Was this the best match of 2022? Let us know below
No. Not even top 100
Nope
No
No. Jones/Meregali was way better, at least the first half.
Do you think there’s anything Tye could have done, mechanically, to finish the choke? Please ask the guys!
Announcers are about to bust every time Ruotolo moves.
Probably had to do with being the only person attacking 😂😂😂
been waiting for this match to come on youtube. one of the best adcc matches this year
This really was a very good match. Watching it again it was much closer than I originally thought. Tye did a better job, especially towards the end, of controlling the mat space; but Meregali had more "near takedowns" and forced scrambles on/off the ground.
Meregali sobressaiu, Tye só teve 1 lance bom na luta , que foi o triângulo de mão
Thanks man I appreciate the praise😁
Man just watching this match hurts my neck.
8:15 " What movement from Tye Ruotolo...the score is still Tye" lol ace wordplay right there
😂
The escape from the Darce was LEGENDARY
I was surprised that Tye didn't turn into him trying to hook a leg or come on top. He turned away which opened the choke it seemed. Strange to see from a darce specialist.
It shook Nicholas😅😅😅😅
@@Grandroborox he cant, the entire time, Nicholas hugs the leg, which prevents leg hook and Tye from turning his body, the posturing from Nicholas is enough for survival breathing (neck straighten, trapped shoulder push, elbow push, and lie on his back on top of opponent's body should be enough to create air space ), Tye can not risk more energy wasted squeezing, he could gas out if he keep on squeezing .
from my experience, the key of countering the Darce is not escaping but surviving
@@tradewalker8187 interesting, thanks.
I have seen this already. It was a great match.
Tye has got heart man
Grande Luta, 2 grandes atletas, concordo com a vitória do Nicolas, mas não acharia anormal a vitória ficar do lado do Tye, fez um grande trabalho.
sin dudas fue de Meregali, fue 3 veces a la espalda, tiene mas derribos a su favor, tye no tuvo muchas oportunidades de finalizacion, aunque sin duda su anaconda choke fue la mas clara, pero de nuevo hay que tomar en cuenta el escape de esa finalización por parte de meregali, el domino mas, la diferencia de peso le jugo a su favor, sin dudas tye lo hizo muy bien, pero meregali se lo llevo indiscutiblemente si analizamos estos factores... Oss 🔥🔥
Perhaps , weight is doing a lot ....
Que luta show..!!
Quick reminder: Meregali had never competed in no gi until roughly 7 months before this fight. Bonkers. Danaher stated that in an interview. He says Meregali met him on early 2022 and said he wanted to be the champion both at the ADCC and BJJ World Championship. Danaher then told him “Sure, let’s work things out for you to compete at high level at the ADCC from 2024 onward.” To what Meregali replied: “Nope, we are going to fight for both titles this year.” (2022)
Danaher told he was absolutely impressed by Meregali’s mindset and work-ethic.
Now that Meregali is team Danaher he will be back as a whole different beast!
He already was when that match happened.
Good match!🔥💯
The most underrated match of the entire tournament. David vs Goliath I love Tye he always fights-up in competition. Tye is the man to beat Gordon Ryan. Promise.
Se fosse o Mica ganhava dele.
he is too small, he cant out strength them
that darce choke was TIGHT, i dont know how he survived that
that s a world class. oss
Darce is a weak sub against bigger Guys, it’s not like a arm bar where 100% of body is against a elbow joint… meragali just needs to splay the shoulder and fight the sprawl…. It’s not like arm bar where your entire body is fighting the neck …. It’s like trying to darce dean lister it’s not gonna happen
Good humble those kids ossss we all need it
Brasiiiiiiiiillllllll👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 pra mim esse Nicholas maragalli é melhor que o mica no wrestling..virei fã... tranquilo....técnico... sinceramente quando começou a luta achei que fosse um italiano...😅 Quando vi a bandeira do Brasil.... fiquei feliz'síssimo , esses rotuoulos são muito MARRENTOS..adorei
He's Italian...
@@banmadabon Hahahaahahahahahahaha good joke...
Tye would have completed that double leg in overtime if the weight was even remotely close. Nick just too big
The size difference didn’t seem to phase Tye at all. Seemed to get slippery at that stage more than anything
If they were same size, it would have been a wrap in 5 to 10 minutes
Dangggg 😅 🔥 this was intense AF!
Nuhtbusso?
Commentators are such cheerleaders...Tye this, Tye that...but Meregali won.
The had more submission attempts than meregali. I’m a big meregali fan but tye was the one going for the kill. Kade and tye don’t play for points they got the kill. Tell I’m lying!!!!1
@@deonmcgehee agreed
hi. is there a CatchWrestling practioners that competed in ADCC competions specially this 2022 ADCC World championships? thank you..
Josh Barnett competed around 2000.
What a banger this was
Metegali humilde !
Were the commentators paid for every time they said “Tye Ruotolo”? Only reluctantly said Meregali. God forbid they should actually say something about technique or tactics.
What are you saying? Tye will tap your ass out at will!
Every jiu jitsu competitor NEEDS to learn a sweep single. A wrestling takedown that i have used to great success because it leads to very little risk and can be set up from so many different angles.
Isn't that the move Hinger is all about? I'd assume Tye knows it.
I love sweep singles, but it's not the best move for MMA or BJJ. With out shoes, it becomes much harder to hold on to. Especially in these long grueling matches, there is so much sweat running down the leg, it's very hard to hold on to. When I wrestled, sweep single was my go to move. In MMA and BJJ, I moved to double legs and traditional head inside single legs.
They need to learn basic stance and setups.
& Tye says he wants a match with Gordon
he did this match with two blown knees and within 45 mins of two exhausting matches with Pedro and Pena. I don't think he beats Gordon at this point in his career but just adding context. He looked fantastic here against Nicholas, the sub was razor close, and the match could've gone either way.
yeah i also think he needs to put on another 30 pounds of muscle at least before having a chance against Gordon. But not everybody wants to go that road.
@@peerrucke2599 most definitely he would benefit from being in the 200+ lbs first
Why wouldn't he? It's about competing and getting better. Thank God he doesn't think like you. Lol
@@WhtMike2006 Gordon will leg lock him and blow his knees even furthy
I came to this match with fresh perspective, only knew Ruotolos name but watching silhouettes and body language, I could tell Nicholas was going to win after the Uchi Mata. Just a longer, stronger guy who earned it. Crowd , commentator and clout bias should not factor into the decisions, and it takes nothing away from just how good Tye is; I just knew Nicholas was the better man, this day
Can’t believe he got out of that darce
Nicolas The best
Could the commentators be any more biased??
Boa nicolas!
I think sub attempts should score higher on the judges cards to be fair, tye was never really in danger in this match, but that darce could easily have hit
Cuando entrena con su hermano es más entretenido la verdad
Como que meregali ganhou essa luta nao entendi nada.
Uchi Mata @ 2:42 ?
Tye a beast…even smaller he could outpace meregalli. Crazy explosivness and trickies to
Also love how so many of you throw out the road accusation so easily and baselessly. Belfort aside, has Ryan ever been tested or failed a test?? He's hardly the only grappler who is jacked like that. He's hardly the only ATHLETE to be jacked like that.
I mean, Ryan said he does steroids. All of the ADCC guys do steroids.
@americandissident9062 .... That post was 9 months ago. He didn't admit that he uses PEDs until early in the summer.
Quem foi Meregali
Tye fought so much harder in the Absolute than he did in his own weight div, where he really looked lackluster. Wonder what the deal was with that?
tye vs felipe pena no la encuentro
Meragali had nothing in the tank at the end of that one. Couldn’t even lift his arm
O motivo de ta fugindo do Mica. Passou mal contra o TR 😂😂
Nobody was submitted, no winner really. Just keep in mind the weight difference. Tye a savage
intentional eye poke from Tye, usually these brothers are honorable competitors. But this one just seemed dirty, love the brothers but had to say it.
Where?
Can they GET a bigger mat/space for these, jeez.
he beat Routolo on points when mica submitted he even said he massacred mica😂😂😂😂
Cheated with his left knee a bit before a reset.
Nick completely won this
Tye had more submission attempts, or are you blind
@@deonmcgeheeBS attemps.
@@jonny_z__370zna5 that darce was a BS attempt…ok. Stop sniffing glue!
The best thing about the video is clearly seeing that the narrator is rooting for the American, but is constantly frustrated when Menegalli lands takedowns or goes for Tye's back. hahahahaha
I am happy. Get used to it, you are not the center of the world.
That must be why US dominated last ADCC
I like how you just overlooked the fact that tye had three submission attempts
this dude bigger than ruotolo yet playing way safer this was a wack decision
I'm the only one that thinks the rash guard should be required for all grappling competition matches?
Made in Brazil
No points in ADCC?
Meregali going life and death with a guy 20 kg lighter than him...
Can somebody explain why the last single leg to foot sweep from meregali on regulation wasn't worth any points?
In ADCC you only get takedown points, if your opponent lands in any kind of guard, or you get any pin with at least 50% of his back on the mat. You can see in this match, that both comppetitiors are very aware of this rule and go to turtle everytime they are taken down.
Tye is 168lbs, Meregali is 222lbs. 54lb size advantage and couldn’t even score on Tye
Did he weigh in at 168lb for ADCC or was that from another comp?
Tye was 194lbs (88kg) still at a disadvantage tho against 220 Meregali
Kade was 169lbs. (77kg)
@@ahhx Tye said Nick had 45+lb on him in Instagram post. Not sure what he weighed
For me Tye win but it is wat is...
I love Jiu Jitsu, but as someone who can wrestle I don’t like how these matches begin.
No outside shot fakes/level changes or the grip fighting and especially counters still need growth.
Another match for those with insomnia.
No one can convince me the didn’t win this
“ Action packed “ they say. Love it when the kids these day say the Gi is dead cause it’s so boring : then in the same breath point to matches consisting of 20 mins of non-stop neck slapping and hard disengaging .
Still pretty decent match - if you are able to scroll past the long stretches of neck slapping.
I fast forwarded through most of it.
Tem que rolar menos nos treinos, daí tem mais vontade de rolar no dia do Luta HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Kkkkkkk
I thought tye should have won. Felt like he was more aggressive. Went for more submissions. I only watched it in person though
Seriously I get that it’s an absolute division but size has to be factored in during razed close decisions like this. He shot more shots just couldn’t finish with the size disparity
Agreed, also Meregali kept retreating to the edge of the mat, indicating he was having trouble dealing with Tye's pressure.
In Olympic wrestling (Greco Roman and Freestyle), controlling the centre of the mat is a HUGE factor in passivity calls, and I think it should be a factor in referee decisions of sub grappling too -- especially in razor thin matches like this where most of the action occurred on the feet, neither athlete secured a score, and both had about equal number of almost-successful offensive attacks.
@@jsl8461 He got his back taken like twice. I only recall the darce early on and nothing more.
Tye should of got it just for goin the clock without getting scored on by one of the best in the world
That should be the rule ,if a veteran catches hell from a challenger they should get the fight
nao finalizou ele nao finaliza mica
if they were just better at stand up wrestling
We clearly know who the commentators favored, Ruotolo could of just sat there and not done anything and these guys would of gased him up.
I’ll bet tye will tap you out at will
Tye will tap you at will
Lutinha mais ou menos !!! Doido pra ver o Mica amassar os dois e o cabeludo tb !!!!!😬😬😬😅
Time to hop on some gear
I don't know how you watch this and don't see the immediate problem? Jiujitsu guys have no game on the feet. Not only cant they get and keep each other down, but they are lumbering around like fucking Frankenstein leaving everything open all the time. The takedown opportunities are all over the place, but they have terrible wrestling fundamentals so they can't see them. At one point the announcer says "meregali is difficult to approach he is always reaching..." That is not good. That is exactly an opening that anyone with good wrestling can use. The state of takedowns in jiujitsu is disgraceful.
Cue tye fans claiming he won… lol not even that close
just a draw, you can say either side won
A natty who had to eat cheeseburgers to fight up cuz he lost a coin flip with his twin for their weight class versus a gassed up giant
I am dissapointed by all the noise over heard since this match of "tye getting robbed" or "tye should have won" tye didn't stop running until overtime. He should have been penalized for stalling a minute in. He ran off the mat to stop takedowns and such like what three times? You can't just count on being the aggressive person in overtime.
You can't run off the mat to prevent a takedown at ADCC. Takedowns absolutely count off the mat - that's why Gordon has a loss to Lo.
@A Plus and yet tye ran off the mat to prevent points for a takedown 3 times and meragali did so once in OT and it worked
@@austinfackender Those weren't takedowns under ADCC rules. You need to force their back to the mat and hold them there, or force them to accept guard. Securing the top of turtle or referee's position does not score. ADCC basically has the most difficult-to-satisfy criteria for a takedown score of any grappling sport.
@@austinfackender I don't think you know what the words you're saying mean. There is nowhere to run "off the mat". Why are you talking?
@JSL they're still forcing a reset by escaping to the limit of the boundaries instead of aceeding position. Nitpick it all you want its the same strategy, even if it's technicality within the ruleset
I think Tye won this due to that super tight darce. That was so close. You can see his face grimace like crazy
Wild how they can be this good at subs and this bad at wrestling. They arnt even JV level. :/
Paga maior sapo..e quase perdeu pra um cara com metade do seu peso kkkkkk imagina oq o Pena vai fazer com ele kkkk
Meregali wins
Gordon would thrash Tye
Gordon should go off the gear for a while, see how he’d fair out then
Gordon didn't have the challenges Tye did leading to this moment. There's no guarantee Gordon "thrashes" Tye.
And tye would tap you at will
I think Tye won this fight tho
Get Tyes meat outta ya mouth kid
@@vvvwwzx look at the fight
Same. He was more active comparatively and the only real sub threats
He got dominated the whole fight. He doesn't have enough muscle.
@@FelixGalvanArt he gest down 3 time kkkkkk and meregali gets hes back everytime.
tye had no chance
Stolen, most dangerous attempt was clearly the Darce . Bullshit result
Robbed
This nobody was so lucky that Meregali was tired...
If Tye did roids 🤔
Tye won this foh no contest
He was robbed. Giving up that weight and he was the closest to a submission
And got positionally dominated the whole fight so no. ADCC judges don't fuck up often
@@nico52199 when I didn’t not see a back take or mount that would have scored.
Since when does weight have anything to do with how things are scored or judged? Smaller guys are not given more leniency

Get to the ground already! Quit playing patty cake
Luta sem vergonha, horrível
Sumo wrestling is better
There is no way Meregalli won that fight
Boring wrestling match.
Bullshit decision in my opinion. Tye won that.. meregali didn’t have one single sub attempt!!!!
Definitely shows the glaring flaws of jiujitsu at the elite levels. Dedicating your whole life to a sport where its mostly about size and leverage. That Darce was dead to rights on anyone Tyes weight class. Any traditional sport like basketball, tennis, soccer even football you can use skill and speed against bigger guys and be able to hang your own weight. In Jiujitsu guys will just shrug it off and look so dominantly one sided it can be interpretated as boring and outclassed. 90 percent of Tye style and moves just dont work on 200lbs guys
We’ve seen countless occasions in grappling, where the bigger guy loses. Don’t think that was the issue in this case
Never are more untrue statement have I read on UA-cam.
@@markhill8150 i remember mikey musumeci calling out heavyweights 7 years ago since then he says he don't even roll with heavier guys anymore because he gets injured. The game has changed
200 pound guys? Dude gtfo here. Ruotolos straight murder 99.999% of the population. Ok maybe they can't murder MEREGALI 🤔🤷♀️
@@nainoa2323 but how does that show the glaring flaws of Jiu Jitsu at elite levels? Does size matter - yes when all things are equal. But it matters in all combat sports.
About tired of the no-fight fights. Absurd.
