Craig Jones vs Matheus Lutes was a cracker!

👍 First thing I wanted to know before even watching

[@henrydeutsch5130]

I don't think Matheus is fooling anyone, he's clearly stalling the entire time because he doesn't think he's the same caliber grappler as Craig, and he'd be right.

[@Precisionmagert]

I definitely agree. Craig's z guard and guard retention is top-notch. Matheus could definitely engaged alot more

[@JusJusJusJus]

Who’s he trying to fool? He’s here to WIN you clown no one goes into a match trying to lose. Why would he engage in what EVERYONE knows is Craig’s bread and butter? You casuals have never competed for anything worth shit so your line of thinking makes sense.

[@nathangilbert1344]

If you're better, you should be able to tap if you're close to the same, lotsa decisions.

[@rockade2408]

Craig does nothing same position gay jitsu

[@AriPaul]

I didn't see much stalling. Matheus was mostly pushing forward, engaging with limbs. His pass and sub from top attempts were non-committal for sure, but I don't think you say he wasn't engaging.

The "F**k Craig Jones" on Craig's rashguard is gold 😂

Craig Jones was defending the championship here; the video title didn't give away whether he successfully defended the title or not, but maybe we should not use this phrase anymore. Thanks for feedback.

[@Ray-wp4ji]

I always find it very weird to see such good grapplers having such a hard time to het someone to the ground. Put a High level wrestler or judoka in there and they take them down easy. So why not just pull guard, we wanna see some grappling.

That’s not a close match. It’s stalling.

@@adamkhan4451 Mathues was certainly trying his best to pass, again very difficult to pass Jones especially when sweating. If you think he was stalling what do you suggest? Run forward?

They should make jujitsu more entertaining and competitive by penalizing disengaging. It should be a penalty for 10 disengages

[@kawhileonard9082]

I didnt understand why Craig won this?

[@phoenixamaranth]

They scored the fight 3 five minute rounds. Craig lost the first, won the second due to close heel hook finish, and the 3rd he was never put into a threat by Lutes as Lutes never aggressively attempted to pass or go for anything. The third round was close but point given to Craig since he went for another leg entanglement. So 2-1 on points, but only because Lutes just didn't do enough in that last 5 minutes.

We didn't - Craig was the defending champ (he's got the title belt over his shoulder). He was defending his title.

[@camaranpayne5355]

They wouldn't stand a chance for Gordon Ryan 😂

[@Steven-rp8zo]

20 minutes of screwing around in the guard and not ever advancing is why this will never grow a mainstream fan base. At least under the current rule set. Most people are not going to pay big bucks to see this crap, you can watch it for free every day in your local BJJ gym.

[@petsuper5636]

This guard pulls are absolutely useless. Bjj ruleset should be more oriented towards mma not just sport bjj. Instead of improving wrestling skills we have stupid Z guard and lasso guard, spider guard and other useless shit. Thats why bjj is becoming less and less prominent in mma.

[@djdos83]
