Thanks, Polaris! Everyone watching wants to see no-time-limit matches!

[@curryman1995]

hate leg locks or not, it was basically eddie attacking the whole time with medes defending

[@BestWayKilla]

Did you miss the frequent pass attempts (and successful pass) by Tanquinho? Jiu-jitsu is about more than just playing guard.

[@josesoto3594]

@@BestWayKilla i know your comment is hella old but he didn't get any successful pass

[@BestWayKilla]

@@josesoto3594 I haven't got the time to watch the whole thing right now, so I'll concede I might be mistaken about that, maybe it was just close, or I just recalled incorrectly. Either way, I stand by my original statement.

[@stevena8719]

Good news, everyone likes leg locks now

[@grapplingbuddy2418]

Kinda funny to see because of this old match though how Eddie's leglock game is compared, to today's standards, not even that impressive anymore. Basically shooting for Ashi Garami and ripping an outside heelhook out of it.

[@truthspeaker6774]

It's hard to leglock your opponent if he just defends your leg attacks, especially if it is an elite grappler like augusto Mendes but I will give credit to Eddie he did a better job than in adcc, some of the positions were really close to submission you can see how augusto got nervous

[@frasergenova7387]

palhares v tonnon next upload???

[@dave-oh3549]

I am very impressed with Eddie Cummings and his recent victories in EBI. However, I cannot be the only person who gets tired of seeing Eddie but flopping into butterfly guard ALL THE TIME. I mean, has he ever attempted a takedown before? Eddie will beat the crap out of me, but as a BJJ fan, his strategy is starting to bore me.

[@nainoa2323]

The death of jiujitsu is one guy doing one move over and over for 20 mins

[@TeamRussianSambo]

HiloBorn 808 Braddah, watch the Miyao brothers. they're like Mendes bros. Fuckas like to ass fight

[@joe4570]

lol the ignorance.

[@DD-sq3mr]

attack legs, attack legs, attack legs.... WOW ..... kill me.

[@westcoastbrotha]

I couldn’t agree more. There should be jiu jitsu and leg jitsu so we know what we can expect to see.

[@dagus834]

Ironically, Eddies one-dimensional strategy breathed new life into Jiujitsu. It became a perfect showcase of how the Leg Entanglements worked and all of the gripping strategies used to enter into the positions. In this video, you see Eddie get frustrated and tired and his one-dimmensionality turned against him, but in dozens of other matches it led to quick victory.

[@uke_mike]

Why so many leg lock haters? Its a sub just like any other sub.I love any/all subs, call me crazy...

[@serakimchi]

When you are not willing to get up to continue an attack your options are limited.

[@TheGodfather101]

Standing straight up with your knees secured beneath your shoulders is your best option to stymie entanglement threats.

[@jdogi69]

Don't hate on his gameplan. Figure out a way to beat it.

[@jodylowe8476]

I can't wait until leg attacks are passe and becomes just another tool in the toolbox. I guess that will happen when everyone else learns good defence.

[@danrod3790]

Jody Lowe I hate it. I hate training with ppl who keeping doing them. It's so annoying.

[@curryman1995]

cause your bad at defending them? they are just part of bjj leg lockers are a game like guard passing etc

[@stevena8719]

Good news buddy, leg locks are in and peoples defense is improving.

[@ybench5871]

hi bro, 2024, leg attacks is just a tool now.

[@lootsmcgoots436]

If you’re hating on Eddie Cummings game and entries then you need to incorporate these entires into your game because you’re most likely outdated

[@joe4570]

here's a noob observation that might be wrong... but if Eddie attacked straight ankle locks with his heel hooks Mendes would be much more reticent to pull out like that

[@beauchapman4155]

Lol...go find a guy at that level tapping to a straight ankle lock.

[@dagus834]

You were actually right. Eddie was creating heel exposure too quickly and losing control. He might have had better success if he stuck to breaking his opponent down and control for a few seconds before trying to expose and rotate the heel.

[@smitywerbenmanjensen5265]

Does Eddie Cummings not have a top game?

[@Nova-qn9se]

Ask Bourdain's wife lol

[@JoshY01]

Augusto should have sat on his but to mimic Eddie Cummings just to make fun of him

[@anonymousreviewer169]

That would've gotten him subbed. Double seated game plan is leg-lock heavy, and Augusto wanted none of that.

[@wadojutsu1]

Danaher death squad. No one ever died from a heel hook.

[@RandomBJJGuy]

I'm more a fan of Ryan hall. he is a leg locker but he is also known for awesome guard, back takes, and passing

[@RebelForce8]

Render damn you :DD

[@polarisbjj]

lol

[@vinhit2nguyenitbjj]

KZbin totally has your computer in a heel hook...

[@Noodlehorn]

Mendes is a black belt in 'Schaubing'.....

[@RockIsPowerz]

that's crap he passed like a monster and actually was able to pass a couple times

[@Noodlehorn]

Pedro Fernandes Ooh..wow! He passed the guard? Oh my god! You guys are so behind the times.

[@RockIsPowerz]

Noodlehorn it actually would matter if he could get punched in the face that's the essence of jiu jitus position before submission

[@ryby455]

hes also a multiple time black belt world champ who eddie cant seem to beat

[@joe4570]

how many of these high level passes are actually necessary in mma. In mma, passing is punch punch punch leg drag and you're pass.

[@DC-sr7gu]

mendes: kicks eddie in the face, trying to escape the deep heel hook eddie: wtf man? mendes: (after he escapes the heel hook), sorry man i hope your ok, didnt mean to do that

[@elrith1]

Eddie....

[@performancej8017]

Mate. Outside ash again again and again. Plenty of chance to go for a single knee bar

[@StationaryNomad361]

This was annoying to watch. I would have demoted Eddie to brown belt just out of predictability. Is he a black belt in BJJ? Or a black belt in leg locks? Come on man quit being a one trick pony and get with the program. Weak.

[@iNinjaWalker]

He submitted two of his EBI 7 opponents with RNCs, chill. Like Cummings himself said, he only attacks the legs because most of his opponents expose them in order to protect their upper body.

[@joeytribbiani4209]

Why don't you go to new york and tell Eddie what you think....

[@JG-uw3ch]

He only knows how to heel hook. He's not a brilliant leg-locker. He's a heel hooker with only 2 butterfly setups.

[@TheGodfather101]

youre a keyboard hero with no credibility to demote anyone. let alone someone who entangled the adcc champion nonstop.

[@admiralsuperior3]

A leglock guy who only does leglock

[@obeysteve]

Eddie was significantly more tired at the end of their match compared to Mendes. If this was no time limit, Eddie's gas tank would empty faster than Tanquinho's and would be more likely to make a mistake eventually.

[@BlakeAndrewz]

call me an idiot but theres something weasely and sleazy about just going for the legs

[@deepsquat600]

ok .. you are an idiot ..defend your legs

[@BlakeAndrewz]

And your ugly

[@deepsquat600]

+Musashi san you said to call you an idiot..why the hurt feelings..that time of the month??

[@BlakeAndrewz]

+deepsquat600 lol i forgot to read the comments i put up initially and i sent the comment from work

[@crazyjames1233]

for me its more just going for the most injury prone sub in the sport (heel hook). i know leg locks are a legit and obviously effective but i still hate um. cant really hold it against him personally, but I ALWAYS root against the leg locker.

[@EdwinHappy]

I wish that I can mute the commentary.

[@mattbenyon5356]

Yes if only someone would invent a mute button that would allow you to mute things. Oh well, just stick to commenting instead.

[@ScottWilliam88]

Have you tried...the mute button?

[@illusionxmuta]

Is Eddie Cummings still alive? He like fell off the earth.

[@kalikaputra]

Still alive and teaching.

[@adinkruger5918]

Who tf is takinio

[@supernalbjj]

if this was a real fight eddie would have has his head pounded through the pavement, train for real fights not sport, reverse heal hooks a re a good tool to have if you are stuck on the bottom but get up and get on top when you have the chance. this sort of jits is embarecing

[@Noodlehorn]

This is pure jiu-jitsu, not MMA. He's trying to make Mendes submit.

[@supernalbjj]

Noodlehorn no it is bastardized jiu-jitsu, pue jiu-jitsu is about self defense

[@Noodlehorn]

supernalbjj Ok, so if Cummings moved to mount like you wanted, then what (in Polaris)?

[@supernalbjj]

Noodlehorn you clearly don't understand, but this is the reason bjj doesn't dominate the ufc aswell as it should, most people spend 10 years training crap then get in the cage and are blue belts at the moves that count.

[@Blkglssjw]

+supernalbjj everyone in the UFC trains BJJ
