beautiful but it's painful to see the damage.

[@alexs8312]

I was thinking the same exact thing. It's not shallow to make an observation.

Have a close look ta long time bjj players they all looked wrecked and worn out, all those injuries wear you down bit by bit.

It is great to see Rose in action after too dang long. I just love they she works. Her focus is so strong. I don’t know what was the deal with the last UFC fight, it was simply weird. This is Rose doing what she does best - Martial Arts. If she competes, I’m there.

[@Theo-dj7vs]

[@Brykk]

Are you allowed to use pressure points to break holds?

[@Mark_106]

Could see Helena on the UFC Contender Series in about 3/4 yrs time....builds a decent Stand-up game, she defiantly has the ground foundation locked in, could be the new Ronda Rousey! whatever she decides in the future i wish her all the best and success.

[@wishboneman]

Love Thug Rose. Something so attractive about a woman with so much force and power.

[@CountfilmsTV]

Great to see Thug Rose on the mats competing!!!

[@Guppusmaximus]

Sure, the support of her family and teammates is crucial but let's not get it twisted. Her professors are like two of the most ridiculous Jiu-Jitsu masters in the world. Danaher is a pretty much a genius / guru and Gordon is a record-breaking beast that absolutely crushed the ADCC. That type of wizardry would form any passionate, willing & malleable practitioner into an unstoppable foe. The proof is in the pudding. I'm jelly....

[@philstone3859]

Great tournament. Only last two guys absolutely did not look like they are on steroids at all. Everyone can reach such level of performance and endurance with that amount of muscle mass. Just do bjj everyday and you will easily get 100+ kg of lean muscles and speed.

[@alexs8312]

They're juicing. Everyone in BJJ who's at the top levels is, or you're at a disadvantage. If you've been around it enough you can see it in people's faces, that Ryan dude is 100% juicing.

Lots steroids, HGH, testosterone abuse in MMA. You can clearly see by the masculine features in those women.

[@AntiPattern328]

Thats one thing I really don't like about BJJ is when people sit on their butt and just try to pull guard. I men it works in BJJ but that isn't going to help at all in an actual fight or self-defense situation... That is one place where wrestling definitely outshines BJJ. Watching Rose is great. She's offensive, takedowns, not dropping to her butt, trying to pull guard... I think you should lose points for dropping and trying to pull guard. Its useless!!
