For context, this kid has only started BJJ in 2020 it seems.
The IBJJF threw a shitfit when Travis Stevens got his BJJ black belt in 18 months, plus I can guarantee you there would be some belt divas at his BJJ academy who would lose their shit if a kid like this got his purple/brown belt after 1 or 2 years, even if he was an Olympian.
Some people still think you get a BJJ belt partly based on how much money you give a gym over time, not just how skilled you are.
I agree. BUT if you have more than a decade of judo and strong newaza i dont see why you cant grade up faster, it just shouldnt be expected. .
He's not a kid. He's An Olympic Judoka. You don't wanna grip fighting with Judoka. You'll lose
If you're a black belt judoka you're at the very least a blue belt. There's no conspiracy here lol
Yeah, it's weird. Also he's like 38 lmao but yeah. Strong high school wrestler and Olympic judoka as the video and several comments here state. I feel like with that much background the year and a half blue belt wait shouldn't really apply to him and others in his position if he can qualify for a Blue off the bat and probably even test for a Purple within at least 3-6 months, because realistically a life-long judoka and wrestler (he's done both forever), let alone one who competed on an Olympic level, is probably better qualified and more of a general threat than most BJJ grapplers at their own game. Like, peak Travis Stevens, for example, against, say, Gordon Ryan...I'd put my money on the Olympian who's dedicated his life to the grind and really knows how to end matches quick.
@@napalminthemorning8309 I agree on everything but for the last part on Gordon, he's basically an Olympian at BJJ. Travis would destroy him standing, but I am 99% sure Gordon would win anyway.
Respect to the first guy for standing up with him and trying
My new Judo hero. So talented. So young and an Olympian!
Judoka's have a crazy pace and amazing trows! 🙏🥋🇯🇵⛩️
No,elite judoka do.
these guys were two times his size especially the first guy he was huge so good job for all the grapplers
Congrats. Great throws, love to see good Judo used in BJJ tournaments. I just wish there was no commentary by the woman.
They need to ban spectators from talking. It's distracting and almost cheating for some . At my match my opponents coach would not shut up
@@protectork9831 Actually it's great that your opponents coach don't shut up. You know what they want the person to do so you do the opposite.
@@GMunoz-oj5zb it has its pros and cons
yaaaAASHHOOO!! nice!
I loved that woman's commentaries, she seems to know a lot about both judo and bjj
I love the BJJ vs Judo argument/comparison. Each has its spot and are two specializations that are part of the same whole. Jiu-Jitsu. To say one is better than the other is completely dependent on the setting as well as the practitioner. Also every dog has his day. Winning doesn’t mean one is better than the other.
This is way too high level of a Judoka to compare oneself into.
I do BJJ and judo. One thing I hate about BJJ with a passion is pulling guard. He wrestled? Pull guard. He did judo? Pull guard. Fellow BJJ guy? Fuck it don’t risk it pull guard. Jesus stand up grappling is half the equation stop neglecting it.
Why? If you are competing and you can do it then you use whatever you can do/ If you don't like it, then compete in judo or wrestling. It's simple.
Then learn to pass the guard and btw just take them down before they pull guard
@@GMunoz-oj5zb Because stand up is dying in BJJ.
If things don't change there will be no stand up at all in the next decade in BJJ. Between 2015 and 2017 in the mundials adult BB divisions, only 17% of the matches had takedowns or takedown attempts.
Even John Danaher has said this trend is worrying. Takedowns are a dying art in bjj, and once they go bjj moves even more in to its own little world, getting further removed from being a functional fighting system or an S tier system for MMA.
@@humann5682 I know man but those are the rules of the sport and as you can see there are many organizations with different rules so they may change eventually
It's a lot more then half if you want it to save your life one day in the real world.
Love to see how Judokas submit bjj dudes haha
If this kid bought more of the gym gi’s, paid extra for membership, attended classes, went to team dinners, and also said Oss after every sentence his Professor said he probably would have gotten purple belt faster.
Jokes aside,
High level Judokas are beasts
All these pure BJJ guys just pull guard
@Calub Park Well but since it's not a street fight and it's a competition that is allowed. Period.
@Calub Park judo guys are the only dudes I know who are salty about another sport being better than theirs. 😩
@@PerfectPanels9 and the video you watched is a dude beating all these BJJ dudes 😥😥😥
@@Gates2Aion you mean *judo Olympian beating *blue belts?😂 It's the equivalent to knocking out a decent amateur while you've been pro fighting for years.😭
from all the youtube i watch of I only watched two videos where the Bjj dude is owning the Judo dude, the rest where all flawless victories from judo dudes. imaged pulling guard in a street fight, your head will end up like a watermelon with salt 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
The woman in the background is most likely one of his biggest supporters and contributors through his judo and BJJ journey. I would only advise one to be respectful towards her.
No I don’t know them.
she's a 5th deg Judo black belt, and I love the way she coaches
For all realism BJJ is Judo let’s not get it twisted Jigoro Kano Designed Newaza BJJ just refined it but it’s all the same just tweaked I
Am not sure why BJJ gives no points for Throws when a throw takes a lot more technical prowness to
Pull off especially against the stiffness of these BJJ players stiffness in Judo means death.
I absolutely agree I am a brown belt in judo and I can typically throw most of the people in my class on a good day in Randori but across town in the bjj gym i have a hard time getting a clean throw. I’m just working on how to sumi gaeshi a single leg at this point.
@@Luccimatic you can throw judo players but not bjj guys? Why do you think that is?
@@jackjack4412 there are several reasons. Bjj people tend to become what i lovingly refer to as “the brick”. they are super defensive and usually have a lot of basic defense skills worked out pretty quickly in white belt. they pull moves you forgot about or just weren’t taught because of judo’s strict rule set as of late. Judo discourages being super defensive and even penalizes you if you are not trying to throw and just stiff arm your opponent, so we tend to play around with footwork more and try to counter each others throw attempts. Defense of any hard resistance comes in short bursts in judo between throws. Stalling on your feet at all is frowned upon. So I guess Pair that with someone that has wrestling background or a good sense of leg grabs and I’ll typically find myself posturing up too high and leaving my legs open for all those wonderful takedowns judo doesn’t do anymore.
That or they just pull guard…
@@Luccimatic it's true, but my super defensive stalling on the ground for judo is very useful in BJJ!
@@Luccimaticbro bjj guys are so easy to throw bro what are you trying to throw them with
Use your fitness..... use your FIT-nessss...... use your FIIIITNESS 🥴
Those takedowns are beautiful!
Judo rules!
Did I misunderstand something? olympian judoka competes in BLUE belt category in BJJ? That’s quite a praise for BJJ’s ground game, I think. Anyways, he has a great base to become a BJJ black belt someday.
Well, that young man is newbie in BJJ, technically that young man is a Purple or Brownbelt at least.
There's a big difference between 'olympian' and 'olympic medalist'. Still, you make a fair point.
@@anarchic_ramblings of course :-) but even those chosen to the national teams are pretty damn tough.
@@m5a1stuart83
His newaza is not that good... Not yet
He didn't dominate these guys on the ground he dominated them at the stand up game.
@@Midnitedreary88 He didn't dominate on the ground lol. He didn't concede a point!
Oh hell naw this is not fair. This is scaring me going into my first big tournament. Imagine they match a baby blue belt like me up against a Judoka olympian...im chopped liver.
With that much grappling experience you should not need that much coaching in the blue belt division lol. Also I can't stop laughing at how that guy is allowed to compete with a banana gi
the strength of judo consists in the control of the figth both standing to trow down and on the floor ; is hard to contol a judoka , bjj dont care about being whith the back on the floor but remember that judo specializes in inmovilizathion and control and in floor that´s a great stronghold
ah, Judo people! I agree with you, so difficult to catch, but it's still fun to try, at the academy I always enjoy sparring with them, but I have to admit that sometimes I have the feeling of "shit, why am I even trying!", still love the spar and the banter and I always learn something new!
This is amazing! ❤️ Thanks for sharing
And ignorants people still think that judo does not have Grappling…🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
That guy is a beast. Needs a purple belt!
Apparently he only started BJJ in 2020.
Nahhhh it wasn't like he was doing anything crazy off his back when he was there. his judo carried him throughout this tournament but glad to see him out there learning a new discipline
@@Udai_taxim he did not have to spend too much on his back because he ends on top in the first place. That's what you guys don't understand about wrestling/judo.
BJJ is Judo...so....
I think it’s good for the sport of BJJ for these guys to start at blue belt…so what if they trained in another sport. Somebody always has an advantage and if this guy or these guys do well at local tournaments I say bravo. It balances out.
They must compete at blue belt if they are blackbelts in judo.
That man technically a Purple Belt or Brownbelt not a Bluebelt Level.
Could be a 4 stripe blue
The first blue belt opponent also was not blue belt anylonger I would argue.
Any of you guys know the name of the second judo takedown?
Referees in BJJ have no clue what a throw is. No clue.
This is what gets me about grappling but l can’t see a way around it …it’s that it’s supposed to be a fighting art yet at the start particularly in BJJ contests they literally head bump each other in the bent double posistion …in a real fight this is the punch and kick range and no one in their right mind would happily stay there for more than a split second …at least in Judo they are more erect and when they close they take away the space …yeah l know it’s a sport and l don’t offer any alternatives but it does kinda grate on me ….
Delpopolo is much faster than all of his opponents.
Is it me or does the guy with the yellow Gi with "Be water my friend" appear really stiff?
Drill more guard passing He would be perfect
I would change title to "retired judo Olympian",, you won't see a current Judo Olympian doing BJJ, ever. Only a retired one, that goes for MMA or any other combat sport, they're not allowed under IJF rulings. And to be honest your not going to stand much chance against even a retired Olympic Judoka cos of the speed as they're used to quick transition, all that Judoka has to do is do a little swotting up to BJJ rules and regs and it's game over even against black belts. He's an ex Olympian, and he's not even big leagues in an Olympic sense, I think current olympic Judokas from different countries (as there is a huge difference in application) should let BJJ have a go even using BJJ rules, you would be more than shocked, the Japanese with their perfect grace, you don't see it coming, or the Georgians with their animalistic grappling then there is the Koreans with their unorthadoxed entries or the French with their power. I do both but I have to be honest, there isn't a BJJ in the world that would be a match for a current Olympian, trust me, they're frightening and they're better than anyone in that situation, a bit like being a top boxer in your club and the next fight is Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali in their prime or the gypsy king now, just being honest, they're scary technicians, I started BJJ for a rest but love it, and I'm getting far less injuries, I did judo for over 25yrs and fought a Judoka from UK that had been retired for 30 yrs, I thought I was good but this guy ate me for breakfast, 10k lighter, a lot older, less muscle but didn't matter, he was on another level even though he'd never won a gold, it's the speed and expertise of these guys, it's awe inspiring tbh, every BJJ player would have a better arsenal if they had judo first, do it the other way round and you will find it very difficult to do judo cos of the in built fighting mentality already picked up, it's a lot easier to go from judo to BJJ, (and let's be honest, it's the old traditional judo newaza, no matter what the Gracie's say, they picked up and refined BJJ from an old Judoka visiting who taught them. Anyway I digress, good video.
He’s still on the Olympic team, he is NOT retired at all
@@marcostagaban I know, dude typed this while thing for no reason.
Cool essay. Didn't read it.
He's right though.
IJF rules don't alow an international fighter to fight competitions in an other sport... Don't ask me why but it's the case.
For having experienced this first hand, and from all aforementioned countries (except Korea) I totally agree
Now that I watched this. It was nice the Jakoda let the kid due his thing.
We should do away with mats …that would give more credence to the great judo throws seen here ….
What a great idea let's throw safety out the window and let everyone get smashed to pieces
in bjj you get a blue belt (rare occasion purple) for putting time on mat. this is bjj rule and not Nik's fault that nobody in his division/rank can't even stand on their feet or apply any of the shit they have learned to get their blue belt.
Probably most bjj black belts today couldn:t get near him either on his feet.
Judo blackbelt must compete at blue belt.
You can compete in any division regardless of your belt. You just need your coach to sign off.
is this an absolute division? Nick looks so much smaller than his opponent
oh nm i missed the first second of the video lol
Classic soccer mom
That soccer mom knows
More about jiu-jitsu than you. She's also an Olympian.
A judo Olympian is majorly sandbagging competing with blue belts. Purple belts would be much fairer and competitions usually have guidelines for martial artists from other disciplines competing based on years of training.
Aren't the bjj'ers who always say a judo black belt roughly equals a bjj blue belt ? 🙄
Outstanding.
Why shout instructions from the side? You really think they're listening?
Sandbagger
Anyone know what the move is called about 10 seconds in?
Tomoe Nage, very nearly a Yoko Tomoe Nage. He gets a near textbook perfect Yoko Tomoe Nage at about 3:46 against the second opponent.
Who’s the judo guy???
He really didn't practice his newaza often. Mostly a stand up grappler
And he still beat all these "ground grappling specialists" in a BJJ comp so what does that tell you.
Heck, the kid didn't drop a point vs bigger heavier "ground grappling specialists" and he beat them all with his stand up.
@@humann5682 lol, is there a stick you have to pick with bjj practitioners? Lol, you come across as angry in most of your comments.
@@odinanithegreat7544 well wrestlers and judokas can have an easier time learning BJJ and competing in BJJ competitions.
I think the BJJ guy is a also a judoka since he use well a lot of judo techniques a traditional BJJ guy would keep his butt to the floor
I’m a pure bjj guy and I go for takedowns
Big surprise!
Guy is a sandbagger....clearly, his skills are WAY above blue belt
I totally agree. Should at least be in the purple belt division.
He is not that far above blue he had problems with the second guy if he was that good should have submitted him in a couple min
A athlete can't give himself a purple belt. So...sandbaggers are the coaches. Change my mind. By the way I don't think he looks like a seasoned purple either, so....its not a horrible sandbagging IMHO.
There is some slight baggery going on here, but not much as others have said. And I would know because I'm the biggest sandbagger of them all🙂
Yeah he did, I've seen videos of him before, he was smooth in them.. He's just doggin it here.
BJJ should be called Brazilian sport ground fighting. Emphasis on the "sport". I was in a melee with 7 people, one guy took another guy to the ground, was on top and promptly got soccer kicked in the face by someone still standing straight unconcious. He lay there while everyone else kept fighting for another few minutes. Be as salty as you want, but if you go to the ground, and there's no mat or referee, you are in trouble.
You can literally say that about anything lol like don't use boxing because someone could come up behind you and hit you. hell don't even use a gun someone may come up from behind and rap a bat around your head no martial art works when there are more than one person except of course aikido
Nick was a strong judoka but I don't think he ever medaled.. More impressive was the weight difference and did any BJJ guy get even a single point on him?
The Tomoe Nage. The best throw to be used against BJJers who bend too much.
It's so grubby compared to judo.
Judo Olympian ?!!!!!!!!! my son is 11 years old got judo blue belt & he also bjj white belt , he is very fast & strong than all belts in bjj , what is the name of this judo olympian ?!!!!!!!!!!
Nick Delpopolo its in the title. A real high quality Judo player. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Delpopolo
Typical judo guy.. he’s built like a solid tank lol
I had to turn off the volume. I could not stand the commentary
Nice skills on the kid. Obnoxious mother.
the 3 strip blue in the 86kg has the worst fucking shot lol and kind of sucks really badly.
This girls voice is ruining the video.
So is the coach with his g a y inflections
He seams much smaller than 86
He competes in 73 in Judo
He should be purple or at least brown belt
he couldnt even finish that armbar. lol no. he can throw no doubt. but be realistic.
He would get murdered at brown
LUTOU COMO UM JUDOCA, NA ROXA , MARROM E PRETA ACHO QUE NÃO VAI LEVAR TANTA VANTAGEM SE NAO APRENDER A LUTAR JIU JITSU
well, he was very much a blue belt in that vid, that was two years ago, so by now he's probably a good purple, and as he is evolving in jiujitsu, he's also evolving in Judo, so don't worry, he will be fine
Olympian and blue belt should not be in the same sentence.....
i have a judo olympian at my academy who is a blue belt (we all know he should be promoted)
Different sports....
@@Todo_fighting
exactly,
His standup was superior but his ground game was in the domain of a blue belt.
Older guy should have pulled guard and stop standing up.
Commentary is terrible 😅
A judo Olympian would go play against blue belts how is that fair come on he should play it again maybe purple minimum but I believe he should have played against black belts
He's a bjj blue belt. He's competing in bjj, at blue belt. Judging by his performance he was not mismatched. And by the way, going to the Olympics isn't _that_ big a deal. He's not a top-level competitor. Most judo lovers have never heard of him unless they're specifically following American judo. (No disrespect to him.)
@@anarchic_ramblings are you high or drunk making Olympics isn't a big deal
continental quotas (13 men and 12 women for Europe, 12 of each gender for Africa, 10 men and 11 women for Pan America, 10 of each gender for Asia, and 5 of each gender for Oceania are also available.
@@laithalmasri6985 Yes, but American judo sucks. If he was Japanese he'd be just another guy who does judo (again, no disrespect intended). In any case, this is a BJJ tournament, not a judo tournament. He's a blue belt. If you think it would be fair for him to be in a black belt tournament then you're effectively saying he's a black belt. You are not his coach. You don't get to make that decision. And judging by his performance here he is not black belt level by a million miles. Nevertheless, I'm sure he will progress very quickly.
@@anarchic_ramblings the whole continent of Asia only have 10 players that qualify per wight division he must top of Japan or Asia to qualify
@@anarchic_ramblings You do realize that a country like Japan is the pinnacle of judo ? If it was the standard, most judokas worldwide would never make it to the Olympics.
Olympic judoka? Sure doesn't look like it.
And what, pray tell might you think an Olympic Judoka looks like?
@@chrismaks2518 A competent grappler.
I am gonna sound like a hater but not remotely
Impressive for an Olympian. Put a wrestling olympian in there and see what happens. This is pretty similar to what you see when a all state high school wrestler does bjj at a tournament.
Having fought many wrestlers in BJJ tournaments I can say they have their strengths and weaknesses.....like any one else.
Ok…a wrestling Olympian would take the guy down and lay on him until the match ended. Cool…
idk it depends on how they transition to the gi, just cuz ur an wrestling olympian doesn't mean ur dominating
He isn't Olympian
73kg 2016 Olympics men division.
He finished 7th at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics Games, but sure "he isn't Olympian"
Wrong.
As long you qualified and competed at the Olympics you earn the right to be called an Olympian. Becoming an Olympian is not easy feat as one has to compete actively at international tournaments for years against other elite judokas and accumulate enough points to qualify for the Olympics.
It takes years of devotion and training to get to the Olympics, just remember jujitsu rules are different to judo, that may be why it doesn't seem like he's dominating
I was waiting for mom to yell ground and pound.
That's his wife lol
Judo rules!
Wow amazing. I love how beautiful the judo throws looks. Next week I will be starting my first judo class and I am a bit nervous. I practice bjj and I am a one stripe white belt, so pretty new, but judo has something really appealing to me and I always wanted to try it, who knows, maybe later on my focus would shift towards judo.
that solid pass guard and fast subission should be at east purple belt above.
I am pretty sure he would be tough against amy color of belt
Nick's has a strong newaza background. Good to see him competing in BJJ now🤠
Beautiful judo both standup and ground.
I went to one of his judo seminars. Really chill and even got in a round of randori.Let me play around a little, but it just feels like he knows every step you're gonna take before you take it.
Everybody loves learning until BJJ learns from another grappling art, then they slap on a new name to the technique and call it Bjj. Just to make sure you don’t need to learn it from another grappling art.
This is very very true
Yeah for example the “Reverse Kimura” when in actuality it’s just a Russian 2 on 1 from Closed Guard. So many BJJ people were butt hurt when I kept telling them that that was a wrestling move smh
Have you ever considered the possibility of diferent martial arts comming up with similar technics?@@AusarisTV
Do you think she’s still yelling “use your fitness”
probably
The worst part of these matches is that woman's voice screeching comments. My ears are bloody now.
fr like she knows what shes sayin lol
American professional judoka, Olympic level, fights in blue belts (fourth division, below only beginners), with amateur jitzers whose training experience is 2-3 years. At a small tournament of an unknown federation, and at the same time he fumbles for a long time, and even cannot finish some. Are you seriously?
Some serious jealousy there. Can't you just enjoy the show and stfu ?
He's probably been entered into whatever category his coach has told him to enter.
If he's a BJJ blue belt, then he is in the correct category.
I agree that he is a much higher standard than his opponents, but that's not his fault.
@@endurojimmy3109 No one says anything about this. The problem is with commentators who don’t understand the BJJ division system
Hahahaha i love both judo and BJJ but Judo dudes MUST chill! Theres nooooo reason to be as deffensive of Judo as many of you are. There are great judokas and great BJJ practicioners, no need to compare the sports this way. Be open minded about incorporating BJJ techniques in judo when possible and be open to judo techniques in Jiu Jitsu. I love Judo but i HATE the superiority complex judo guys have on the internet. CHILL.
Good stand up, very athletic, blue belt level ground game IMO. This is bjj not judo - congrats to him and to his opponents for getting on the mats!!!
Hence why he is a blue belt...
And yet he won. IN YOUR FACE!
Nick has black belt level newaza...as evidenced by the ease of his entries into juji-gatame, passing and pinning almost at will. The defensive skill needs no commentary. BJJ (save for the high level) guys don't understand judo newaza....and they sure as heck don't understand pressure. You just got a tutorial in judo base on the ground. Next up...purple belts. My favorite is "Judo has ground game?" LOL.
@@chrismaks2518 Basically Japanese Judo
Kosen Judo?
olympic judoka from the "US"
the skill disparity between a medaled Olympian and someone who just competed is bigger than a white belt and a black belt
I hate when other people try to coach and drown out the actual coach
Nick's fighting at open weight? I guess hes probably around 180lbs.
It would be a lot better without the high pitched, shrill commentator that thinks they know they’re talking about or that it makes a difference
How much did the first guy weigh? He seemed a lot heavier.
Hahaha… a guy with 15-20 years experience beats guys with two years experience. Real awesome.
What? You can get a judo black belt in like 3 years if you're quick
Where gives a bjj blue belt in 2 years? Salty bjj ball sniffer detected
@@mattvanderschyff4632 But to be an olympian you'll have to start early. There are the 3 year black belt and the 15 year started when they were 5 olympians
@@mattvanderschyff4632 3 years for black if you are quick... maybe... but not for being on the podium at the Pan American Championships for FIVE consecutive year... highly unlikely
@@mattvanderschyff4632 depends on the country, but definitely not 3 years in Poland. You have to pass the white belt exam first after attending around 50 classes. After another 50 classes you can get promoted to yellow, but it doesnt mean you will get that belt. After that you have to compete to get your belts faster but sometimes you have to wait 6 months between each promotion, so in general - you see people getting black belt after practicing judo for around 8-10 years. And to get that you have to compete to get the points or attend randori classes.
I am whitebelt after 1 year of training (because I am shit) but as you can see - sensei is not giving belts like candies to everyone
Honestly, the second guy wasn't too bad.
Thanks Mama Delpopolo for the quality camera work.
Is that who the annoying lady is? 😂
Judo is a beast if this kid adds some wrestling/ catch wrestling you better watch out
He was a good high school wrestler.
Catch wrestling is garbage
That was a sweet yoko tomoe nage.
don't wear a red belt to BJJ 🤣
In a street fight the supposed Olympic judo player would drop the jujisu guy on his head and fight over. Especially if on concrete. Then call ambulance
These fights are non sensical
Wrestler will shoot double leg and drop judoka on his had / boxer would drop down judoka with one left hook / thai boxer would fucking break judoka with few leg punches / street bandit would make some new holes in judokas ass with a knife.
What is your point, bro?
BJJ is awesome sport, just... okay.
Notice how the Olympian Judoka's belt magically changed colors from blue? 😂
it's because both wears black gi. In judo if both judokas wears white gi, so over the regular belt one of them wears blue or red belt. It's common even on international level. Don't look for any mystery in it.
YEP
Shows you how dominant Judo is over BJJ. Delpopolo would throw around BJJ world elite black belts with ease and pound them in his weight class, no comparison with which art is superior.
Any highly ranked 190 pound black belt would shit on him brutally once it went to the ground.. that’s the thing about bjj, you can get thrown and the match is still on lol. like another comment said, blue belt is a low rank and he shouldn’t be competing in the division given his previous grappling experience
@@graysonchavis these guys are so happy about a judo Olympian struggling to beat some blue belts.
@@PerfectPanels9 his ground techniques were pretty rough lol he struggled to finish people that are much less experienced and athletic then him
Yo if he is struggling to beat guys on his own level than he can’t beat elite bjj guys even if he takes them down he would still get taped out
@@candicebriddell5259 he would eat all pure BJJ guys in his weight class in grappling. BJJ is pathetic in standup fighting, this is an Olympian at standup grappling fighting. What do you think happens when one of these BJJ people get thrown hard?
Why in blue 🔵 minimum in purple the base for his game is to strong... I'm a black belt in judo and starter BJJ in tournaments form purple and I was a national level in judo 🤣
I decided to end the video because the spectators kept heckling. Shame
Throw an uppercut!!!!
Brown belt level
