Rafael Mendes vs Gianni Grippo | IBJJF Europeans 2014 | Art of Jiu Jitsu Academy

[@swoopingeagle3942]

"You know what to do Gianni,"

[@AJHurley]

I wonder what the name of the guy who's fighting Rafa Mendes is... Oh it's Gianni.

[@GGKazmenkov]

Is it yet a meme?

[@DanilloLyniker]

2:52 "he's never gonna pass" AHAM, falou isso só pro Rafael PASSADOR Mendes hahahhaha

[@NalbertWattam]

Rafael FAZ TUDO Mendes huahuahaua Passa, faz guarda, berimbola e o que mais precisar

[@paulo3613]

5:00 Hello darness my old friend!!

[@ulyssesgarcia497]

Gianni literally just received his black belt. He just went the distance with one of the best. Imagine what this kid is gonna be like in a month, 6 months, a year etc etc? Especially with MG as the professor.

[@nikcapone9215]

Ulysses Garcia HAVE YOU SEEN HIM NOW?

[@fightinginsight]

@@nikcapone9215 lol

[@raffygarcia8561]

Rafa Mendes knows the ins and outs of the De La Riva guard game. It would be very hard to beat him at that.

[@DanilloLyniker]

O footwork do Rafael é imoral.

[@stevenhan1811]

I watch this once every few months. At 3:54 Rafa yanks the spider grip out so hard Gianni is just stunned for a few seconds and doesn't know what to do with his left hand. Maybe his hand hurt really bad?

[@valdemarsimoes3456]

Sou fã dos irmãos Mendes são top Oss

[@ewertonveras6480]

Rafael Mendes é muito top Depois de fazer os pontos poderia apenas ter amarrado a luta, mas ao invés disso ele foi pra cima, ficou em pé e etc...

[@jonah12705]

I think this is Gianni's first big match after receiving his Black Belt from Marcelo Garcia...Just the beginning

[@brunofugitivo]

It seems that Rafa is a huge block of concrete. Independently of what Gianni was trying to do, Rafa didn´t move. Rafa was not even close to lose his basis.

[@fagnerdeandrade1421]

Luta muito dura, mas o Mendes é osso.😎

[@fusilism]

The coach is making me nervous

[@kuriouskoopatroopa3129]

8:28 White recovers to top HQ

[@akaalbi]

Great fight !

[@jehkjshrfk]

Started getting good at the end there

[@marcoscarneiro8464]

karai, to ouvindo a voz do mestre Wilson no finalzin da luta

[@1234kingconan]

I can’t help but root for Gianni, as much of a Mendes bros fan I am. I hope he does really well.

[@vinithomasi]

well... had to mute this one... =)

[@Pandusauce]

Nice!

[@SquaredbyX]

1:46 What kind of coach wants you to watch your opponent take you down.

[@cindyvincenzo2852]

SquaredbyX watch the takedown means be careful of the takedown. Common sense

[@bear540540]

ur idiot lol

[@roo4051]

SquaredbyX you’re slow lol

[@pedroassis8951]

igual eu na jiu jikam

[@a-aaassaa]

Why the end rafael's belt is white?

[@cindyvincenzo2852]

Cauã Póvoa because the red material came off, from wear and tear

[@dennysisti_bjj]

The white bar on the black belt means that you are an active competitor, although a lot of competitors still wear the Red Bar because that's traditional.

[@alfiesolomon3531]

He came after passing Gianni's guard

[@luizitomassa5820]

Rafa brinca

[@44dogma]

Do they do steroid tests for these? Cuz I saw this one dude on fb who was on roids competing in these

[@FFmaxxx]

They do for top guys

[@Timrath]

"Do this, Gianni! Do that, Gianni! Don't do this, Gianni! Don't let him do that, Gianni!" I know next to nothing about this sport, so I can't help but wonder: do these interjections actually help, or are they just a nuisance to the fighter?

[@eldisperez]

Timrath as a competitor, that doesnt help at all lol

[@NalbertWattam]

@@eldisperez Unless it's Gui Mendes telling you what to do, Rafael usually follow his guides and it works

[@flipao1]

@@NalbertWattam Yeah, but Gui only say 2-3 things (and useful), not like the "Johnny" guy who is telling the fighter only crap :P

[@fightinginsight]

Till this very day gianni still doesnt know what to do..

[@guerenato]

Black Belt amarrando faixa pro lado errado no final da luta?

[@rafaelmohamed8287]

Deixa de frescura porra

[@felipevitor3187]

Pega a faixa e joga no lixo, porra baita luta dos caras digna de um Jiu jitsu técnico e o cara vem me falar de porra de faixa, vtnc

[@pauloj973]

Kkkk tá errada não brother

[@jorgegonzaloalfaro5378]

I’m surprised that Marcelo’s is trying to change Gianni’s grips, He’s a grown ass black belt. How are you going to instruct him to change to the pants grip for better control in the middle of a world class fight, I’m sure he’s gripping where he gets the most control!

[@yuri.sanktz.olivenbaum]

BJJ!

[@royburge3611]

It’s hard to watch black belts / high level grapplers butt flop like that

[@fightinginsight]

White belt coach 😝

[@amazonasoratrix4435]

Gianni gripe ...

[@o.ebbers2881]

Ah-ha

The level of GUI mendes coaching highly exceeds Marcelo’s

[@GuitarristaBla]

Gianni has the worst coach ever...

[@alfiesolomon3531]

Aka Marcelo Garcia

[@hollowjack8711]

Those trainers should removed and let fighters do their work on their own
