[@KnozD]

These boys definitely delivered. With matches like this, the grappling industry for sure will have a bright future

[@phillyphil4824]

lol, this was boring as hell!

[@awwwsy]

Beginning was nice but end made me realize why I don't want to do it. I would have tapped as soon as my face had to be smashed into the Crack of someone's butt. Then multiple times and at length. Just to much.

U watch JIU JITSU?!

Finally, a No Gi Match where I know the positions they’re in.

🤣 leg locks can be confusing I feel you haha

[@danagunderson5926]

Lots of nuts and butts in face by roberto

[@TheArtofGuitar]

This video quality is insane. Nice work guys! I feel like I'm actually there.

[@WayneKing_]

Fuckin hell man your definitely into martial arts I see you in almost video I watch respect 🙏

[@DJBiermann]

I remember seeing you on lockflow back in the day and wondering how you can train and keep your fingers healthy!

[@TheArtofGuitar]

@@DJBiermann Wow just hearing Lockflow brings back so many memories. I developed this highly defensive finger-protecting style where I bail on anything if I sense it could lead to finger or hand injury. Lots of lost grips. :/

[@sovannpen]

Lockflow, blast from the past!

[@cooperevans8033]

this is what will grow jiu jitsu

[@elijahk117]

This match is a big favorite of mine. If every match was like this jiu jitsu would already be way bigger. The filming, the commentary, and the dynamism of the athletes are top tier

[@prithvib8662]

Phenomenal pacing. These guys brought it. I really hope this is what Jiu-Jitsu is trending towards.

[@adamabbas1487]

I think that these kinds of matches may become more common. Especially with grappler who start very young so have very fluid movement. Buchecha used to compete like this years ago before with his old instructor cavaca.

[@bsenka]

The more I see it, the more I like the ADCC ruleset.

[@jdog4303]

Why???

[@mba321]

@@jdog4303 Well, penalties guard pulling, for one. Acting like a passive beta isn't exactly going to be marketable for grappling or jiu jitsu.

[@adamabbas1487]

It's usually the grappler that makes it exciting. There are some really boring adcc matches where they spend most of the time saving energy for the last few minutes of the match and just club each other on the back of the head till points starts.

[@drjimjam1112]

Like the sub only matches with a tie breaker 10P style much more than adcc style.

[@JohnEpresent]

@@mba321 alright alpha watch out everyone

[@coreyandersonbjj6120]

Beautiful match and great sportsmanship from both athletes. We need more matches like these.

[@christianmadden1301]

Wow I woulda been gassed after the first 30 seconds awesome match

[@danielfloyd396]

I always appreciate a match where 99% of the fight isn’t spent hunting the heel.

[@FumanchuLea]

Amazing! Frenetic pace of action with a finish to top it!

De Ecuador 🇪🇨 para el mundo !

[@tricke101]

Thank you for the upload, an amazing match.

[@fabfab2991]

Increible lucha de Roberto digna para recordarla siempre.

[@geekdiggy]

12:07 producer was doing such a bad job timing the shots he got called out by the live commentary. my guy in the booth was just pushing buttons to see which camera was which.

[@cleanwheat1778]

Love the mutual respect at the end of the match!

[@wiliamas]

Esse Gimenez tem uma transição extraordinária!!!! Que atleta fora da curva...

[@seshatube]

Definitely worth the hype. Respect to both. 🔥

[@Seegie16]

Match of the hair

[@chrismeeks809]

roberto always delivers for great matches man. I love that arm trap w the body triangle from back mount he keeps going back to. it never fails!

[@sergiodacosta6032]

Tremendous match. Nonstop action. The way Jiu Jitsu should be 🤙🏼👏🏼

[@DanielIvan707]

That was sick! We need more of this

[@FlameableMusic]

Brilliant match! The preview image of this video does show the winner in the finishing position though. It gave away the end result.

8:21 absolute beauty of a sweep, slowed it down and watched like 10 times- will try it tomorrow and report back (white belt😅). Perfect timing on the commentary too.

[@cvspvr]

how'd it go?

[@dcreech500]

The future of jiu jitsu! Beautiful jiu jitsu. Get em all Roberto!!!

[@user-tk6tz9nl1v]

"Wrestle-Jitsu" is not a good description. It is called grappling.

[@MindBlown720]

These commentators dont even sound like they do bjj sometimes with the corny shit they say😂

[@mba321]

Exactly. These commenters are annoying.

[@JohnGrowKnows]

Poh-tato, puh-tato. Who cares

[@Shinji91]

It's almost like people are unaware of catch wrestling or the idea that wrestling has had submissions since the beginning of time.

[@alniter1919]

Man the last time i saw this lil guy he was a grey belt .. now hes buggie choking everyone.. i love it

[@marcomaquera6899]

increíble simplemente increíble a lo máximo habré podido entender todo lo que han hecho es un 15% o un 10% simplemente increíble el nivel de estos profesionales, cada paso que hacen tiene un contra opuesto para anularlo o voltear su pelea a su favor asombroso

[@joeypuvel1228]

This was so entertaining. WOW.

[@sirtrevis]

Wow! Both of them. Wow! I've been doing jits since 1996, and I barely knew what I was looking at. )

sounds like f1 race going on next door.

[@mba321]

It's a Brazilian thing. it's been happening in MMA, BJJ and Vale Tudo for ages. Just listen to Chute Boxe's corners in PRIDE, it's literally the only sounds they make all fight.

[@yadierrodriguez2944]

INSANE !!!! Match of the year for me

[@urshandschin5108]

The two men begin the wrestling with a heated standing fight. The long ground fight that follows is extremely fierce and dogged from start to finish!

Raul Jimenez at 8:32 looks like a cross between Jon Bernthal as The Punisher and the most interesting man in the world from the Dos Equis commercials, with a pinch of Tony Montana for good measure. Fucking Legend.

[@jasonmcdonald4979]

Best match of the night for sure

[@leonardodelcastillo9974]

En mi opinión y experiencia, uno no debe de hacer movimientos de escape hasta tener bien defendido el mataleon, al moverte siempre abres ligeramente el espacio entre la barbilla y el hombro, es lo que estaba esperando el atacante para terminar de meter su brazo y terminar la pelea. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@lockingpaul]

Sick as!

They should do these round robin style. 3 points for a sub, 2 points for win in overtime and 1 for a draw. That’s how you make it exciting
