The second I saw that sweep at 7:38 I stopped watching and came to the comment section. I knew that's all people would be talking about. Marcello is fkn ridiculously good.
now that is some hi quality BJJ the sweep by Lovato at 3:45 was awesome as was Marcelo's at 7:40 I'm only a blue belt, but I can recognize greatness...
Thats as high end as jiu jitsu gets. Marcelo is a god. Bare in mind lovato is still actively competing. Garcia basically a full time teacher and prob could still dominate most of the high end competitors
GordonFreeman if you have nothing nice to say or nothing constructive to say then don't say anything at all our minds are too calm for the storm of your hatred
It's so impressive how Marcelo is able to stay steady against someone whose arms and legs are so much longer than his. I often feel like he looks at 8:27 ish, all tied up by the other guy. I'll have to try to channel him next time.
Totally agree with you bud! What an awesome sweep! I watched it over and over again, frame by frame! See how he 'tested' it first, by feinting his right leg up...then BANG! Marcello is undoubtedly a grappling genius! What a work of art to watch!
It's incredible watching these guys roll, even after a few years of consistent training, as a decent blue I can barely follow most of what they're doing. As for the gi, it makes your escapes better and increases your overall awareness and ability to feel things. Your guard will improve with gi work. It's not required to be a great grappler but it has it's benefits. Plus it's great for the street.
Marcelo's classes run $200/month (1 year agreement) but space in NYC is very very expensive, especially considering that MG is right next to time square.
The biggest lesson Marcelo teaches is to always break your opponent's grips. The second someone who knows what they're doing has TWO grips on you, you're in trouble. Marcelo doesn't even want one grip on him.
@@jasonrose6288 You have to learn to get your grips and go. Getting your grip then just chilling, waiting for them to strip or move etc. People learn to just either grab to grab someone, or just take forever to initiate their movement. Grab and go.
So I certainly liked the sweep at 740 but what kept Rafael from posting at 622? just the speed at which Marcello was sweeping, maybe Rafael was keeping it playful, did Marcello have some way of stopping the left hand. just trying to figure it out I use a lot of the arm drag grip but I never sweep that direction
Marcelo is keeping it playful, if you watch their match Marcelo 14 - 0 then submits him at the end with arm bar. Lovato did not let go of the gi to post on that sweep at 6:22
it looks like rafael's left hand had possibly gripping marcelo's right lapel, marcelo went for the sweep in that split second and rafael couldn't post. It's hard to see this at the first angle, but once marcelo is on top you can see Rafael's left hand gripping the right lapel.
and marcelo swept rafael to rafael's left. this made it difficult for him to post his hand and have structure to achieve base. He posted on his elbow briefly with the grip in his hand, but the momentum for the sweep at this point was already too much. this just shows how high level they truly are, tooth and nail right up until the sweep, pass, back take, or submission is achieved.
Looked like a check sweep at first and once Marcelo saw that Rafael was so committed to that top grip that he didn't respond to the check, he went through with it.
#1) Its NYC and you would be surprised how much a space that size can run you. Unless you are Renzo Gracie, thats pretty much how gyms go. #2) Not sure when in relation to the filming this it happened, but I know their main academy was damaged by a flood and they had to change locations.
The sweep at 7:40 was so impressive.
C.Duncan Sutherland I like braulio at 3:40
holy shit that was amazing
I hardly find that particularly impressive.
i'd like to see you land that sweep on a world class black belt.
Tried this on bleu belt bb judoka almost worked. He was shocked as he normally never get sweeped even from upper belts.
Its rare you get to see Marcelo under such good pressure and passing attempts. Lovato is a stud and does a great job of hanging with the p4p goat.
The second I saw that sweep at 7:38 I stopped watching and came to the comment section. I knew that's all people would be talking about. Marcello is fkn ridiculously good.
I still have night mares about it. I call them nightmares because they just keep happening and I wake up. I hate that.
Ha! no shit thats exactly what i did. except i rewound it a few times first
Read my mind
HAHA same here. Was going to mention it with a timestamp if I hadn't read your comment first.
Me too,exactly
I love how never ending jiu-jitsu is. I watched this right when it came out and missed so much. Watching it again, and its blowing my mind.
I've never seen Marcelo work so hard. Bravo!
Against a heavyweight black belt world champ 😂
It's very good to see that RLJ uses every step in his passing DVD
This was AMAZING. Both Lavato and Garcia. Another Level.
2:50 and 7:30! Wooooooohh!!! 3:50 was tight too! Such technique shown by these two living legends of the art.
I like that you linked to another video so we could see the sweep, that's a true hero move man
Sick! Madd respect for both guys. MG still a beast, nice to see Jr's game evolve
Rafael was really making Marcelo work hard for it. Very technical
Wow the pressure by Lovato is amazing
Marcelo started turning it up in the second half...these sweeps he's hitting are so sick, esp the one in 7:40
Manne Feroz on Fri ko òiquu1u8uu21u1u you 88 ok i u8akwjii ik I 8ii km wiuuujuyuu
This is what I love about BJJ, you can find the best in the world, rolling with the best in the world on any given day.
Song name?
dominik cruz will dethrone conor lmao
HAHAHA! christ that was funny
Don't see Marcelo in deep half very often. cool roll
I love both of these guys styles. Two of my favorites.
I think I had to watch that Baseball Slide Hook Sweep about a dozen times. Really nice!
Gained a ton of respect for this guy lovato...how impressive was this
Maaaaaaan! What a great roll. Both of these guys are great. Would be a privilege to learn bjj from either
now that is some hi quality BJJ the sweep by Lovato at 3:45 was awesome as was Marcelo's at 7:40 I'm only a blue belt, but I can recognize greatness...
Lovato was just rollin' as usual...he's pretty chill during most of the match.
I can't believe there's actually people who dislike this video
i can
Re-watching this now as a black belt, and there are so many subtle movements that I missed when I first saw this footage!
What a match, any love for Lovatos mounting of Garcia within the first minute?
Hell yeah! Thats my prof.
This is about as outstanding as it gets.
Wow, a bunch of nice sweeps.
beautiful display of BJJ
Anyone else notice the head fake right before the sweep? He’s incredible at hiding his moves.
That was awesome!
this is sweet!! Lovato looks like Van Damm lol
Thats as high end as jiu jitsu gets. Marcelo is a god. Bare in mind lovato is still actively competing. Garcia basically a full time teacher and prob could still dominate most of the high end competitors
Nathan Jones Khabib will tap him out
GordonFreeman if you have nothing nice to say or nothing constructive to say then don't say anything at all our minds are too calm for the storm of your hatred
why dont they publish the clip where naranja submits him twice ?
Two of my favorite grapplers here!
+Gabriel Montoya For me, not two of, but THE two.
+joopsnoop Definitely! The are my two top favorites, as well. Just amazing and inspiring practitioners.
Very good!!!👏👏👏👏👏
i could watch this for hours
Lovato is no joke!!
Fantastico!
It's so impressive how Marcelo is able to stay steady against someone whose arms and legs are so much longer than his. I often feel like he looks at 8:27 ish, all tied up by the other guy. I'll have to try to channel him next time.
Geniuses at work!
8:13 - Roll to guard....flawless...
Wow...perfection in grappling.
Really good video both are great fighter.
Great to see guys at this level rolling together :)
What a clinic in technique
Art.
Level: God.
forever...
Awesome, thanks for this
Totally agree with you bud! What an awesome sweep! I watched it over and over again, frame by frame! See how he 'tested' it first, by feinting his right leg up...then BANG! Marcello is undoubtedly a grappling genius! What a work of art to watch!
cool to see him attempt it.
God. Damn.

Yeah definitely helps develop escapes with the friction involved
Are you still training 7 years later?
Marcelo es mucho Marcelo!!!!💪💪💪💪
give MG some love @ that hook sweep at 6:20
Sweep at 7:38 is just beautiful to watch!
very well said. . . this is true. . .
the x guard sweep! sick
jesus christ that sweep at 7:42..mg is god !!
Alto nível
Got to see them compete in Houston tourney in a 4 -man ... yes of course MG won
I love Marcelo ...very good Jiu Jitsu
Marcelo's classes run $200/month (1 year agreement) but space in NYC is very very expensive, especially considering that MG is right next to time square.
We al know Marcelo is amazing, but this Lovato Jr. guy, I'm not familiar with him, but he's amazing in his own right.
Lovato is awesome
7:40 what is sweep
He jumped into the knee-push variation of the scissor sweep.
no sound?
Gripping is so key. Yes, there all sorts of awesome sweeps etc. But the gripping battle to me is the most interesting aspect.
The biggest lesson Marcelo teaches is to always break your opponent's grips. The second someone who knows what they're doing has TWO grips on you, you're in trouble. Marcelo doesn't even want one grip on him.
@@thefitgm335 What I find hard is spending an entire roll grip fighting versus doing anything else.
@@jasonrose6288 You have to learn to get your grips and go. Getting your grip then just chilling, waiting for them to strip or move etc. People learn to just either grab to grab someone, or just take forever to initiate their movement. Grab and go.
@@thefitgm335 Cheers. I agree. That does require decent stamina - unless you catch your opponent cold. Thanks for the follow up.
thanks for next lesson from marcelo :)
I would like to see Marcelo Garcia handling/rolling kabibh
@5:55 Marcelo is like "fuck this belt GAME ON"
The leverage advantage that lovato has!
High level
Nice...
So I certainly liked the sweep at 740 but what kept Rafael from posting at 622? just the speed at which Marcello was sweeping, maybe Rafael was keeping it playful, did Marcello have some way of stopping the left hand. just trying to figure it out I use a lot of the arm drag grip but I never sweep that direction

I am impressed with Lovato. His game is fucking serious.
Raspada, passagem de guarda e joelho na barriga no final do treino. Marcelino sinistro.
That sweep at 7:40!
+Daniel Olivares I was about to type the exact same words as you wrote and saw your comment. :) Very sweet.
Wow that was wild I just love watching these all stars move on the ground. I think my jitz got one stripe better just from watching them
7:38 and sequence there after is amazing!!!
Lovato was clearly trying to feed his ego and surprised Marcelo with his aggression in the beginning but then Marcelo turned it up a notch as well.
never took bjj but quick question is common for them to start rolling form the ground? Why not start standing and go for take downs?
space and potential for injuries.
#1) Its NYC and you would be surprised how much a space that size can run you. Unless you are Renzo Gracie, thats pretty much how gyms go.
#2) Not sure when in relation to the filming this it happened, but I know their main academy was damaged by a flood and they had to change locations.
First thing you see is him getting full mount on Marcelo and I'm like😳
The levels of Jiu-Jitsu!!!!
!!! flying butterfly sweep! haha
Damn these guys make something as basic as a butterfly sweep at 6:25 look great. Great roll.
Sick vid.
Is it just my phone or is this video muted?
I seriously dislike RLJ but I have to say his jits is on point. I haven't seen Marcelo under such pressure in sparring, ever.
Lavato going hard, then... Marcelo turns it up! .... Thanks for vid
jesus
8:13 Nice!
time: 7:31, what happened between the edit?
Anyone know what gi Rafael is wearing? Sick gi.
did he just attempt a berimbolo on 6:58 on MG?!
wikid man!!
Lovato is making Marcelo look like a white belt.
HAHAHAHA!
Hey Rafael what happened to your pressure passing system here? :o
I never see marcelinho so nervous to sobmit somebody hehehehe ... and din't get... but pass the car, sorry for my english ...
