Great match. Fantastic to see Lachlan's guard retention system in action. Before he got caught it looked like it was working very well. Gave him multiple opportunities to enter the legs
That’s the thing about guard retention. You can have the best guard retention but the problem is being on bottom. Because maybe the first guard pass won’t go thru but the 5th 6th or 7th will go thru as you just saw. It was only a matter of time before Kade passed his guard.
But he was aggressive, Kade had some close calls but found his way out.... And a think giles got maybe tired or lazy fustrate and Kade is pure caos if you have a fail a hole in your defence he will finish.
Jiu Jitsu turned in to a game more then an efficient martial art. Imagine a guy on the floor spinning his ass 360 degrees in a real fight. He would be kicked like a soccer ball..
@lukerodriguez7908 and then the guy kicking will get heel hooked lol. It's a literal sport now, of course people are going to play it like a sport. The guard just happens to be the most played thing in this sport.
@@adambygodcotterman6983 yeah probably lol i live in Rio bro, we literally breathe Jiu Jitsu here since the 50's. And i grew up watching a trully efficient martial art turn in to a guy spinning his ass 360 degrees, like a dog on the floor. Try to do this in a street fight, but before, tell your family to notify me where the funeral is gonna be. I will send a wreath.
@@lukerodriguez7908 can you imagine sitting down and spinning in a street fight. I can’t. Obviously nobody’s crazily inverting into the legs during a street fight or something. Jiu jitsu has always been a gentleman agreement
@@lukerodriguez7908 yes but somehow they would still manage to wrap you up like a pretzel and destroy all of your joints in under 15 seconds. Don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s just a game.

Ele deve ter enxergado essa porra bem antes só esperou o tempo certo.
I believe the reason Lachlan wasn't able to finish before Kade started fighting the hands was because of the grip he took before the inversion at 6:09.The grip with the bottom arm on the ankle/calf is good but the one with the top arm on the outside of the knee is what I think cost him the match. If you look at 0.25 speed during 6:14-6:15 you can see that before Lachlan could connect his hands he needed to clear it from the bottom of Kade's knee.If the grip at 6:09 was on the inside of Kade's knee instead of the outside he could connect them while in backside 50/50 making the backstep impossible. Would love to hear some thoughts on this
About 3:10 giles almost get the camera and his face look like he was totally in control seems like would a matter off time but kade kepping scaping and that armbar so fast.
He actually got some good entry but kade made his way out, but giles was been aggressive all the time, giles always go for the finish thats what made him one off the best fighter to watch
@futbolusa until the finish kade was most off the time scaping off the leg entanglement some got really close but he was able to escape and find a hole in giles mistake and submitted, but he was the one on the defense most off time
Play it back at 0.25x speed. You’ll see that there was only one semi-hard contact (and this is a contact sport) to the head as Ruotolo was attempting to secure the top leg over Giles’ head. Everything else was just a fight between Giles shoving off the leg and Ruotolo attempting to replace it.
I believe Kade notice the arm bar option at 8:06 when Giles had his left arm fully extended. Kade enters back into the same position with Giles but this time the right arm is up and capitalizes there.
there are just sooo many great techniques that disappear in bjj by allowing guard pulls. how could the rules be changed so there is both a great standup and ground game? a tighter connection between judo and bjj that might be more functional in self defense and also more fun to watch. maybe give more points to the first takedown of a match so there would be an incentive to start on the feet but stay on the ground for submissions?
ADCC rules are not exact BJJ rules, these are all sports. The competitors at these high level events would annihilate the general population, everyone but legit MMA fighters. Giles knew his best bet was to avoid a standing match with young, strong Kade. It's just playing to a rule set if you want to win.
@@jonasjorgensen8759 These athletes know how to do takedowns but they also know when fighting for it against each other is a waste of energy. Giles knew it and opted for his leg attack game.

Not for nothing, but he did deck Lachlan in the face a few times which helped get the armbar, just saying. Highly doubt that would play out the same way if they met again.
It’s easier to enter into k guard/inversions. Giles got to the legs and even snagged a heel hook from inverting. Just got caught with that armbar, super exciting match though.

Kinda looks like Lachan took a heel to the face to soften him up for the armbar.

The jump back arm bar finish is beyond world class, it is exceptional.
Simple and fast execution. His finishing insting is in different level.
Armbar, no world class,

Who cares.

My thoughts are you took the inversion up the you know what.
Jiu jitsu is beautiful
Kade Ruotolo is so fast. His stabby style makes it hard to tell when he's gonna dive for the sub 100%
So are heel blows to the face legal? Giles was more concerned wth those than the actual arm bar.
Maybe he shouldn't lay on his back from the start like a little bitch
tf? if he didnt defend with his arm his elbow would've snapped faster than he could tap lol
That guard retention was 👌👌
And did nothing with it, retaining guard for 15min should never win you the match

This sport is so ridiculously dangerous haha. The amount of times KR bones and joints were compromised is crazy
Ikr dude was spinning around like wild, he could've so easily got his heel or knee in a compromised position during the spin and torn his ACL
Need to see that armbar instructional: "just kick him on the face repeatedly"
Giles himself said he felt no kick, the camera angle is misleading.
Exactly kkkkkkk

Just the first one was a little bit harder but nothing to much, some guys are much more aggressive in colar tiers really slapping the opponent.
