[@neilmezache7845]

Is this supposed to be some kinda message to Craig? “Hey Craig, we miss you. Come back please.”

[@izzate7]

The progression in techniques and tactics over the past 3 years has been insane.

[@WestCParallel49]

LOL "australia's deadliest mammal" @ 2:16

[@foxmulderfbiufo1770]

Lololol 😂😂😂😂

[@wm3764]

Lol the guy is getting soft though

[@Haz2288]

People rarely discuss the DDS early stage leg defense. They take the weight off the leg completely and pull it out like a wet noodle.

That penalty was ridiculous.

I have wrestled my entire life, it's all my son and I do. That said, the uchi to set up the 2-on-1 drag was awesome. We're using it.

Man, Ruotolo twins achieved so many things at the age of 18.

Great match!

That Mother Fucking Russian 2 on 1 into judo throw into throwby into back take at 4:50 was fucking CLEAN!!!!!!!

Craig's wrestling coach was Talgat Ilyasov, who also.made several instructionals with Lachlan Giles. He knows what he's doing.

[@Rexy-sy9wt]

Good match lots going on . Rewatch .

[@l0pster]

Craigs shape was INCREDIBLE in this match...stayed on him like a wet blanket.

[@CalebDiT]

Being heavier and larger makes that a bit easy to do, which is evident towards the end, when Craig was gassed. Even in slow motion with no power, he kept the advantage.

[@rockade2408]

Craig Jones Passive for so long, what a pussies

[@Dotain5minutes]

what a fight!!! alot of heart by ruotolo!

Craig giving Tye some knowledge. Going through multiple positions to give Tye some comp atmosphere to perform

[@donovanraskopf1841]

Forreal when he said Craig Jones representing Danaher death squad I was like “WTF”

[@kingcarter86]

Just stopped by this match. I love the concept of 10-15 min rounds though. Even 20 would be cool to see.

[@Ronansteez]

Crazy

[@prideneverdies1001]

lol the thumbnail

[@YungShiba-sl2ys]

Why are they using that hungry as looking photo of tye for thumbnail? 😂😂

[@kaikkimoi]

Only time that Craigy Jonesy is not the number 2, is against little boys...

[@kommisar.]

Being #2 is quite good, and more than you'll ever manage.

[@Lockdown335]

Your boy MerryGarlee will never get that L back hahaha

[@johnbettertonx1]

That was nice of him.

[@thadeusss]

At 15:35 I thought Tye was going for the modified calf slicer sub I made. I almost thought it was already a thing bc of that lol

this match is essentially technique vs cardio

😂😂😂😂😂 o patrocinador do cara

[@barcelona19812122]

Craig just smothered him and had maybe 2 attacks, while tye actually was trying to get some leg locks in

[@iloveViennaBJJ]

if you see everything what people in the background do.... you recognize - - this camera work is a catastrophe and too far away from action...

Gás em dia? Ou é 💣

get control because you are just bigger but dont do anything shouldnt be a win... doesn't loock like a win because it shouldnt be

[@MrIt83]

...oh 2021.. ok...

[@user-wk4ee4bf8g]

It's weird to me that Craig is in his early 30s. I have lived a weird life, done stuff a lot of people don't do, but I get the feeling Craig has lived harder than I have, despite me being 10 years older.

This one was Tyes win. In my opinion

[@erdngtn9942]

Ya think this is the adcc check for Craig? Wins and goes, loses and doesn’t?

[@user-wk4ee4bf8g]

Man, if I wasn't old and worried about the health of my joints I would get into grappling because it's starting to make sense after watching hundreds of videos over some years. I still only have the most basic concepts to explore, like redirecting forces, but it would be fun. I am just not willing to damage my joints to explore that interest. Kinda sucks, but I still choose not hurting them.

[@ajmjl9102]

If your safely training your joints will be fine tap early and often

[@errgo2713]

Look into gyms with seniors-only classes. There are some out there (and they need members to keep those sessions going). You can still learn techniques without going HAM and still gain the health benefits of regular training.

[@user-wk4ee4bf8g]

Thanks guys, I'll look into that. I'm only 42, not a senior, but I feel my mortality and increasing fragility so I am cautious, it's weird. Other older people would understand and not go hard, that sounds nice. And I have no pride issue with tapping, our joints are inherently fragile and hard to fix. I like walking without discomfort so I don't want my interest in grappling dynamics to ruin that. I appreciate the encouragement and ideas, the pot is fully on the back burner now, thanks :)

[@ajmjl9102]

@@user-wk4ee4bf8g i know people In mid 60s who are white belts it’s definitely not too late the majority or older guys who have injuries are because of they were idiots or competitors when they were younger. Train often but don’t overtrain and rest properly. Remember you don’t have to train with everyone and can refuse shitty training partners. Leave your ego at the door if you want to stay healthy.

[@user-wk4ee4bf8g]

@@ajmjl9102 That is all very good advice, I appreciate it. I'm traveling right now so I couldn't go deep with any particular gym. But I could certainly take my first class or two. Thanks again for the good vibes :)

[@MozartificeR]

Craig takes top position:)

[@vibraniumsabervibraniumsaber]

All because your on top doesn’t mean anything giving him Graig the win because he is on top is crazy

[@rooxie5658]

Gravity always wins. Top typically has more control and uses less energy

[@rogueirl]

oh you need to advance your position, wheres the stalling from guard...

[@JPost55465]

Not one comment touching on the noticeable size advantage.. I genuinely think Tye deserved the W here.. absolute relentless pace

[@Spiritof_76]

Did you have the audio muted? They referred to the weight difference early in the coverage.

[@tedclark7860]

It was far less of a weight difference than one would guess looking at the two of them.

[@JesusTrombone]

Shutdown Tye pretty well. Kelt him flat the whole time

[@MMAengineer]

why did craig won?? no one submitted each other so no one won

sadly he's back again

The no points for takedowns thing is lamer than a dude who refused to tap on a heelhook.

Craig jones is the best most creative grappler that’s ever existed.

Are you serious with that thumb nail 😂

[@drjimjam1112]

Would like to have seen it go to a 10P style tie breaker.

[@vizxd2422]

Tye thinks he can take Gordon when he cant even beat craig.

[@erdngtn9942]

Oh wow look how small Tye is. He’s very likely switching with his brother in weight classes for adcc. (They mentioned doing it recent interviews) Of course it’s from 21’. Damnit I’m slow

craig lost. He looked totally gassed. No way he would have been able to survive another 20 minutes at Tye's pace. He was just trying to hang on by the end.

[@scal7122]

He was on top the whole time lucky there was no ground and pound and i feel like he was the closest to having a submission

[@jrowlandj]

Sure, pay no attention to dominant position or rationing energy for time limits.

[@Mr47CRO]

Dude barely won a decision against a kid and talks shit to Gordon Ryan. Bro humble yourself and learn some skill by watching Gordon
