Roger is just on another level. He made a 10x world champion monster look like a child. An this analysis is the best I have ever seen. Great work!

[@angelomatta2791]

100% agree. You superright bro

[@WorldPeaceLove]

Definitely didn’t make him look like a child lol

[@harleydavidson1014]

Yeah he is a monster but "making him look like a child" is a gross exaggeration imo

[@cr7kk9creyes]

i agree with you that was a really great analysis.

[@JustSujC]

Love Roger's focus on fundamentals and the basics of jiu-jitsu. Put yourself in a defensive posture and wait for the opponent to make a mistake, tire out, or simply become frustrated. It's simple, elegant, and something I hope to continue to aspire to on my own BJJ journey.

@Sean Murphy Then he choked him. Good enough for you? Also, it's not a fight. Context actually matters. Do you think Roger would have a worse time in a real fight or something? He choked one of the only people on the planet who has a fighting chance against him.

[@iceboy4545]

This is the most incredible analysis and technique explanations piece by piece that makes the people who doesnt know jiu jitsu feel amazed with this match!

[@JustSujC]

Even if you practice just a little bit of the basics of jiu-jitsu you really appreciate Roger's simplicity and focus on fundamentals.

[@DanielRamBeats]

That is an incredible breakdown, thank you!

[@StevenStranglesPeople]

I was a student of Shawns back in the old Renzo gym over the methadone clinic. Sucked when he moved to the west coast. I loved his style of teaching. Him and Danaher are the best teachers ive ever encountered. What most people dont know, is Shawn is somewhat of a prodigy. He received his black belt from Renzo in only 4 years!

[@Bovice..YT-handles-are-fn-dumb]

Fantastic breakdown. Very thorough explanations for any bjj level to understand.

[@davidhunte2348]

A fantastic commentary and fit someone that doesn't know grappling this will teach you a lot. It's amazing how much work goes on inside the circle (clinch). It doesn't look as much at first but when you break it down, as you guys have done, you really see the detail. Fantastic video and I don't know how people could dislike this video.

[@Wisstihrwas]

I really enjoyed your vid!! great analysis with a friendly, calming voice! This would be my only little point of adding to roger gracies style/ technique and fight overall. He stayed calm all the time, took his time and was patiently waiting for things to happen. In my opnion this makes the better fighter in most of the cases. If you meet somebody at your level and you know you're good, only true warriors keep the abilitys to stay calm and focused! Mostly ppl start to rush then and with rushing there come the mistakes (as i hapenned with buchecha).

[@pingislife2653]

[@Jitzlife92]

I'm surprised how poorly Buchecha disregarded the threat of being choked when Roger took his back

[@yCherkashin]

It looks like B is physically stronger than R, also more fierce. It seems that R knows to be disadvantaged, and takes this fight very seriously. And at that point in the video B looks like he exerted himself to the point where he can not "think" clear enough anymore, what with his back to the opponent, and starts "reacting". That's where his fight was lost, exertion. Which is so impressive by R. This is like watching, this is weird, I know in my bones that no amount of training would get me there-I'd have to grow up in it too for my training to proceed with the effectiveness that R displays-you kinda get the ancient Greek fascination with heroes and gods. I mean, this is kinda Adonis vs. Hapollo or whatever.

[@JustSujC]

I think it's because Bechacha's style and training is focused on sport jiu-jitsu, which emphasizes aggressive maneuvers to score points. Whereas Roger stuck to the basics and the fundamental principle of jiu-jitsu, which is self-defense first. Both styles are amazing and effective though.

The only thing beating Roger is male-pattern baldness.

[@santiagocuevas6237]

The testosterone is strong in this one.

[@frankjames2547]

jiu jitsu makes you sweat like a pig, open up your pores on your scalp hairline will I say accelerate hair loss..no doubt

[@atenanike226]

frank james really? Even for women?

[@frankjames2547]

girls normally don't have male pattern baldness...but if your a man with a genetic predisposition, yes no doubt imo it will accelerate hair loss...learn the basics the gracie combative basics r real deal for street fighting. jui jitsu as life style is not worth it..become a striped blue go back for a couple weeks every yr or every other yr for basic refresher training.. becoming a mat wizard means day after day training.the payback for the sweat and mat battles is not worth the high risk of injury..never thought jiu jitsu payed back what I put in

Roger is the G.O.A.T!!! He's the best ever, period! He's never been submitted in any comp, only losses came by way of points, and one hard right hand in MMA.. He's a machine! 71-7-1 bjj comps, and 8-2 MMA, and is currently the Cruiserweight world Champion. Crazy that he's never been submitted in almost a 100 total matches/Fights. Roger = GOAT

Rolls Gracie was also trained in judo, as well as some wrestling (I think).

[@criscrosbr]

yup, he trained lots of stuffs

Also worth noting is that when Roger comes to North London, he often pops into the Colindale drive-thru of Macca's and orders a McChicken Sandwich with extra lettuce.

@@noadiab Takedowns and throws from wrestling n judi

[@trevormarcray]

as bjj has evolved with more complex set-ups and submissions coming from the legs and other places, as well as the fact that in itself the art has become far more advanced..... this should not happen! But somehow Roger stays old-school, keeps his basics on point and he just absolutley crushes. I mean... he purposley pulls guard on Buchecha. I would have loved it if a prime Rickson and Roger would've had an old school no time limit bjj match. The heart says Rickson but the mind says Roger.... but who knows.

[@Sr.D]

The Judo level of Roger it's impressive, he probably will do very well in a judo tournament

[@cupcake6581]

No he wouldn't .he has slightly more advanced than normal gripping and wrestling knowledge but he would get wrecked in a judo tournament. The biggest thing for me when I started judo was undoing/being able to control the built in bjj habits and when I started I had only done bjj for two years. He would have a much harder time undoing bad habits. Of course he could do the jiu jitsu guy move (which I did in my first judo competition because I was a white belt against green belts in an adult competition when I was 14 but thank God for bjj) do a terrible tomoe nage attempt which just turns into a guard pull and submit them. But still he would have no chance against someone like Michael korrel or even Nikoloz sherazadishvilig end of.

[@AljosaPLampe]

@@cupcake6581 Well Roger did actually train judo in the UK for a while, so he isn't wrong in my opinion

[@paulspector8220]

He displays no judo at all. Doesn't matter that the guy doing the breakdown is telling you his gripping is good. Neither of them display any wrestling or judo skills

Roger's balance is incredible....
