Having Gordon Ryan on the commentary is such a blessing. He provides great insight. I wish you had let him talk a bit more. Thanks for posting this match 👍

He's going through the Gohan stage

It’s old news bro. If you don’t already know by the time they post the video then you aren’t keeping up to date.

It’s frustrating how competitor can avoid being scored on by fleeing mat as he’s taken down. In FS wrestling the attacker would still score.

[@thisguy-yv5so]

True i think an advantage being awarded to the attacker or atleast some kind of warning system would be nice in order to mitigate those kinds of problems

[@nainoa2323]

@@thisguy-yv5so they just need a pride referee to push them back in

[@offgridliving1196]

Points are silly

[@allsports13]

I thought you get a penalty for "fleeing the match" if you do this. Asked my coach today actually and he said that

[@user-vc6]

If your back sprawling and the attack pushes you out it’s not considered fleeing … rolling out of bounds running or backing up super intentionally are considered fleeing .. it’s kinda of subjective but rules allow the defender so leeway if your not intentionally abusing it

[@pedromoreira6199]

Dante is so cool and one of my favorites but a video with all the times he has been taken down would be super fun with his reactions. Maybe a few of his own for redemption..

I'm new to FloGrappling, ADCC and competitive bjj in general, so can someone tell me if Dante Leon is his real name or if he's just a huge fan of Resident Evil and Devil May Cry?

Torn miniscus. Needs surgery. Either remove it (4-6 week recovery) with the certainty of arthritis or repair (6 month recovery) with near certainty that it’s going to tear again

[@pasawisstangwiwat4974]

When did Nicky injury his knee?

[@SquaredbyX]

I may be throwing my competitive advantage away here, but in order to pass the guard, you have to do a guard pass.

[@nameless6611]

Lol 😆 I thought I was the only one

[@drock00013]

Nicky's pass? Was a pass from butterfly halfguard

[@SquaredbyX]

@@drock00013 In general, the whole match, across all matches for years is what I meant. Don't you wonder why people don't do guard passes, things you learn early in.

This match is beautiful. Gordon calling everything out seconds in advance is flat out GODLY. How do I send you guys money?

[@Eduardo1Garcia]

Can a kind soul please explain "negative points"? Or link me to the rules/explainer and I'll read it myself.

[@nicolasgermanos9958]

You get -1 point for pulling guard at any point in the match, it gets subtracted from your point total at the end of the match. So Nicky scored 5 points in the match (2 for takedown, 3 for guard pass) but got -1 twice for guard pulling. Final score was therefore 3-0.

[@Eduardo1Garcia]

@@nicolasgermanos9958 Thanks, man.

[@aplus1080]

Fun fact: you're not alone in being uncertain about the unclear ADCC rules. Gordon lost a match to Leandro Lo for not understanding the rules and thinking he was behind on the scores despite actually being ahead.

[@NiK11612]

When was the last time Nicky caught someone in a leg lock????

[@az8039]

Like 3 matches ago I’m pretty sure? Correction 4 matches ago

[@dylanwagner1162]

He did it for 10 years straight let him work some other stuff in comp lol

[@acrobatman]

Noob question: why do you award negative points vs. just giving points to the opponent like in most other sports?

[@Shortcuts010]

*not an expert - I think a competitor gets negative points because in the Match he is the one initiating a bad move which is not allowed. You don’t reward the other player because he didn’t do anything to deserve those points. Therefore the scoreboard just shows that one guy did some things wrong while the other isn’t really doing anything 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@acrobatman]

@@Shortcuts010 Thank you - great answer!!

[@aplus1080]

In particular: guard pulling. Guard pulling is supposedly annoying to spectators and not "sTrEeT eFfEcTiVe", so it takes a hit in many competitions (ADCC for example).

There’s way less danger in a jiu jitsu match with an injury than in an mma match where an injury can likely lead to being knocked out which is never a good thing

Seeing more and more wrestling in these WNO matches, I wonder if they are telling them, they need to show case some more wrestling for the views. Maybe Trying to get non-Grapplers to tune in. But Great match. I love seeing more wrestling happening.

[@kymma2589]

Not even close. Who's ever the better wrestler usually wins. These guys are so good to actually get a finish is hard, so scoring points helps. Every grappler needs to wrestle. Nicky rod great example of a pure wrestler making it to adcc. Well he's not anymore.

I don't mind the steroid use in this sport. It's when combat JJ, and then mma, and boxing where it gets tricky. Long term brain damage and tbi's due to chemical enhancement is where I draw the line. Wrestling and JJ I find it morally ok. Carry on.
