SMASHING Opponent With Ground & Pound | Full Fight w/ My Commentary

[@GKJusticar55]

Props to Tommy for stepping up honestly.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

100%

[@WhaleRider-bi8yf]

He learned some valuable lessons 🤣

[@sergiobatista2272]

The karate guy has some fighting skills, but lacks some strategy tips... One of his biggest mistakes was not controlling his territory in the arena space, so he got cornered most of the time. Most fighters allways forget to control the territory. Congratulations for your easy victory, Gabriel...you show him that being older doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

This was utilizing ground and pound with just 30 seconds trained during the whole 10 week fight camp. Next time I'm making this a regular element of training. Imagine how much better I'll be.

[@oooBASTIooo]

The way it looked, you trained ground fighting 30 seconds longer than your opponent.

[@TsabaronSecron]

In my humble opinion it really did look like you dominated in that fight. At no more did I think you were losing at all. I dont think your opponent took you down at all? Mean while you had him on the ground all throughout the match.

[@joebagtas9617]

Any chance we'll get one more MMA rules fight from you? It was fun going crazy in the chat during this fight

[@kevinEijs]

Hi Gabriel, during your fight i heard Bas Rutten commenting on the ground and pound "one knee to the ground rule". He mentioned that its forbidden to press one knee to the ground while punching. I didnt know it was a rule , did you? And thank u so much for the inspiration! Keep the great videos coming!!!🤗

[@gluehuffer6955]

As someone said: Just to let you know for the future, commentary was saying having a knee on the ground while hitting is illegal. Knee On the belly is fine though, something to consider. Fantastic performance though! Loved that left hook you spun him with. I imagine it's a shot that's going to be big for you considering that a lot of opponents might not be used to defending them well.

[@ckiddadahairninja4377]

Bruh ... Listen. I'm 40 years old and just started fighting and I honestly am in better shape than I was at 20. When I heard this dude was calling you old....I couldn't wait to watch the fight to see how you were gonna do and man you didn't disappoint. You schooled this young boy and hopefully taught his goofy ass a lesson. Don't ever underestimate your opponent.... This was the epitome of that lesson. You are inspiration brother!

[@Explorshon123]

I mean, you make a good point but I think his opponent deserves more respect than calling him goofy, yes he underestimated Gabriel but the man is still a warrior with guts and heart. Maybe he was using the "old man" insults as a way of trying to get into Gabriel's head before the fight began, psychological warfare, but yeah, as an older guy myself I see where you are coming from. I don't know if you watch streetbeefs on youtube, but there are a couple of older guys there who fight, one of them is 51 or so, you should check em out.

Coach Gabriel congratulations!!! I knew you would take it, but gee, I didn't know it was going to be so one-sided. When they roll the tale of the tape and showed fight stats I knew that kid's team made a mistake allowing him to take this fight with you. Oh well, it was good practice for you to get acclimated to the rule set. All in all karate combat is a wonderful promotion and a breath of fresh air from these disrespectful MMA organizations.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I guess they figured the risk was worth it because a victory would have been a massive jump for him.

[@Miguel_GM]

10:35 The official commentators of the event pointed out that is not allowed to put your knee on the ground while utilizing ground and pound. Great fight though, and congrats!! Hope to see you soon on the pit, cage, octagon or whatev :D

Yes. There are some rule clarifications needed. For me and the ref. Some ground and pound mistakes. And some mistakes for stopping my legal knees.

Grappling, Throws, Ground & Pound showing up their supremacy even in Karate Combat. Even tho the grappling is more limited than in the UFC it still managed to.

I'm sorry you had personal stuff going on during the lead up to this fight. I actually found your channel during while I was training for my first amateur fight back in April at an ultra MMA event in the UK, where the promotion pays for 8 weeks training and we raise money for charity My step dad passed away during those 8 weeks. His funeral was actually 2 days before the weigh in , I couldn't go and visit him in the chapel of rest before that because I had Covid And I remember watching some of your videos about your first fight and stuff they really helped at the time , I didn't even touch the more technical breakdowns you have done until after I just wanted to say thank you and as a fan we appreciate all the knowledge we get from your channel Keep smiling mate

Great fight Gabriel, made me proud to be Canadian (especially having Georges as a commentator to your fight; 2 favorite fighters/ legends!). I do remember BTW either Georges or Bas commenting that while you ground 'n' pound, you need to ensure your knees are not on the ground because that makes them illegal ( knee on belly is fine thought)... You might want to check up with refs and rule set on this also for clarification. Sorry to hear you're going throught rough times, wish I could be of assistance! Stay safe, train smart, hope to see you fight for the title in 2023.

Something else to try that I got from youtube channel hard2hurt is throwing a double right straight, you can catch people all the time in sparring with that because sometimes people throw double jabs but barely anyone throws double crosses.

[@oooBASTIooo]

Nice fight! You were definitely in control throughout. In my experience Karate guys often lack lateral and head movement. Probably because there isn't really much full contact training that includes punches to the head. I have to say, I am not a big fan of these hybrid rules, like 5 seconds on the ground. Plus, these angular "walls" are odd to me. I would expect that they can trip you quite easily when you move backwards. It's all a bit weird. But I guess the shape of the ring is what many organisations use at the moment to set themselves apart from others..
