Polaris 4: Garry Tonon vs Gilbert Burns

[@aplus1080]

Gilbert is criminally underrated in MMA.

[@aplus1080]

I'm sure he also keeps a helluva sedjwell.

[@victordos8749]

I agree man, he always has very entertaining fights

[@bigfacenickle]

Facts . Hes dummy nice

[@cypresspuz]

FUCK GILBERT

[@CodyS777-oc8vs]

He lost this match.... Also If you want to get ranked and get notoriety then you have to beat ranked opponents, which he hasn’t. so.......

[@cattalkbmx]

That was a beautiful match, some really high level stuff so casually and flowy.

[@robinbergfeld5140]

Like poetry.

[@oldironsides4107]

Great match. Gilbert came in almost 20 lbs over the agreed upon 170 contract weight. As Brazilians always do against Americans.

[@darrenstettner5381]

Gilbert Burns is champion material. Acted like a champion in defeat too. I was stoked for Tonon’s win. Tonon is my favorite jiujitsu guy by far. I think it’d be murder if they met in the an MMA cage though.

[@cheesegrater8011]

Well burns is a way bigger guy...

[@emileajar9880]

Welterweight against featherweight

[@marcomonaldi9058]

Not only the weight, Burns is also a lethal striker now.

[@nstv23]

Size matters in MMA even more so with rounds to recover. In a no time limit MMA match Tonor could have a chance. Gilbert is in a much higher level than Tonon when comes down to MMA

[@kevinrodriguez9659]

Literally the first punch that gilbert lands would destroy that man lol man has fists like a sledgehammer

[@RobSomeone]

Got recommended this the day Burns was confirmed to have COVID. Hope he's back to fighting soon.

[@shrimuyopa8117]

A lot of submission attempts. Really fun to watch.

[@Albert-yg5is]

Gary Tonon style!!!

[@XenolVlatriX]

Woah never watched a submission match before this is amazing. Guess we all find new stuff during quarantine.

[@jzargo1709]

If you like it you should start training

[@unclereub4024]

check out his teammates in the danaher death squad too

[@heymelon]

And an amazing sport to train if you don't want to do mma or grapple in a GI that much.

[@timbarry5080]

These guys are so good. So relaxed, flexible and flowing.

[@chuzzredding17]

Garry Tonon is one of the best I've seen so far. He had some competition during this match. He always seems to find a way to push through it. Great Work!..

[@NT-vb9vv]

garry really is the best

[@Serbinator_Dominator]

Chuzzlevit Redding exept in MMA he would get wrecked

[@glenmosier8644]

@@Serbinator_Dominator not sure if you specifically meant against Gilbert but tonon is 5-0 at one championship. Also they fight in different weight classes now technically, though each one has fought in the others current respective weight class

[@recipoldinasty]

Ramless Alpha gilbert would absolutely kill him in mma, way better wrestling and would ko him standing, not even need to use boths bjj

[@pvlapa]

Aren't they a weight class apart in mma? Tonon fights at 155 at ONE and that's without weight cutting. So if he went to UFC they could possibly be 2 weight classes apart.

[@ClaytonJonesImages]

Garry has one of the most, if not THE most, cerebral jiu-jitsu styles there is. He finds a way to get to positions he wants to from any angle.

[@BestWayKilla]

Whenever he's fighting someone not named DJ Jackson or Lucas Lepri.

[@cunecao]

He is awesome! Do you know Rafael Mendes? He is grest to.

[@frankmitchell1246]

Gary is great and if you want to see cerebral look at Mikey Musumeci

[@e.rod.moto.]

Durinho: well deserved name. Very tough and a gentleman. 👍 Awesome match.

[@Ramone_JiuJitsu]

Underrated side control escape at the :30 sec mark. He made it look easy, but that was very calculated control of the near side arm. Which led to the escape and prevented the follow up pass attempt by Burns. Edit: Jeez He did it like 3 times in a row. Love it.

[@SwampCityRadio1974]

Damn! So he did.

[@apez660]

This is a great comment! Thanks for pointing that out!

[@diegonovoa4951]

That's a simple move my guy. Stop the arm that gets the under hook.

[@app369]

Good call

[@chijaytavaakachija1513]

Ramone Kenney yea, I thought he’d be there for a while. That was a really quick recovery.

[@KM-dr1ij]

Anyone got this recommended after Gilbert wrecked woodley

[@Rocatagliata25]

After seing bunch of videos of Durinho dropping Woodley twice

[@אביעדדוד-ז2כ]

Man... what is Dilbert ?! Never heared of him. Who the fuck watch this kind of videos... it is looks like man & man love...( did we forgotten that we have porn for that ?)

[@art-io5oi]

Yo

[@beenrue5672]

- wrecked Woodley? :D you mean the fight that went to decision? Yep , wrecked him so bad that it went five 5 minute rounds

[@davidgandaho6832]

Burns vs usman

[@Тожемнестример]

True sportsmanship! Resbect for both fighters!

[@izzate7]

Burns had some good defense for Gary’s entries, but the depth of Gary’s game carried him to the finish.

[@interestedparty7523]

Confident to just chill with his back exposed.

[@izzate7]

Rick James yep. And wait for a deep entry into the legs.

[@serious_g]

@@interestedparty7523 you really need confidence in your back defence

[@JG-uw3ch]

I don’t know if depth of game is the right way to put it. He has a depth of heel hooks for sure. But it’s not like he had a ton of different moves outside of heel hooks.

[@izzate7]

@@JG-uw3ch We must not be talking about the same Garry Tonon.

[@BlockheadJiujitsu]

Garry's style is so unusual, he has done so much for BJJ to educate everyone on this level of efficiency and flow at the highest level (along with his coach).

[@drewytruebeast]

Man that match was awesome I love both their styles so much

[@daduhafanai8273]

Damn what a match

[@aliraid9248]

A part of me is sad that we can't watch this level of BJJ against usman's wrestling

[@ahmadshokry5945]

Me too, but he's next for Usman probably

[@samholden1339]

We will cuz he's next in line as soon as he's cleared medically

[@PennyGeist]

Usman is probably out for 6 months 😭

[@FinessedAnalyzer]

Heragoth That’s not how it works, the precaution is six months but if he’s medically cleared by doctors then he can return before that date. It’s always been that way fighters are ruled out

[@FinessedAnalyzer]

@Heragoth Which why I stated that "if he's medically cleared by doctors then he can before that date".

[@romdzs5444]

One of my favourite matches ever. Beautiful scrambles, takedown, sweeps and sub attempts, had it all

[@brandonmcninja]

Tonon is one of the most entertaining guys in grappling / mma. Gilbert is always fun to watch too.

[@cubillo77]

One of the best Polaris matches ever, both athletes are amazingly technical and physical savages. Pleasure on my eyes to see this.

[@rconn4501]

[@hudayfaulichki4987]

Don Binkley its not about joints, it may have his influence in it, but i think the most important thing is the angle.

[@ddg-fi5bp]

@@prybarknives Nah, it is just garry's style to take risks; garry knows what his doing when it comes to leglocks. Gilbert is crafty but his leg game is levels below DDS's

[@jimhaney6384]

Good match and great sportsmanship. Always more enjoyable when the fighters show respect to one another and the fans.

[@skubz81]

Excellent match! Love submission only, I'm sick of all this point fighting.

[@Mdv1002]

He tapped right away to avoid any risk of injury. No reasons to compromise his mma career for this..

[@MarkusAnthony88]

Really fun to watch Burns catch wrestling style against such an amazing BJJ opponent. And it's so entertaining that Tonon used a catch wrestling hold against Burns for the win. What a great match.

[@XIANBLACK]

That final transition to heel hook reminds me of the transitions Eddie Bravo did vs that last Gracie bout. He did the same thing a million times to grab Gracie's leg. AMAZING match!!!!!! So entertaining

[@TheCrownDontMove]

Im blown away

[@vlahell]

When I started to see jiu jitsu I got impressed by the high level of skills, First with the Gracies, then I discover the Master of Leg-locks Mazakasu Imanari and I went WOW, then I discover Shinya Aoki, and It was like HELL NO, later I checked Eddy Bravo and I was SHIIIT, later I saw videos from Marcelo García and it was like, Another World!

[@CoryColt]

Big fan of Tonon, not so much of this top-down view they're trying this Polaris. I feel like you can't really see what's happening in some of these positions from this view.

[@piotrdygas5345]

When they passing the guard its good view other than That ist useless

[@AEB-tb3om]

I was yelling at the screen every time they did that overhead view. Terrible.

[@kerrybrennan7099]

Maybe as picture in picture

[@sovannpen]

Great view of the backstep to the sankaku at the end though.

[@c.hillmusictv]

Amazing match

[@MrScalpelStudio]

I have no idea what the Juijitsu rules are , but i enjoyed this one 👏

[@crisd117]

That leg entry from the dog fight half guard is so sick!

[@JESUSCHRISTISLORD911]

If this was points, Gilbert had 180 points. Yet Tonin never disappoints. Got in Gilbert’s head early on. Once I saw that the match was over. Great match by superb student athletes.

[@aaronnaylor59]

He should have knew that was coming. That position just obviously favored Gary and his rolls. Unless he thought he would get out of it easily . Still good match up. Two great competitors. 🤙🏽

[@froz3ncat]

Yeah that position is literally what he was hunting for the whole match, Durinho helped him lock it in by sitting on Tonon's calf.

[@kallepikku4991]

Garry Tonon's submission wrestling style looks every time closer and closer to old Catch wrestlers. The guy is re-living history!

[@kallepikku4991]

@Kirk Landau Well, if you look at old Jiu-jitsu wrestlers at grappling competitions, or even not that old, say, in 1990s, you'd see mostly slow progression between positions from Guard to Sidemount to Mount etc. Establishing and, especially, holding position were top priorities. Not to mention, leg locks were considered "a dirty trick", and often criticized. Also, people spent very little or no time learning any kind of takedowns, let alone elevated throws. Stand-up wrestling was mostly bodylock based, if even that. Pulling guard was modus operandi in most competitions. Finally, to catch a submission: you would work slowly, in incremental steps towards your final submission hold. Movement was slow, very meticulously slow. Catch wrestlers on the other hand were known for their fluent transitions between positions, not giving too much prominence to any one position (expect Backmount/Back Riding). The goal was fluency of transitions, not to keep any one position. I.e. if the opponent were to struggle, the main counter was to transition to another position, instead of trying to wrestle to keep the current one. Thus you'd see a lot more "scrambles" taking place in old CACC matches than in BJJ matches. Guard passing was of low priority, because for most Catch wrestlers being in the Guard (or Body-Scissors as they call it) was just another opportunity to go for leg locks. It was like the opponent was 'giving a free leg to the slaughter'. Catch wrestlers were also as versatile in their stand-up attacks (takedowns/throws/stand-up submissions) as Jiu-jitsu wrestlers were in their Guard work. The only time Catch wrestlers fell on their butt voluntarily was to go for leg locks; not for the Guard work itself. Finally, to catch a submission: chain wrestling was the name of the game. You would chain your attacks in sequence (sometimes referred to as "Lock Flow", although not all the steps in the sequence were locks per se; often also included controlling dominance), and move with speed; hoping to out-speed the opponent's defensive maneuvers. Non of the attacks were thought to be match finishers by themselves, but the point was to out-speed your opponent, so that with each successive attack, you are a few milliseconds further ahead of your opponent, until it was too late for him to defend a fully secured submission hold.

[@SzuesS]

Not a fan of the camera work

[@irbadltald2532]

[@adaptiveagile]

Agree. Not a good angle for intricacies of grappling.

[@DanielKursch]

And pass guard over and over

[@recipoldinasty]

meesert tonon also does mma, hes 5-0 on one fc, here he was 4-0 i think maybe less

[@Fiteclipz]

Trains more in mma and unlike in mma and wrestling takedowns aren’t as big of a deal so guys don’t put too much emphasis on defending takedowns I’m obviously generalizing pretty hard but if I wanted to go in to a detail I would have to go in to detail with pretty much every bjj player and wrestler’s style
