FULL ROUND: Nicholas Meregali Is Pure Dominance In Training

[@TheFunctionalFitDad]

Can we just give props to his training partner. My man stayed in the fight while getting dragged deeper and deeper.

[@stevesuarez4319]

Meregali is a beast no doubt, but the underlying credit is due to that other guy sparring with him. Tapped but kept going for 10 min. Iron sharpens iron. Oss! 👏👏👏🤙🤙

[@_danielmcg]

I remember training with a black belt gi champion (way below meragali's level), and before the round he apologizes because he cannot take it easy or slow down so close to competition, he has to be ready. That was the round that inspired me to start wearing a mouthguard.

The way he still said thank you after that one sided roll was a sign of an awesome teammate. Meregali is looking more and more comfortable no gi, his killer instinct can't be taught either.

[@diceydie-c]

U should see the way he handles teenage girls😂

[@BeesAcrossTheRockies]

Everybody watching knowing two things: 1 there is no way both Gordon and Meregali can coexist forever in the same building with their egos and 2 it would actually not be Gordon crushing another can and we’d get some real threat out of it. I mean the cost would be probably be another team ripping apart lol but it would be a great match and then really funny. Same goes for if they compete in the same bracket in ADCC

Good lord. His double arm reap to s-mount is unstoppable. 7:40 is that a baratoplata? I'm old and rusty so i'm not sure.... what a beast tho.

That's the Tarikoplata. It's a great option for when you go for the kimura but your partner is locking their hands together.

i don't ... talk about fire training..just because you are being dominated doesnt mean you aint learning

[@phantasmosisphantasmosis8041]

I feel like this is some kind of specific training? He's working that submission every time and his training parter gives up his half guard at one point and doesn't really seem to be moving much all that much when it hits the ground. I'm sure Meregali is good enough to control anyone but it doesn't exactly look like a hard roll right here. but maybe I'm just dumb, idk

[@markf12121]

​@phantasmosisphantasmosis8041 Dude he's rolling with Abraham is a savage and there's also the element of the camera there which may force Nicholas to up the intensity

Does anyone know what that submission is once he is in mount and has both hands locked up above his head in a smother. It seems like he's transitioning to triangle but gets the tap before that. Is it the pressure of the leg crushing the ribs??

Been doing BJJ nogi for only 4 months now and Im all the time watching these sparring videos. I don't get what kind of submision is this, the one he uses to submit the other guy most of the times. He is on mount and blocks the two arms. Then he elevates the oponents body and put his foot underneath. I can not appreciate an arm extension so not sure is he is just not able to breath or what. Would appreciate id anyone could sort this doubt I have.
