[@petrasanton3726]

what nicky has done to win? he didn't even remotely attempt to pass cyborg's guard. he was so afraid of his guard that he tried to halfguard pass him at his toes. no pressure, no real attempt, just hoping to run around cyborg quick enough so he can pass him without engaging with him at all. to be fair it's not just against cyborg, nicky either gets the bodylock or he refuses to do jiu-jitsu

[@bolafeshitan3466]

[@hagenanon9484]

you probably still can! i dont know how old you are, maybe too old for competition if you frame it like that, but BJJ as a hobby should be possible. there are many guys out there over 50 or 60 doing bjj. for example Ed O Neill aka Al bundy.

[@TheGunnyBadger03xx]

Let's be honest, Nicky Rod had several pass attempts (the purpose of being on top) and Cyborg only had a few sweep/sub attempts (the purpose of being on bottom). That's why Nicky got the nod.

[@modesttriangle1022]

Yeah in other words his flashy movements got him the win, not his skill. Cyborg was clearly more skilled in this match, if only by a point or two

Nathan McMullen 😂 ya. thanks champ.

[@dannyholley]

It's reasonable to expect the judges to get things right more often than not. In a submission-grappling tournament, judges should be expected to favor fighters who are actively trying to submit their opponents.

[@nathanmcmullen1527]

Daniel Holley Hi, thats your opinion brother. I dont disagree that attacking submissions is exciting, but you have to think about how it affects the rules. In matches where a submission attempt is a point all you see are shitty leg lock attempts.

Ótima luta, num ponto de vista de agressividade e movimentação, eu notei o Nick, mas agressivo e ele buscava o tempo todo, oportunidades para pontuar, cyborg fez um jogo de guarda durante muito tempo, e andou muito para trás quando estava, em pé talvez se ele tivesse saído na mão mas em pé, poder ter sido bem diferente, lembrando que na regra do ADCC, quando o oponente faz guarda, se eu não estiver enganado, o guardeiro já toma menos um ponto. Talvez na próxima o cyborg possa acreditar mas na luta em pé como ele fez contra o Buchecha!

Nick tried and wanted the fight much more than Cyborg. Yeah yeah..Cyborg is a beast and all but he just played guard, and almost had the arm after a Nick’s failed attempt, in other words: Nick paced the match, even if sometimes in a disastrous/trembled way (like 8:19), therefore won
