Fan Favorite's Mica Galvão and Dante Leon Throw Down At WNO

[@EduardoRodriguesTrader]

O melhor foi o Dante comemorar antes do tempo foi muito bom ver ele quebrando a cara😅😅😅. Humildade sempre vence e o mica tem de sobra.

Que jiu jitsu lindo de ver esse do Mica pqp

[@Ntwadumela-HeWhoGreetsWithFire]

3:23 to 3:55 are amazing transitions by Mica. He's always hunting submissions, fun to watch.

[@JNSAQ]

Mica atacou muito mais!

[@lucashernanaguero9369]

Without a doubt, Mica has a difficult guard to pass. We just saw it and Dante was in trouble with Mica's guard game. It's fantastic.

[@vitormaiasilva3635]

Muito bom mesmo! A guarda do minha evolui pra finalização nas costas como mágica.

[@brysonz]

To all that thought Dante won, he didn’t do any attacks. He sat in Mica’s half guard and pretty much just defended attacks the whole match. He had nothing but wrestling takedowns and did nothing to pass Micas guard. Mica basically could stand up at will.

[@Black-Circle]

Just play half guard and do nothing just like pena vs nicky rod. Utter nonsense that takedowns mean nothing

[@benjobopper5447]

@@Black-Circle mica did nothing?? He had the only submission attempt, a very close one at that, along with a sweep. When it came down to it Dante couldn’t even keep him down consistently. He was very passive as soon as the match was on the ground

[@Black-Circle]

​@@benjobopper5447 playing half guard and then saying you won because the other guy didnt pass is a stupid criteria. just like the pena match.

[@Black-Circle]

@@benjobopper5447 WNO needs a better judging system especially after the pena match. thats all im gonna say.

[@ThugLifeModafocah]

Impressed with Dante staying on top??? Hey, Mica was playing guard in this match... you know... Jiu jitsu... is not only the top position... as a matter of fact, the guard is a really important thing in Jiu Jitsu.

[@user-uk9er5vw4c]

I guess he meant Mica made so many attempts and Dante succeeded to manage them

[@Fisj]

Tldr: headquarters position all match and no passes from there.

[@user-uk9er5vw4c]

how do you call the guard at 2:03?

[@nukenfry]

Like what type of guard? It's not a legit guard really, Dante is putting him in a headquarters position which is meant to neutralize an opponent's guard. Headquarters opens up a load of passing options and controls the opponent, stapling their back to the mat. Mica is doing his best to work a loose de la riva game from it, ideally create space to open up some de la riva attacks or switch to another guard.

[@Jingles194]

I'd like to know too, it looks kind of like just a smashed DLR.

[@user-uk9er5vw4c]

@@nukenfry you are a purple belt, right?

[@swoopingeagle3942]

A lot of high level guard passers can force the head quarters position quite easily, especially in nogi, so guard players are getting really good at defending it. They make sure to keep the top knee in front of the opponent's hips to keep the distance and denying the smash pass, while controlling the other leg at the knee pit in a way that allows them to put in the reverse de la riva hook if the opponent decides to go for the knee slide. If they are able to entangle the leg even more they can also start to set up attacks, like the false reap and the matrix. Hope it helps.

[@tlungu962]

can’t believe people are saying Dante got robbed. Great wrestling but couldn’t pass guard, got swept a couple times & almost got caught in a couple submissions (even if he defended them) … Not impressed

[@Cornbreadddd]

One thing I've never understood is when elite grapplers keep attempting the same exact failed sequences or passes over and over in a match. There's a distinct lack of versatility that so many grapplers have which is what separates the high level grapplers from the elite

[@ajmjl9102]

Both these guys are elite 😂

[@hardcoreromeo2111]

Lmao just tell us you know nothing about grappling

[@sermitkuicide1478]

@@hardcoreromeo2111I think what he was referring towards was that throughout the match, Dante pretty much only relied on trying to force the inside pass & knee cut Mica, which couldn’t seem to get any real sort of threat to Mica’s game and that he could have maybe tried to mix It up and try to initiate some different kinds of passes that rely more on outside passing (although it sounds good on paper I understand that passing Micas guard from the outside also isn’t necessarily easy 😂)

[@Cornbreadddd]

@@hardcoreromeo2111 you're right...trying the same thing over and over despite a negative result is the pinnacle of grappling success. You're a genius

Mica currently pulling a McGregor and hiding from USADA 😂😂

[@Nick_Tank]

What?!?! Where does this come from??😂

[@cajunstratjr]

@@Nick_Tank Craig Jones said recently in a video (about the 5 nogi athletes who are being sanctioned by USADA) that a very "famous, young gi athlete tested positive at gi worlds and has elected to go through arbitration to try to settle the positive result". Felipe Pena did the same thing, and it took 2 years before we heard of his positive result. Craig said that we can "speculate" based on who continues to compete in IBJJF events and who does not -- currently, we have not seen Mica compete in IBJJF since the World Championships, so many are speculating Craig is talking about him.
