Could see Duarte start to fade in the middle of the match and Meregali really took over. Super impressive

[@joaoluizsn]

5 minutes in and he was already breathing through his mouth, that`s tough

[@picklepete8723]

He quit before the sub, look how easily he gave up Mount and the head and arm.. looks like he was looking for a way out.

[@jwomackandcheese73]

Meregali has motor, especially with his gi experience. He doesn't have to worry about grips, so he isn't slowed down as much. He can use his pace to an even greater advantage.

[@anderandersson5229]

Wow super match!! 😊

[@chefntoast]

He seemed to have feinted his own gas tank out

[@askq247]

[@thetaxiucla]

To see Duarte just stick his arm up like that to give up the triangle when he’s getting dished out some of the same crushing strength he always delivers is just absolutely amazing!!

[@myoung3232]

The beginning of this match brought me right back to the start of Gordon/Andre in last year's ADCC final. While the Atos fighter came out tense, jumpy, and looking to intimidate with cheap slaps to the head, the New Wave fighter was calm as could be. You know a Danaher student when you see one.

[@REXAZOR]

oh shaddup meregali was a 4x GI world champion long before danaher lmao. 'U know a danaher student when you see one' all his students proceed to lose bar gordon ryan and 2 world class black belts in bodoni and meregali who were already amazing before XD. One day Kade ruotolo will join danaher and u will praise danaher for making him to no doubt lmao

[@estudante4015]

meregalli was already one of the greatest in jiu jitsu, don't pretend that danaher created him.

[@0b3ryn29]

@@estudante4015 he had no stand-up before danaher. He was not competing in nogi. Meregali choosing to train under danaher already proves danaher is a great coach, if not, he would've went elsewhere. New wave has very few students and no academies. They dont actively recruit. Their students chose them.

[@poncejerry22]

@@REXAZOR you do realize meregali was a GI monster on his own. But please tell me what big names, tournaments he was competing in and winning before joining danaher in no gi. His no gi style is 100% different than his gi style. He’s literally using danahers system that we see Gordon use all the time. Stop being a hater. Meregali was a beast in the GI. Now he’s becoming equally as dominant in no gi. Go cry somewhere else 😂😂

[@dhimankalita1690]

Danaher nut cult alert

[@bmiliten]

It seems like Duarte underestimated Meregalis stand up/hand fighting and expected to take him down when he wanted Which then led to him getting fatigued His game plan seemed bizarre with him dropping back on a leg when he was on top in the beginning

[@mauriciommx]

Agreed. Lots of forecasts, from famous black belts here in Brazil, underestimating Meregali. Mostly because he talks 100 and delivers 1000. Way ahead of his game. Nothing is granted against Alemão! Maybe a tap out is likely 😂

[@af4396]

That, my friend, is the obsession with leg locks and ankles backfiring in your face, instead of getting a good position. There is a difference between being a master of BJJ, and being a trend player.

[@yanisapostat]

this is why I never attack leglock from the top because if you failed you just give a free sweep .

[@marek-3114]

honestly his mechanics and frames where so shit that there was no threat - he pulled to an outside ashi which literally gives a leg drag if you dont have your knee and a cross lat frame in front of the person on top. he missed everything. i think if he would have pulled/rolled inside the legs to an cross ashi (maybe with a victory roll as meregali was attacking the turtle) he could have initiated a much better scramble to end up on top or in an back take .but this was just not strategically smart. not saying i am better just thinking in a logical tactical aspect. @@af4396

[@patricksullivan7492]

@@mauriciommxis “talks 100, delivers 1000” a common Brazilian phrase or is it something you just say? Either way I like it!

[@bestfriend5600]

Man big thanks for posting this fight so quickly. Osss

[@thetaxiucla]

Wow to see Duarte succumb like that is just surreal. Certainly, the Ruotolo brothers would have absolutely no hope against Meregali the way things have changed.

[@faizmahd8069]

If you think because Kaynan lost, it means Ruotolos also will, then you’re delusional.

[@UnsilencedEra]

​@@faizmahd8069I mean, he already beat Tye in ADCC 2022 suggesting that in 2022 he could beat him. He has improved his no gi since then as indicated by this match. Given those two facts, it would suggest that Tye has even less of a chance of winning now than in 2022. Since the probability of him winning in 2022 was technically zero (since they competed once and he lost), I'm struggling to see where the delusion is

[@jimmyjam86]

@@UnsilencedEra doesn't know how statistics work at all

[@dannyinformal]

Ruotolos have slightly higher than 0%, but definitely lower than 1% chance to win from Meregali. No dishespectch to the Ruotolos, but Meregali is just on another level in every layer; skill, brains, physical prowess and dedication.

[@UnsilencedEra]

@@jimmyjam86 I understand that probability is a long form statistic, meaning if you wanted to produce an accurate probability, you need multiple data points. For example, Tye vs Nick competing 1000 times. It's obvious that we don't have that. The only data we have is one match. Anyone that knows anything about statistics knows that if you evaluate one data point that has two possible outcomes(i.e. a coin flip) the probability of one of the outcomes occurring is either 1 or it is 0. If you flip a coin 1 time and it hits heads, the probability you can calculate of it hitting heads is 1. Period. If you want a legitimate estimate (i.e. closer to .5) you need multiple trials. We don't have multiple trials for these two competing, so the only probability we can calculate from actual data is 0, obviously. The point of this is actually that OP was using the term chance in a colloquial sense and using hyperbole to express his point. He wasn't referring to some technically precise definition of how to calculate chance. But faiz either deliberately ignored this reality or lacked to social cues to realize that that is how people communicate in casual environments. So my discussion on this was deliberately obtuse in order to express why it's silly to judge OPs comment as if it was some assertion supported by data in a scientific journal. You seemingly have missed this as well.

[@mauriciommx]

Meregali was not only superior technically. Using the time and energy correctly was a huge part of this victory. He is clearly more intelligent, and probably that's why he was better strategically. They will have to wait for him to retire to win again.

[@kaibe5241]

Kaynan also clearly gave up - that guard pass was so quick and easy, and he literally gave him the arm.

[@Spiritof_76]

Saying someone is clearly more intelligent is rude AF. Cardio and muscle fatigue were factors, he is training with the right people, etc.

He would've also tapped to a wrist lock at that point. Once you're exhausted and have no energy to defend, everything works against you.

[@1millioncicades183]

What is so crazy regarding arm triangle ? It is probably the most effective submission from the mount. Plus, he was controlling Kaynan hips very well, just a great execution.

[@DonDio6]

Meregali vs Gordon before EOY. Mark my words.

[@joaoluizsn]

Nicholas recently stated that Gordon is the number 1 on noGI by far and he doesn't want to be forever number 2, therefore he will be focusing on gi, even reverting his decision of not competing on IBJJF gi events

[@golddee2040]

He used the new finish for the head and arm triangle. Nice one. Extremely hard to get out of that one.

[@FormidableOne]

Meregali is just one of those guys who knows how to hunt for that Win

[@tedvanantwerpii880]

Nothing more exciting than watching two guys handfight for most of the match. Jiu jitsu NEEDS to implement something like the shot clock in wrestling. If you are not being offensive (standing, top, bottom; doesn't matter) you should be penalized. That is the only way to get rid of the snooze fests

[@anonymousreviewer169]

what would be the equivalent of the shot clock purpose in BJJ? "Being offensive" is vague.

[@tedvanantwerpii880]

You are not wrong...Off the top of my head, I would say you would have to advance position; pass guard, sweep, get a takedown, lock-in a deep submission...something like that @@anonymousreviewer169
