Dude. I can't even f'ing imagine being able to do that to Travis Stevens like that. RV is such a f'ing GOAT.

[@Midnitedreary88]

I'm curious to know how many of then are on steroids

[@raunycorrea]

Finalmente. Essa era uma luta que queria muito assistir. Valeuuu

[@jodylowe8476]

No disgrace losing to one of the GOATs.

[@lostrde]

Vários clássicos que sempre quis ver! Valeu.

[@samuelbelfort5182]

Rodolfao caçador de black belt 🥋. Ótima luta e parabéns ao canal. #Oss

[@Liberato260]

Boa luta. O Travis Stevens é vice campeão olímpico de judô..

[@ericwanderley5433]

Também achei engraçado o narrador falar "ex-judoca" 😂, existem níveis nesse jogo, ser medalhista de prata nas Olimpíadas é algo que, ao meu ver, deveria ter sido destacado. Além disso, ele não deixou de ser "judoca", ele é judoca.

[@PoliciaPenalRevoltado]

Vim nessa luta para ver o Rodolfo e o judoca trocando queda mas o Rodolfo foi humilde e inteligente. Chamou para guarda logo no início.

[@jonjon-fs3jl]

O cara não é ex judoca, ele é Judoca!

[@nstv23]

Hahahah né.

[@jaymorris3468]

It means he's retired from top class judo, you have to be retired to do ANY other discipline, but he's still a Judoka, correct.

[@StillRolling]

Would have love to had seen this match being on the feet more. Travis is awesome at judo but Rodolfo also is a beast on his feet. Don't blame him for pulling guard though. Made it a much easier match for him

[@nstv23]

No man, Travis would make him fly and probably fall on side control ( 5 points ) as effortless as Rodolfo swept him on the ground. He wanted to win this tournament. It would be cool to watch them doing a randori training

[@joseluki]

BJJ competitions that allow pulling guard, stalling and not progressing on the feet are moronic and unrealistic, more when they allow to pull guard but not slams.

[@danielkh7103]

I would love to see that in mma rule setting where your allowed ground and pound Khabib style....

[@nstv23]

It’s incredible to see the à jujitsuka sweeping and olimpian judoka like he’s an white belt on the ground. Flawless technique

[@ajmjl9102]

@@joselukiofc it’s not realistic it’s a sport turn on you back and going to turtle in judo is unrealistic waiting for a ref to stand you up is unrealistic

[@MadureiraDudu]

A reclamacao de Rodolfo é o material liso da logo no kimono do americano, o que dificulta a pegada. Ja passei por isso em uma competicao, réclamei....mas de nad adianta. Oss

[@henriquefrancisco300]

Valeu a dica. Agora entendo

[@rafael_jj]

Muito boa a Luta, u foda é esse kimono de verão do Travis...

ta em penultimo seu comentario kkk

[@adersonneto9439]

Rodorfão vai te pegar 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@jaymorris3468]

Like watching paint dry compared to Judo, but it is a different discipline so im not comparing.

[@anilarmitt8136]

Rodolfo's top game is widely celebrated, but his guard is so underrated.

[@jaymorris3468]

Good fight, not often Travis gets caught

[@thomass.4007]

why did Travis step in with his leg? It allowed Vieira to sweep him. was it a beginners mistake or was there some strategy behind it that i dont see?

[@eamonob84]

I imagine he was thinking of stepping on Rodolfo’s leg to break off the spider hook. That’s usually done after you angle to the side, though, so their leg is more against the ground. Not sure why he did it in that particular position here. Rodolfo went right back to DLR from that spider hook as soon as he did.

[@KlgoDomingoOrtiz]

Que la cagó Travis al meter el pie dentro de la guardia, iba bien controlando y pasando por fuera

[@LC-hv1qn]

The nut step guard pass. Lmao.... White belt move.

[@zeekapubg]

Why was Rodolfo grabbing at Stevens' patch during the break? Why was Rodolfo tapping Stevens' on the back before the break? Can anyone tell me?

[@matheusmarques7009]

Matthew Micallef Not even the commentator knew why. Maybe it was getting disattached idk.

[@matheusmarques7009]

Oh, actually I just discovered that he was complaining about the patch being too slick and making it harder to make a grip.

[@jonzwikk1582]

If you know you have an advantage over your opponent by pulling guard, then go for it! It's up to the other guy to try to pass

[@ShortsEmGeral]

É uma honra dividir o tatame com esse monstro do jiu-jitsu (eu treino na mesma academia que ele e já aprendi bastante,tenho até fotos shgssh)

Não adiantou usar a malandragem vim com kimono curto, é apertado mesmo assim foi apertado!! Kkkkkk

Quando foi isso ?

Faz um 5 ou 6 anos ja

[@a.hudson3707]

Esse kimono do Travis tá mais curto do que os shorts das novinhas

[@MCHiphopotamus]

Before I started watching, I knew Rodolfo would pull guard on that one :) It's another story once on the ground though !

[@aplus1080]

MCHiphopotamus hahaha dude I have nightmares about standing with judo guys.

[@MCHiphopotamus]

@@aplus1080 same here :)

[@G1stGBless]

Guys add wrestling and your sense of balance will negate most judo guys throws. Then just dont wait all day on them. Aggressively attack the legs. They really arent used to wrestling style attacks. Even though they will often turn their backs in a last ditch attempt to toss you over their leg/hip. So watch that. As long as yoy leg ride and finish the wrestling follow ups theyre dead once they hit the ground. Turn their backs and turtle etc. Travis is a beast however. None of that applies to him lol

[@BadWolfMMANashville]

Nunya Business very good analysis here. Funny I just saw this video and saw your response. I completely agree with your take. Judo works because they are forced to stand straight up. Once you get in a good wrestling stance it negates their ability to enter for the throw.

[@G1stGBless]

Bad Wolf MMA we finally fully agree on something lol

[@candylord5363]

Vieira SUB Stevens

[@Welc01]

Excellent fight and my admiration for both because they are very good. But as always, the only defense that the BJJ have against Judo is to throw themselves on the guard because they cannot stand and cannot give a good throw to the opponent with control.

[@W2LTA]

Why would he play Judo with an Olympic silver medalist? Jiu Jitsu has the guard and he used it to win the jiu jitsu match. All very understandable and straight forward. If you had of asked why did Travis try and stand on him then that may of been a relevant question. Wired move and he deserved to be swept from it IMO.

[@user-md2fm7ik2z]

@@W2LTAit shouldn’t be allowed to pull guard. Many judo throws allow the thrower to completely bypass the guard. If bjj penalised guard pulling it would change the sport hugely and look way more like judo, unfortunately bjj continues to allow this ridiculous tactic of guard pulling and butt sliding which is more unrealistic than any rule in judo

[@W2LTA]

@@user-md2fm7ik2z Many Ippon throws also end up with the thrower on bottom side control...

[@nathanmcmullen1527]

Stephens gave up a lot of size here

[@kallepikku4991]

I just came here to see how many seconds does it takes for Brazilian kid to jump guard.

[@statu-palma-barba-cot3075]

I just clicked to see how many minutes would it take R. Viera to submit a world-class judo fighter

[@DJBiermann]

@@popasmuerf I just came here to see who would make a graphic rape joke so that we'd never suspect his profoundly repressed latent tendencies.

[@matheusmarques7009]

If you’re mad by him pulling guard go watch judo, girl.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

@@DJBiermann why would you come here to see that? lmaooo

[@TheDrunkenGrape]

if this was a judo match Rodolfo would get killed, totally different game, he would be thrown on his head and lights out, no chance.

[@bewalker25]

Don't say!

[@Pepestock]

"IF IF IF there were different rules there would be a different outcome!" 😂 yeah we know, Judo coping hard right now
