I saw a younger man not giving up on an older man after the competition- teaching him a lesson on grace and humility.

[@villiantwo]

i haven't the slightest clue what i just saw lol...

[@pjmbijlmer]

Well said, Mikey ain't no slouch, he's an awesome guy

[@ambientartphotography2245]

Huh? The older man acted like a sore loser.

[@sea2959]

@@ambientartphotography2245 nothing as fragile as a male ego of a fighter

[@cincinatus90]

Mikey acts like a toddler that got his toy taken when ppl don't want to have a hugfest after a match. And he looks at the crowd for approval and support like a wimp too. He's pathetic in that way.

[@jayd6813]

Mikey is such a class act. Much needed professionalism and heart for the BJJ culture and lots of years ahead to transform it for the good.

[@BP-vr3rt]

No he is not. He acts like a kid, even though he is almost 30. He is weird, awkward, and... whatever

[@jayd6813]

@@BP-vr3rt wow, a response to my 2 year old comment! I agree with you - those are the reasons people like him - he doesn't fit the typical character (which I am sorry to say isn't usually anything to want to be)

I looked him up and found this after an interview I saw that he did with Joe Rogan. He talks about pizza the whole time and it's great. He exudes a youthful/pure spirit. That's exactly how he comes across to me in this match.

Mikey is such a good person he doesn’t want his opponent to leave upset no matter what happened. RESPECT 💪🏾

[@swazza9999]

I like Mikey but I want to call out this comment. Not your comment only, but it's one in a series of many like this praising Mikey but not acknowledging he could do better. In this particular instance here's why: I don't think Mikey did the best job in not upsetting Bruno here. After Bruno spat the dummy by refusing to shake his hand, the best move would have been to ignore and not make a thing of it and discuss it discretely afterwards. But instead Mikey very openly and publicly denounced him and led the audience into jeering at him. I like that Mikey is outspoken about this sort of thing, but in terms of social dynamics I don't think he handles at the best way. And his actions here were certainly not screaming "I really don't want Bruno to be upset". Not the best example to follow in my opinion.

[@josedelcarmenbenitoleon4526]

Muestra su humildad y buen respeto q tiene a sus oponentes !

[@BM-wp7nh]

@@swazza9999 Act childish and get childish treatment I guess. If they were friends or close family then doing it privately works. if they're two professionals setting the standard out in public teaches the sore loser a lesson and the world on what an example is set. Have you thought about the consequences of him not doing what he did and the thousands of people plus the youth that watch this would think its okay to act the way the ex champ acted? at least now the world sees.

[@swazza9999]

@@BM-wp7nh yeah but now all those people dream of humiliating someone in public like Mikey did. I think it was pretty obvious to most people that his opponent was being an ass. What's really subtle is that Mikey is kind of being one too. Bruno's mistake takes the emotional of maturity of a 15 year old to spot. Many adults may never learn to spot Mikey's.

[@BM-wp7nh]

@@swazza9999 from the angle in which you are approaching it what you are saying makes sense, ultimately both atheletes could've handled the matters in different ways. Mikey could lack the wisdom as he was 24 there and as time goes by he would learn to react differently. the other fighter was far more immature with his lack of respect to another fighter which to me justifies how someone would react the way mikey did with his lack of wisdom. Yet the truth stands, if you were the salty athlete and you were treated like a 15 year old in front of the public you might have the ability to self reflect and learn from your wrongful attitude or build resentment. Either scenario showcases that he is a salty fighter with a lack of emotional IQ and it has been shown to the world. I could write an essay on why both of them have missed reality cues. The reality still stands though, no one is perfect and majority of people would never be smart enough to capture the small details. have a blessed day.

I'll never forget this poor sportsmanship by Bruno. Could never look at him the same after acting like an absolute child after this loss.

[@ITZollx]

I can totally understand not wanting to shake your opponents hand immediately after a BIG loss but to suggest you are going to shake hands and then pull away is nothing short of childish and poor character; your true self is shown in loss.

[@jackostripes5452]

Give him a break bro ...Is the heat of the match.

As vezes a aceitação daquilo que por mínima vontade foi dada ao próximo, não por desempenho ou técnica mas por estratégia! Parabéns Mussumeci JR, OSS!

[@BlockheadJiujitsu]

Fantastic match of pure skill. Bruno plays the rules for points and waits it out to re-sweep getting ankle grips early and waiting until the other guy is on top so I'm not sure what people are mad about with Mikey "stalling", they both play to the rules of the event and have the skill to do so. I've watched some recently posted IBJJF clips of Marcelo and other greats back in the 2000s after a loss: shake hands or hug if you want, move on. Bruno has so much experience at the absolute highest level and still no class after losing to a new generation. It's a shame but I hope he can develop emotionally.

[@davin397]

It humbled you. I went to a free class at a local jiu jitsu and got absolutely wrecked by people far less physically imposing. Being in situations where your adversary can break your arm or choke you to death May the trivialities of life less important. It puts life into perspective and brings about balance

[@travisedwards3543]

Probably the result of it being so nuanced and patience being needed to execute your plan. Not that striking doesn't have those qualities as well, it's just a little more suspectable to flash wins. But I'm sure its the culture surrounding it and what kind of etiquette they "demand".

[@petermorris3312]
