Full 17 Minute Round - Roka Behind the Scenes

[@fredrikandersson3885]

Bro imagine if Gordon would enter CJI and snipe that 1 milion dollar check and Craig has to give it to him. It would be the most insane moment ever xD

[@davidbrewer2105]

That would be perfect way!!!😂😂

[@danschultz448]

Craig has said he will welcome Gordon publicly.

[@MattTheMac]

would be awesome but he wouldn't because ADCC is the same weekend

[@ronaldinho5860]

Your insane

[@MrStrongBro]

Beat Nicky Rod in the CJI super fight, win 99+, and absolute, and the adcc super fight all in the same weekend.

[@Ronin_MMA_88]

Watching how you were controlled and relaxed, allowed yourself to be caught to improve your partner....man, whole new level of respect.

[@joshuaroun14]

11:03 it’s good to see Gordon work through positions and allow himself to be submitted. Better in the training room than in competition.

[@tinoslaponi8514]

What a high-level training partner Gordon is. Allowing his teammate to get a sub first.

[@MadshGrappling]

Yeah, what's also important to notice is that he doesn't get the sub "for free". The finishing mechanics on display here are super clean.

[@justas423]

Submitting to that probably took 3 months off of his life expentacy that he's only gonna get back when he continuously submits him during a roll.

[@ronaldinho5860]

Gordon looks like the best training partner.

[@ShortKhid69]

He’s not aggressive in his matches either. He’s so confident in his body placement he’s quite literally the personification of “you shall not pass”

[@echolude]

Gordon is equally generous as he's brutal on thr mat. 2 steps ahead on everything. So procedural and technical.

[@travis1687]

Gordon seems like a chill respectful training partner

[@janringbeck4119]

He's a top competition partner too. Never janks anything, just holding controlled submissions. Even VS Nicky rod in the final he didn't try to hurt him.

[@doobledoo]

@@janringbeck4119 even Craig has said nothing but great things about him on the mat. Anytime anyone's tried to talk down on him or Craig just happens to be talking about top competitors he always goes out of his way to say how great Gordon really is as a training partner

[@pc3903]

So good to see the change in attitude towards controlled playful rolling/putting yourself in bad positions to learn….this is the practice style Ryron Gracie was preaching 12+ years ago and the community gave him so much crap for it….its smart training. And the reason guys like Gordon are so good everywhere…because they’ve spent so much time everywhere

[@thomasjermy4816]

17:08 that mount transition is poetry

[@Sambagger]

All these people talking shit in the comments are going to ruin it we only get to see the goat compete twice a year if that getting to breakdown his actual rolling and technique is priceless

[@KellenChase]

I saw this comment before even reading the time stamp. When it happened I was like “whoa. That’s what they meant by poetry”.

I think he makes like $1 million doing ADCC with sponsors so I don’t think he could even do it if he wanted to because it’s on the same weekend. Maybe next year he will probably definitely do it.

What an honor & pleasure it must be sparring with Gordon. The guy is an absolte gentleman of a training partner

[@huliqan]

it's just a fairy tale ! how soft and smooth everything is! Without unnecessary sudden movements!Complete delight !

[@JLewis1979]

Gordon is the modern day Rickson Gracie. No one is on his level. In a no time limit format no one beats him. Even under timed and scored rulesets he's near impossible to beat. His conservation of energy, his understanding of positions, his technique, and even his demeanor during matches is incredible. Say what you want about anyone else, Nicky Rod, Craig Jones, etc. they may be your favorite. Craig Jones is my favorite TBH, but no one is on Gordon's level right now. If only the CJI and ADCC were on different dates, I'd love to see him in both and my money would be on him to win both.

[@420champion4]

I agree with everything you said except your concern about being on the same date. It will now force other promotions to pay more or be considered a second rate organization. Adcc could and should find the money to pay 1000001 for a couple divisions. That would be the ultimate f you to CJI.

[@JLewis1979]

@@420champion4 I agree with you and understand why Craig is holding his event on the same dates. I was just stating it would be cool to see Gordon fight in both.

[@Specialistkay]

​@@JLewis1979 he won't because Mo of ADCC owns New Wave. He would never allow Gordon to compete. Gordon is owned by Mo.

Gordon's the Epitome of a SAFE Training Partner... He Could Really Take a Limb when He gets a Good Bite...but Gives the Training Partner / Opponent a Chance to Tap... Haters are Gonna Hate... Winning and Living a Good Life is the Best Revenge...

[@thecrazycatdude8066]

Always been a huge supporter and especially when I found out about your battles with stomach/nausea issues. I’ve been suffering with diverticulitis for 5 years & unless youve experienced it you can’t imagine the horror. You are a true warrior my friend because for you to reach the levels you have under those circumstances is virtually impossible. But, that’s why you ARE the King! Any student of the almighty Renzo is someone I will always support. Can’t wait to see you compete (and dominate) again! Make sure to jam some Pantera during training because THEY are “kings” as well

[@constablekohler]

What no one has commented on was that Gordon tapped while training. You don't see it often but it's good to see. He got caught in a leg exchange (although it looked like he's not defending that very well, maybe he's helping his partner work on leg attacks during the roll?). This is good footage. He's controlled and very technical. He let's the partners work. Good stuff

[@dk2010660]

Yes he was letting the partner work mate

[@aidinf3268]

Lol he let him get it bud relax

He didn't get caught. He literally let the dude work and get into his legs and barely need anything to actually defend it.

[@petertrunal479]

You can tell a lot about someone by looking at how he rolls, and Gordon is one of the most respectful high-level guys I've ever seen rolling (because not all of them treat their training partners that well, trust me...), even apologizing to the other guy when the move is not as clean as he wants it to be (15:45). Say what you want about him, but he might be the nicest high-level grappler there is.

[@kamzok]

That's a bit of a reach. He almost hyperextended his training partners' knee in a flow roll. He'd be a dick if he didn't apologise for that

[@Dhejdjskd]

About three minutes in ... this dude shoots and Gordon calmly stuffs his head and steps out of the shot. Crazy smooth move. Such smooth, almost lazy economy of motion. And when he explodes... He explodes. Helps newbies like me understand to not be so fucking tense all the time!

lots of amazing stuff...

[@ThugLifeModafocah]

Fair for Craig to rub people the wrong way and not want to give him the satisfaction of changing the industry. But Gordon is the best grappler in the world bar non and should join forces to grow the sport

[@jeffhatfield46]

For how many times Gordon tells us he doesn't care... I'm starting to think he cares. I don't think it's possible for him not to say "I don't care" or "I could care less" in a video. The dude cares just that much

[@matyviola]

Agree. I don't know why he whines like that. Just don't even mention it.

[@lobsterairsoft499]

It’s called insecurity. Constantly having to clarify that you don’t care or that stuff doesn’t bother you lol

[@allcapsbeats]

It's an emotional defence mechanism. I think a lot of these top level athletes compensate for emotional insecurities by getting really good at their chosen sport, and then it becomes their identity. Look at Conor McGregor, Sean Strickland, Ryan Garcia for example (I respect Sean though cos he's honest about his struggles with mental health)...a lot of these guys repress their emotional side, and it leads to a fragile ego that resorts to a lot of posturing in order for them to feel safe. I think that's why Khabib is such a force, because he's a spiritual man (keeping him anchored) with a genuine love for the sport. I think that's why he drove Conor absolutely insane, because Conor knew he had something he didn't...integrity.

[@caspermaul7583]

Royce told a great story recently on Rogan about how when he rolled with Gordon, he was very polite, and didn't take openings Royce gave him- out of respect. And in turn, Gordon would leave openings for Royce, who also didn't take advantage of.

[@Specialistkay]

He won't because they house and gym he live in are owned by Mo from ADCC. Mo has stoppes all of New Wave from competing. Hell Gary Tonon even framed it as he is only going to ADCC it to suck off Mo's ego and slight Craig's. New Wave is Mos Harem.
