That arm bar escape had me cringing with one eye closed. Crazy respect for Nicky Rod.
With a normal, same-size, same strength guy, it would have been hairy; but with another elite who is 50lb heavier and much stronger.... and Nicky Rod's able to pull his twisted arm out of the situation & went on to immediately use that arm to tap the 280lb big guy the next 30 seconds... wow!
ehh those brothers escape every armbar ever lewl, they will have toasted shoulders when they grow old
The Rods have crazy ass arm bar defense.
Those boys are flexible af
true but tbh Dan made some terrible mistakes on the arm bar as well. He tried to secure the arm bar with his hands instead of his legs. Isolate the should, stop the guy from moving than crank. Dan basically did the opposite. Allowing Nick to even move a inch is enough and he did nothing to prevent that. TBH, this might be because dan is so used to facing guys who are so much smaller that they tap much easier he might not have learned the proper mechanics.
Looks like the escape may have gotten to him too
@@stuff4232 well he is just a junior after all.
@@stuff4232100%. He's surprisingly not very technical. Shows how far size can take you, and why weight classes are a thing.
Back to juniors for Big Dan.
Ye lost again in the fighting pit. Once a junior always a junior
I know a lot of people think he's crazy these days, but I really enjoy Eddie's commentary. He genuinely gets excited & appreciates the skill of what's happening...and he's a funny guy.
who thinks he is crazy? Sheeps? He is just questioning everything he is far from crazy he has his business life, family
life,friends all sorted out that aint crazy its actually oposit 😂
@@denisla3546 Haha, well I know a lot of people were questioning him when he was going hard with flat-earth theory. It didn't bother me any, but I trained there for a good number of years so I know what kind of person he is. I've trained at some really nice gyms (for years at a time), and 10th Planet HQ was honestly the best time for me.
Crazy like a fox.
@@johnb4467I got in an argument with Bryce Mitchell on instagram over flat earth, honestly made him more endearing to me😂
@@-MRN-hahah I see you! Lil Callen reference 🤙🏼 I miss the old fight companions with Eddie and Bryan
Someone's gotta teach Big Dan how to be 6'7 300lbs
Certainly needs to stop sitting down.
New wave my ass. Junior lost again in the fighting pit 😂
Nicky’s a beast and actually a really cool and humble dude believe it or not lol I’ve met and rolled with him down here in Hawaii during one of his seminars and he’s a chill dude and even bought all of us beers after a sesh lol.
Did he now
Man he was getting his face crunched that whole time he really grinded this one our it's extremely impressive he was able to pull this off.
Is Nicky Rod in the room with us right now? @@wes0906
The fact UFC Fight Pass have posted this match makes me think they’re pushing Gordon for the Nicky Rod match
They gotta marinate that shit, and they're masters at it. It won't be happening soon, but it definitely will at some point in time again.
Nicky just took another L this weekend
Nicky Rod never doubted Nick
NickyRod really wants to beat Gordon
I think that last match...he did!
@@VinchenzoChello no
Wow….I never would have guessed!
Gordon doesn’t want anything to do with Nicky anymore. Scared to loose in general but terrified of loosing to him specifically.
@@generallobster already beat him in less than a minute.
Big Dan stared Nicky down hard before the match only to butt scoot right away when it started ....
He deserved to lose just for that. 50lb weight advantage and you pull guard immediately??? Shameful.
He also looked comatose the entire time. No energy, no commitment to anything he attempted (which wasn't much). Just completely uninvested and content to lose.
Just seems like he thought he could easily sweep Nicky like Gordan sweeps everyone. He wanted to out class and lost.
But hey you gotta try right? Only up from here. @@DR-jz1es
The dude is huge and just concedes top position instead of using his physical advantages
Bro Big dan looks like the final boss in every game… Nicky rod went out there and played it very patient and smart
30 years of sport they still haven’t figured out preventing stalling
Crazy how the commentators were all counting Nicky rod out at first..
They are big dickriders of Danaher and Gordon, ridiculous
definitely dont think they were this is adcc silver vs trials winner
You can tell Big Dan took the loss pretty hard. He'll be back stronger 👊
its like losing to ur little brother
He knows gordon is gonna roast him
Danaher already demoted him
@@Bernedhot😂
@@BernedhotDid he really 😅??
Big Dan looked like he was about to cry after losing both of those armbars.
he was def confused on how nicky was able to pull that shit off lol
Manlets seethe at Big Dan's Big Heart
@@dp9629 that second one was insane.
He’s quite honestly the weakest mentally of everyone in the sport
How you gonna be Dan's size and still be afraid of wrestling...
I don't think that's it, but probably after this, he will start working on it if he isn't already. He has a very good guard, but Nicky made it look easy to pass. I think for 30k on the line, Big Dan could have brought the heat a big more. He was as chilled as ever, but with that kind of dough on the line, get mad!!
Manlets seethe at Big Dan's guard skills
I know it is his style, but feels weird to see such a big guy pulling guard straight away in every single fight from second 1.
I prefer watching other styles like Diogo Reis or Mica Galvao.
Lmao you guys and your wrestling. It never works against a dialed in practitioner
@@anorginalname805just did
That arm bar escape was wild!...we gotta call Nicky mister fantastic
How does Nicky Rod not tap to that armbar?! That’s insane!! 😮😮😮
ego mainly, definitely damaged that arm on that one
@@MrNormallannah it looked worse than it actually was. And he damaged it that “badly” he wouldn’t have been able to pull off that rear necked choke
That was awesome
I expected the domination and still left dragging my jaw along the floor. The Rodriguez brothers are the most exciting thing in jiujitsu today, change my mind.
Gordon Ryan tops them, but there is no question whether he'll win or not. The Rods are exciting because we just don't know but they come out and put on a show.
Mica Galvao and all the AOJ guys are probably the best athletes
I love B team and Gordon bc they actually make you wana watch jiu jitsu matches lmao
9:45 A great shot of an "I should not be on the mat with this man" face.
Nicky Rod you got heart lad. Give the man a bonus that was gnarly
That pass at 5:21 seemed weirdly easy. Dan didn't seem to expect it, but Nicky made it look inevitable.
Dam was definitely getting squeezed that’s why when someone starts putting strong leverage on you it’s gonna look like ur confused
Leg pummel
Michael chiesa and Kenny Florian have finished fusing into the ultimate post fighter interviewer- Michenny Floriesa
WOW HOLY SHIT!
THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!! My arm hurts just from watching
That was special! Love this ruleset
This was as intense as seeing a knock out because of the arm tweaking. Much respect to both athletes. I am not going back to BJJ.. I'm already 2 injured
I’m the same , I miss it , but not feeling fragile all the time ….
Just take it slowly when rolling...even if you learn 10 instead of 100 you still show up, learn more, get better every day. Maybe not as much as others but still
I had to fold at 1 stripe blue also, I am disappointed but I felt like paper before I quit. I'll go box instead
thanks for the status update on your plans
I just started again at 36 and it is for sure tough not to get injured. My new goal is to consciously use as little athleticism as possible and just focus on the techniques and movements. It is fun.
Sorry but big Dan pulling guard is lame
he is kinda lame overall for a grappler his size
Manlets seethe at Big Dan's Gentle Art
I thought his arm was going to be torn into two pieces.
Rod won who gives a fuck
If only Big Dan was more savage😅
Awsome job.
WOW 😮 AMAZING FINISH NICK JUST WOW THAT ARM BAR DEFENSE IS PRIME 👌🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽💪🏽
Is that Volk in the background with the white long sleeve on?
Yes
Nicky been coming up hard, he has turned into a beast, and his speed is his Ace in the hole. As far as gear, lol😂 yeah you taking the poke, but so is everyone else at that level, especially Gordon, so fkm
Amazing
That was fun. Nice match gentlemen.
Needs to be Combat Jiu jitsu with the slaps , love that
Great match!!!
Nick is a monster but man I think big Dan is going to be a bad match up for him in a couple years. He has a similar style to gordon just way bigger
Great match!
Big dan shouldnt be hard on himself, he did well for a junior member of the squad
I dont like OT rules. The hardest part of Jiujitsu is getting to those positions. I know they dont want matches to go on forever, but its not really a better way to determine who is a better grappler.
No, I completely disagree.
Yeah I always skip overtimes and consider the match a draw. 10 minutes of stalling to get to overtime, this ruleset blows hard
@@lostexodusid imagine if you saw what Helio was doing back in the day, you would call it stalling too.
@@jakeh2049 obviously you easily find a counterargument in hyperboles. An average black belt match in IBJJF worlds is boring af too. There should be a way to reward the active and exciting grapplers and I don't think overtimes are doing that.
@@lostexodus I get it but my point is that being overly worried about being “boring” is a good way to turn bjj into just another sport, or worse some kind of entertainment-focused thing.
Bjj is fundamentally supposed to be about the art of self-defence, period. In this case the winner not only survived but managed almost all of the offence against a much larger opponent, which is exactly what the art is about. If you want entertainment you can watch WWE, I’m ok with bjj remaining niche and “boring”.
This is just my opinion.
👏👏👏👏👏 amazing
great fight
Exactly Like Gordon Over Craig In the Over Time
Format … Arm Gets Wrecked BUT Still Strangles and Chokes With It to get the Utterly Dramatic Come From Behind Win 🏆 💐
Nicky’s guard passing is insane
Impressive!
Wow! Great match. Nicky Rod is good!
Really can learn a lot from the little guys…
I love that he obviously studied and trained his little brother Jay rod’s wrong side hitch hiker turn out arm bar escape technique just in case he ever faced off with a bigger fish.
ittle guys? dude is 6 3" 230
@@iainsprigman7614 little according to tinder preferences loooool
why is eddie the only commentator making any sense…
Still hard to believe that Michael Chiesa fought at 155.
Legend
Crazy
Having Eddie Bravo commentary is clutch
Wow! That was crazy!!! Have to give credit where credit is due. Nicky Rod is a bad man!
Can Somebody explain the Overtime Rules or Post a Link?
i would love to know his gear regimen!
Yes sir W callout
Two warriors. Respect. Congrats to Nicky, he deserved it.
I was watching Nick roll with Craig Jones on youtube the other day and compared to Jones his technique still looks like a very athletic blue belt, but I respect him very much since he is beating alot of high level black belts and I'm sure he'd kick my ass.
Nah black belt. He's so fundamentally good with the explosiveness it's a nightmare. Nicky just knows how to play the game but now he's starting to sub people instead of wrestle fking in the older days.
Ufff that arm bended a few extra degrees
🔥🔥🔥
I am no expert in Bjj but looking at dan's size, he should be trying to be on top and put pressure instead of pulling guard. Just my thought. Great win for Nicky!
Look at the way Dan was eyeing Nicky up before the match, then pulled guard and gets bullied. LOL
Saw the title of this video and I literally belted out: UuUUuUHhhUHUHUHUHUHUhUUuuuu this is so gooooood"
Love seeing arrogant Big Dan lose, even better when he gets tapped. They should post Victor Hugo vs Big Danny
Manlets seethe at Big Dan learning from his losses and coming back stronger. Hes only 20 hes still growing. How does that make you feel?
@@ryneredington hes 22 and hes older than me, so you can keep raging and glazing him all you want. Dont get too upset bud
@@Hitler-hitter Manlet Rage. Hows the air down there? Does it smell like Nephilim Nuts?
50lbs advantage is mad
F*cking Amazing!
I’ve seen Nicky rod in person and thought he was an oddly large human…big Dans size is scary.
love jiujitsu as a martial art, but i agree with aljo - nicky rod is in top position the whole match, that should be a win - why make a world champion risk his arm when he dominated the match already.
Just love seeing big dan getting Ls, such a weirdo
NICKY ROD, always good to hear Eddie Bravo talking about what he loves
Michael Chiesa's little hands always crack me up
Man big Dan is a really tough opponent . He’s a giant, super strong and has great technique
I want to see Rod and Meregali next!!!
please upload craig jones fighr video
I love Eddie Bravo’s commentary.
Would have love seeing the big man work some top game! Better luck next time.
How does he get his arms around
That was fucking awesome
the passing was tight
I love how he starts drama between him and Gordon. It just makes people want to see the match so much more now.
Except that Gordon is 2-0 against him. He holds the cards for this
30k in less than 20 min… niiiice
When does the punching start?
I didn’t want him to win going into this, after the second arm bar escape I pumped my fist alone for Nicky way to go
Madness
🔥
Nicky Rod been looking real good. Has been fucking cooking people.
god damn! arm bar escape by Nicky Rod
way to go Nicky Rod! too bad it was only a junior you beat ;)
This is the first time ever I cheered for Nicky Rod.
Dan clearly tried to reserve himself for OT which is half the problem with EBI OT but its nice to see OT stallers still lose lol
Respect. Bet that arm hurts
So if he finishes the armbar and breaks something is it over according to the rules or would Nicky be able to come back for another try?
So is it just jujitsu? This is awesome
Like a buff Myles jury 😂 or James Franco
Good match nick
The fact that someone can't compete at the highest level with little time on jiu jitsu shows you how easy is to improve. Anybody is top now days in jj
“I mean Big Dan could play defensive end for the buffalo bills right now” 😂 Eddies commentary is so funny
I can’t wait to see Gordon’s response on IG 😂😂😂
