[@rickybarksdale7150]

I appreciate that Gordon not ripping a submission, he had it sunk in and could’ve done anything he wanted but he chose to give him a chance to tap. He’s a true martial artist, had that been Rousimar Palhares, Matheus wouldn’t have a BJJ career anymore.

It's also the ultimate show of dominance. You can control your opponent in a submission without a chance to escape.

[@gonenhuminer7712]

Not enough trainers nowdays teach their students to leave the ego out side of the gym to avoid unecessery injuries. Gordon ryan sets an example that even the best grappler out there has no interest in breaking his opponents body parts. Amazing role model for all generations!

[@nicolobo764]

Danaher and Gordon Ryan were litteraly saying the opposite on the lex fridman podcast...that ego is necessary.

[@AB-dm8nt]

@@nicolobo764 Agreed. You can’t smash ego and expect top competitors at modern levels. That’s not to say that there can’t be a mutual respect or gentlemen’s agreement in the match. @gonen Chess players can see checkmate in advance too. The courtesy to end the match when mate is recognized in several moves doesn’t mean chessmasters don’t have an ego. Ultimately, I agree it’s nice to see, but go ahead and bring your ego in, just be ready to admit defeat or seal a position so well you have a chance to save a worthy opponent’s career for another day. Both exist, and this match demonstrates that beautifully.

[@lucasgabrielmoura3384]

Toquinho manda msg 🤦‍♂️

[@JaysSavvy]

That's my favorite thing about this sport. Two masters playing chess can see "Checkmate" before it's actually played out. That's what happened here. He caught the heel-hook, both of them knew it was sunk, instead of playing the move and possibly seriously injuring his opponent they made eye-contact, nodded to one-another, and shook hands. No damage. No bad feelings. Just: "You got me/I got you, Well Played/Thank you." And both men walk off without injury. You love to see it.

[@NateVHVT]

That's the way it should be; let's be honest you know if you've been caught, but I've seen people try to fight out of a losing position and end up hurt for nothing.

Underrated comment

[@nathantheophilus4856]

I think this match is a reminder for everyone as much of an asshole Gord is on and off camera, he is absolutely careful and even sympathetic when it comes to submissions. I don't think i've ever seen him unecessarily crank a submission even if it risked his opponent escape. He couldve easily ripped that leg to shreds but didnt. The onlinr chatter is maybe part act, or maybe he truly is as loud/brash as he markets himself to be, but on the mats that man is undeniable. Truly the world's best nogi grappler active today, and perhaps in history when all is said and done.

[@TheBrownieSundownHD]

He is the embodiment of being SO GOOD at something that everyone has to respect it. Like the early rounds of ADCC where he just carefully trounces people.

I think he has collective no gi goat accolades but hes not adcc goat nor ibjjf worlds goat. Just a few more adcc golds and a win over galvao to confirm this. Also his GOAT-ness is very dependent on his longevity. He's not gonna be unmatched forever, i just hope he doesnt yaknow fall off. I dont think he will, personally.

Nicky Ryan, Gord's younger brother will always wanna impress/beat his older bro Nichilas Meregali and dan manasoiou will be beasts but they're his teammates. The brazillians, upset that their representatives keep getting smashed believes mica galvao is the future but the kid's different weightclasses. Maybe if he finds the right uhm "brazilliam dieting program" he can muscle up to gord's size but idk if that'a necessary nor possible. The two ruotolo brothers (Tye and Kade) have been really really good but again, much lighter than gord, will need to eat many more bowls of acaí to get there :D. Of course there is also the guy everyone considers Gord's former number two on the DDS, former teammate Craig Jones but he's an established grappler, not on the comeup, and something like 0-3 vs Gordon.

[@yskong]

Matheus actually did very good. Very few top athlete can get out of Gordan's mount game. Especially when he is on another weight level.

[@zpettigrew]

Just watched several Gordon Ryan matches. He seems to wear his opponents down by using his strong legs and leg/hip dexterity. Let's them used their upper body - while he use his more powerful lower body where he can always "roll" away or out. He maintains his gas tank, burns theirs down, then uses the flaws that develop in the opponent due to fatigue. Pretty brilliant stuff.

[@nickdiaz4961]

That’s exactly what he’s a master of. Danaher is probably behind this tactic

[@burpeesrolling3234]

Watch his most recent interview on the Joe Rogan Podcast. I think Mo is on at the same time. He talks about why his style of BJJ only gets better with age and why he's not in his prime yet. It touches on the difference of having an athletic form of Jiujitsu vs a constricting and slow form.

[@HolyMith]

Well spotted, there are a few things he does to grind his opponents down. For one, he baits positional changes so they exert energy to escape when he isn't actually changing position, and he "attacks" safe submission sequences that don't require him to change position, so that his opponent is forced to react do defend a faux attack and therefore uses more energy. In this match in particular, he also applied pain via shoulder pressure to psychologically wear his opponent down, as well as restricting his breathing with his chest whilst he had mount. The breathing thing in particular massively tanks your stamina, and forces you into desperate, energy-burning movements to dislodge him. He was definitely playing the long game, and by the time Diniz managed to escape, he had so little energy left that Ryan snatched the heel with relative ease.

[@zpettigrew]

@@HolyMith Thanks. I've been doing BJJ on and off since 2003. Royce Gracie was my first instructor (GO Gracie South!). When I was younger - my style was hyper hyper-aggressive. Won a few tournaments. But never like REALLY good. I suffered some disabling injuries in the military and was discharged. When I went back to teaching MMA/BJJ - I had to completely change/adapt my game because I was out of shape, had a blown out knee with 5 thoracic discs destroyed. Even spinal cord impingement. Surgically reconstructed shoulder. So my movement was limited. I had to adapt fast, training my pro and ammy fighters. Was forced to develop a game more similar to Ryans'. Thinking about it NOW - I wish I had not been so bull-headed (from wrestling) and inefficient with my game and movement when I was younger. I also have very strong legs, and am freakishly flexible. Very dumb of me to have tried to "muscle" everything when I was in my 20s. The Psychological angle is something interesting you mention that only came to me recently. More, I was thinking of acting with the same principles, using the same tools a magician uses. Misdirection, distraction. Slide of hand/limb, the perception/angle of your opponents vision etc. This would include the "Faux attacks" you speak of. I like presenting vulnerabilities to set traps. That is REALLY high level though - the psychological end. Didn't see that on first viewing at all. Great catch. Adds an interesting dimension. The breathing stuff - I have been using since my wrestling days. But Gordon does it better than any. He's both "like water" AND a Guerilla Warfare Specialist. I'm retired. My sister is a Professional MMA Fighter (Tina "The Predator" Pettigrew - check her fights out in the youtube search bar). I've been trying to teach her some of these tools/principles. Which carry over to MMA to great effect. But, she seems almost "too intense" or aggressive to apply them. Maybe it's just a "mat time" thing? Any ideas?

[@HolyMith]

@@zpettigrew Wow, sounds like you have a pretty storied history there, Im jealous! I don't think there's anything *wrong* with having a more athletic approach to BJJ, in fact the majority of very successful pros take this approach. To be dynamic and strong, and to "muscle" in as you put it. This will very quickly expose defensive weaknesses your opponent has. The trouble is, that is doesn't work very well in a longer match, when your opponent has a tight guard game, or when you are on the defensive. The ADCC and IBJJF rules for example, are designed to force players to engage in a short timeframe to score points. This is conducive to an athletic approach because you have to worry less about the gas tank and if your opponent is on defence, he still has to attack sweeps etc to score points, which will sometimes expose his defence. In MMA, there are a couple of things to consider, primarily because striking is now involved. This can be a brutally effective way to psychologically wear your opponent down, and causing bleeding in the nose can very much restrict breathing or force them to breathe through the mouth, leaving the jaw slack and more susceptible to damage. The question becomes, is it better to hold position and employ typical BJJ psych/gassing methods, or cause as much damage as possible? The answer, in my opinion, lies with what your opponent's strengths are. If they have a great BJJ game and are likely to be able to get you off, then ground and pound. If they are weaker on the ground then start gassing them out, applying pain and controlling their breathing through body triangles and chest pressure etc. That being said, if you take no pains at all to conserve your energy, you WILL gas out early and you'll be left wide open. I watched one of your sister's fights, and she is really impressive but this sadly happened to her. She still won though, so it looks like she toed the line very well!

[@healthfitness7974]

Love the ending there. A lot of us went into BJJ because you can go all out and still not have to get hurt or hurt your opponent. The spirit of BJJ is displayed here very well.

[@michaelm9871]

Love that he didn't smash his leg up. Matheus clearly didn't want to tap at first, but he could see Gordon clearly had the position and just wasn't cranking it intentionally and tapped. Good on both of them, Matheus for not taking advantage and Gordon for not cranking a sub that could have taken Matheus out of the game perhaps indefinitely.

He is just seen as superior cuz he was born large enough to be 230lbs shredded and compete in absolutes.

[@brendon2462]

@@REXAZOR But he did sweep Buchecha once and Pena twice if I remember correctly. He also got back control a few times no hooks but still control and takedowns. Pena didn't do anything to Gordon. A lot of that match with Pena he was pacing himself. Not going 100% right away. I believe he can pass Pena guard. But he will have to expend a lot of energy to do it. It was too risky so he didn't want to gass early. Will see if they meet in adcc under time limit. Buchecha I think stalled a lot didn't want to engage and do jiu jitsu. That's why Ryan didn't get anything else going. After the sweep he got passive. He was even penalized for it. He would engage just enough to avoid a penalty. Then back off again rinse and repeat not commit to anything. I personally don't like sub only. Because the no time limit doesn't encourage action. Guys can go slow half effort because it's a marathon. Neither wanted to risk gassing. It's a competition of conserve and make your opponent expend energy. I watched a break down. Gordon was making pena work harder in certain positions. While he conserved his energy for later. He was starting to turn up the effort. When he noticed pena starting to fade.

Of course everyone has a chance- but not a big one. The sport of grappling is different from the sport of MMA, the same way we really don't know how well Gord's skills translates to MMA. Khabib by his own admission relies on punches to help advance position in grappling situations - take that away and he'll have to resort to other methods that he might not have trained as extensively. There was an old video of a young khabib losing on points (In a bjj ruleset, though) to a BJJ blackbelt in Russia. This was young khabib , yes, but he was sambo champ at that point in time. Just rules will always advantage those who have spent more time dedicating themselves to that particular ruleset.
