Gordon Ryan vs Felipe Pena III Breakdown - Felipe's Guard Strategy

[@ThruTheWire2]

Felipe Peñas guard retention is god-like, you’re right about that.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

It’s crazy how many times I’ve seen him get nearly passed against guys like Buchecha and Meregali and make his way out somehow. Crazy. He doesn’t get enough credit for that.

[@thos1618]

I think the problem with Felipe's game in a No Time-Limit format is those Wrestle-Ups cost a lot of energy. Remember in the Pena / Gordon 3 match, Felipe was able to entangle Gordon over and over and over, but he'd get to the Wrestle-Up point in his system, then didn't have the energy to complete the takedown.

LA ENERGIA VIENE DEL JUGO MAGICO ,SIN ESTEROIDES GORDON PIERDE ,POR ESO TIENE MAS ENERGIA

[@andrefludd]

The BJJ channel Less Impressed More Involved also did a video on the match and had a very convincing argument about Gordon not going 100%. I'm not saying you are wrong, and I'm not saying Gordon wasn't trying to pass, but it is possible he wasn't pressing as hard as he could have since it's no time limit. Either way, there's no doubt that Pena is the only person to give Gordon a challenge in a long time. I guess none of us really know what truly happened that day, but great video! The more BJJ analysis the better. Thanks!

[@Damin-Danger-Ledford]

Thank you! I really wanted to put this out there. It was a great analysis. I stand on this side of the arguement. But, what do I know? Lol.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Yup I saw it! Great video. I actually don’t believe Gordon was going 100% but I think there was definitely a fair effort to pass Felipe early on. Where he was able to pass Matheus Diniz, Jacob couch, Pedro Marinho etc…, with let’s say 70% effort, he was unable to pass Peña with that same effort. We did see how as the match went on Gordon shut down Felipe’s entries more often and picked up the pace though. But yup just my opinion. Glad you enjoyed the vid though! Stay tuned!

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Yup I saw it too. Was an awesome breakdown!

[@flatearth23]

Need a tissue

[@wlbernie]

Good breakdown. I found the match extremely exciting

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Thank you. And same!

[@Qwerty8139]

This was so cool.

[@808BJJ_Black_Belt]

Pena did an amazing job Gordon didn’t dominate him like he was bragging about before the fight

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Did Pena do how you expected? Or did he surprise you?

[@reedjohnson8501]

@@DeepDiveJJ putting Gordon in 50/50 so often was surprising - he showcased good guard retention. I care more about an ADCC match between them

[@pugnatumterram7452]

He made him quit. That is domination.

[@genises200]

If you quit because because you can't beat somebody and your exhausted, that's domination. After the press Gordon said he wanted to play with him before he starts to sub him. He did a lot of what did for promotion for his videos. Lot of videos he teaches the things he does in his videos.

[@cypresspuz]

Dude he got embarrased by Gordon and he quit like a bitch. He let Leandro down.

[@DonnieCampos]

3:55 could be used as a leg drag defense???

[@bikeomatic8005]

Well done Ryan, a true master of Bjj

[@Mr400percent]

AMAZING breakdown! I'm gonna work on that50/50 to back take!!!! THANKS SOOOO MUCH💜💜💜🦍

[@christopher7763]

I have no idea what you’re talking about but it’s still pretty interesting 🤨

[@aprendeanestesia6938]

Thanks

[@JBCCT01]

Pena's only goal was to not get submitted. He didn't compete to win.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Welp, he did a lot better than every opponent Gordon has recently fought. Plus I give him props for fighting on the day of learning his best friend died. I woulda been crying while competing lmao

[@BK_2016sr5]

[@DeepDiveJJ]

@@BK_2016sr5 yup

[@pedrotangari7409]

I think his game was taking the back and then submitting 🧐... like not trying many subs to don't tire out or give openings to Gordon. Or maybe he just was not in the mood of fighting due to the context he was in.

[@micahjones2446]

@@DeepDiveJJ that’s not impressive. He could’ve called in and rescheduled. U don’t get credit for quitting in the middle of the match. Dude didn’t have what it takes

[@vanguelder]

man, what program do you use to write on the white board? i need that to teach math.... (please tell me if you can)

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Hey! Yea no prob. I actually used my ipad to do that. I screen record me writing in my goodnotes app. Then I airdropped the file to final cut to use in editing the video. Very simple. Lemme know if that made sense to you lol

[@vanguelder]

@@DeepDiveJJ yes it did, thanks for your time =]

[@performancej8017]

I 10000% agreed with you

[@thos1618]

In their upcoming match, I'd like to see Pena try to get to Top 50/50 and instead of withdrawing the Leg for the Wrestle-Up / Single-Leg. That should help him conserve energy.

[@cypresspuz]

Pena fought with a loser mindset because even before the fight he knew that despite beating Gordon twice, he was now the lesser grappler. His attack tools werent enough to tap Gordon and his defense was good to resist and stand up but just not good enough to avoid getting sumbitted eventually, that's why he quit after feeling a little fatigue.

[@DrThickNeck]

Some people won’t understand that Felipe’s two wins against Gordon doesn’t bear any significance anymore, only that he was better at the time. Gordon has his number after this match and their skill gap is VASTLY different. He’s leagues above now. You’re only as good as your last match.

[@cypresspuz]

@@DrThickNeck I agree mate, too much fanboys out there

[@daniela-castro]

His fucking best friend died the same day of the match lol what are you on about

[@darkshore2028]

Peña gave up this match right?

[@mrolympia2774]

I dont consider thet a loss for pena. They changed the rules and there was a whole mess by Flo grappling. So i still consider pena the winner of all matches since first one. Gordon never finished him, Pena has already done that a couple of times.

[@Eduardoalmeida_01]

Pena's friend died the same day. He didn't want to fight, but the organization and Gordon convinced him, and he thought his friend would like that, but Pena wasn't on his best day.

[@camaranpayne5355]

He was fully trained there ain't no excuse. In fact that should inspire you to fight even more

[@camaranpayne5355]

Just like Mike Tyson. But Pena is not an elite like that. Gordan is

[@jeffd660]

He was offered to reschedule but instead he asked for more money and Flo gave it to him.

[@ianrichards909]

Pena is a coward… he quit!

[@nainabla]

@@camaranpayne5355 How did Pena who is not an elite won 2:1 against Gordon who is an elite. Explain it to me?

[@dajuan2546]

A lot of people underestimated Felipe in this match. Hopefully they go at it again at ADCC.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Who’s your pick if they meet again at ADCC?

[@cloudoftime]

Why are you surprised Pena did so well? This is Ryan v Pena 3, not 1. You know Pena beat Ryan in their first two matches by submission, right? Ryan is better now, but he isn't that much better. Of course, Pena is still going to be competitive.

[@Istandal0ne1]

My money will always go on Gordon I just made your ass quit Ryan... no matter the rules

[@BahramJarrahi-l9u]

[@yukefort8402]

[@Goonman77]

Pena just lost his best friend and still rolled, he wasn't 100%

[@shakabra5]

Felipe more than lost he quit

[@Eduardoalmeida_01]

His friend died in the same day... R.I.P.

[@shakabra5]

@@Eduardoalmeida_01 and he took advantage of that by not wanting to fight. So they offered him more $. Then he fought

[@art-tb3um]

If you can't submit people in 5 minutes or less, I don't want to hear about your unstoppable, most effecient deadly Jiu Jitsu. Nick and Nate diaz are not champions or best MMA fighters, just because they are more effecient at fighting someone for an hour non stop.

[@thos1618]

That's an unrealistic expectation when two grapplers are equally matched.

[@cloudoftime]

JJ is usually only that effective against unskilled or lesser skilled opponents. Nick and Nate Diaz are not JJ world champions. Also, everyone in the UFC has some JJ training, and other skills. They did, however, both fight in championship fights in the UFC. If you don't want to hear about it, you don't have to listen. Especially if you're going to be making unreasonable statements like you did.

[@Teamsilvabjj01]

Felipe Pena did amazing …The other guy is not that good

[@DeepDiveJJ]

I wouldn't go as far to say that 😂
