Michael Pixley vs David Wright Jr. / World Championship No-Gi 2024

[@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511]

first ankle pick was beautiful. reset was criminal

[@cooperdeek7910]

Snatched his soul

[@jinxproof1996]

The reset is disgraceful.

[@markhunter2307]

Pixley’s snap down to ankle pick is a criminal act.

[@luiscruz5556]

where is the snapdown? all i saw were standard ankle picks off the collar tie

[@mr.okanefan3218]

@@luiscruz5556he snaps them down before he picks the ankle, it isnt a major snapdown but a snapdown nonetheless, slow it down and you'll see it

[@brendanknott3761]

Good shit for this guy not pulling guard. Went out like a G

[@Alxitment]

So... bad at jiu jitsu? lol

[@brendanknott3761]

@@Alxitment😂yes but good at entertaining us

[@Spiritof_76]

Going turtle after being taken down was his demise... could have rolled to guard, which would have given him SOME chance.

[@manofomezero]

Meregalli is studying this match hahaha

[@prithvib8662]

He should probably study one where Pixley loses lol

[@nujxad]

that ankle pick is nasty

michael ankle pixley

[@tongahealingchannel1875]

Looking like Cael Sanderson with that ankle pick

[@danielcuns9087]

Pixley what a beast

[@byron_bliss]

How come Pixley is not getting points for the take down or back take at 1:24? Much appreciated!

[@tylorjordon1642]

Action occured out of bounds (yellow marker). Therefore Pixley received 3 advantages and no points.

[@Bjjbgk]

because IBJJF is a garbage organization and anyone good doesnt respect it or its rules.

[@yoink_fishing]

@@tylorjordon1642 stupid ibjjf rules

[@byron_bliss]

@@tylorjordon1642 Thank you so much for the clarification

[@dansmithbyu1784]

IBJJF has the worst ruleset ever

[@shabblabbat]

1:03 voices from Down Under, is that Spatchzilla? ha!

[@cameronmedford-hawkins4736]

pixley should not be celebrating wins on as a purple belt anymore. its actually a joke thats robbing competitors of legit wins at there experience level. Its like when jon jones or khabib rock up to a casual grappling comp. silly. now i know its the world championship and he might be a "purple belt" but anyone not wearing a brown after thoroughly trouncing one of the best grapplers in the world is THE biggest sandbagger. Peaace out

[@phobowl]

Agree!

[@tekanobob]

purple belt? sandbagging much?

[@TJ-vl1ff]

Look at his match with Nicky Rod. He's a purple belt. Just a very dominant one.

[@DonavanBarraza]

yowza

[@prideneverdies1001]

mean ankle pick

[@thechaddad1609]

Ankle Pixley

[@mattiejitsu]

Bigger mats are needed...and more stalling calls for backing up. The rules are silly at this point. First takedown was mastery but no points because the guy rolled to turtle? I think the rules need to evolve a bit.

[@andersnilssondvm]

No. Mats with slanted sides like in CJI is needed. Never ever again a reset.

[@benhallo1553]

Jui jitsu rules and refereeing are complete ass. If rules were put in with similar rigour as wrestling - heavy on stall calls and going out of bounds it would be so much er better

[@ItsPandatory]

Agreed about mats and stalling calls but Pixley didn't get the points there because he rolled for the back. If he had stayed in that referee position he would have probably scored the 2 and been reset because the takedown started in bounds and finished on the yellow. But being on the yellow and then rolling for the back that technique was never in bounds and went even further out.

[@Haraldo-l7w]

I love how we all love BJJ and think IBJJF rules are too often complete trash. Overhaul needed fast.

[@DreX-8810]

Maybe you should be more humble n be grateful Bjj was even brought to the states.

[@Haraldo-l7w]

What does that mean? Complaining about the inadequate rules from a Federation letting down athletes in a sport we all love? How is that ingratitude you absolute mouth-breather… you make it sound like I’m urinating on Helio’s grave.

[@marcohernandez9635]

Why is he still at purple?

[@Tablespoonmischief]

Technically he hasn’t been training jiujitsu that long I guess. He’ll probably be brown soon

[@iloveharrypotter22]

Heath Pedigo has to be the most vain instructor ever to keep Pixley at purple belt

[@brian8861]

does ibjjf not enforce obvious sandbagging?...

[@StanleyPinchak]

IBJJF has time in belt requirements that can only be waived by winning a world championship in IBJJF

[@padshardbank]

Why is he only a purple belt, how vain can his instructor be.
