So N-Rod is no longer only a strong, slippery wrestler. Now he's a real jiu Jitsu fighter with serious relaxation and flow.
Love to see it
Or more like great wrestler with good understanding of jiu-jutsu counters. He's now familiar with the game.
"You guys want this corner?" -Craig Jones 😂
Nicky is so amazing at putting on pressure at exactly the right time. I’m always so impressed by this watching his rolls and competition matches. His timing is so incredible, and he uses his explosivity perfectly
Signed, NJ
Watching Nicky roll with guys at this level just shows how good Gordon is… the levels are crazy. If he stays on course, I can see him being a serious threat in the future.
I’m slow explain this brother
@Athlethics makes sense now I had fully watched the video but now I see
@athlethics360 It's sparring. Ur not supposed to WIN. Gordon ryan gets beat up in sparring quite a bit.
@@REXAZOR only because he wants to
i mean he broke gordon's foot, to me he is already a threat ahaha ! But he has so much room for improvement too, and that's scary
Gordon: “Nicky Rod only spars blue belts.”
Nicky Rod: hold my beer
I reckon it’s why they posted this video now.
Kinda impressive he almost bet Gordon only training with blue belts haha
Bro am i missing something? I just Googled his Name and it said black belt?
Nicky's bottom game is seriously impressive nowadays. He used to only wrestle from top. He looks comfortable on the ground. Massive props Nick: it's not easy for a powerful guy to humble themselves like you have
The word humble needs to be banned
@@studiomonster-c9l the opinion of dummy should be discarded
@@eliasjr1049 I second that motion
Hard not to develop a bottom game training with craig jones and nicky ryan.
@eliasjr1049 Imagine thinking that professional athlete improving a skillset that constitutes 50% of what they do is a big 'humility' moment...
Impressive how Nick let him attack multiple times but escapes easily each time. It looks effortless
Nick is the #2 no gi grappler on Earth lol
That's a possible ADCC match going on at practice. Must be cool to be able to test yourself vs the best guys around
True but if you’re talking levels, sparring Meregali, Satoshi Ishii, Bodoni, Manasiou is probably even higher that these mats!
@@rufioswitch2132 Luke is probably better than satoshi
@@DavinoPoker maybe ground, certainly not in standing game. Gordon's standing game seems to have got absolute top level since working with Satoshii :)
@@rufioswitch2132excluding Gordon since he’s the best Craig, Nicky rod, jay rod, Jozef Chen, Nicky Ryan are on par with the names mentioned.
Its crazy how good Nicky Rod is and has gotten . He is the BB slayer for sure.
i didnt realize there is such a big difference between Nicky and Haisam. like, worlds apart
These two are so much fun to watch
Haisam is such a freak athlete and specimen. He's one of the few BJJ guys in this era that I think could go far in MMA.
Seems to have poor stamina
I think he's a good athlete but he's not world class at bjj his bjj isn't razor sharp
He’s breathing so hard like a minute in and Nicky is just chilling.
How the hell can you tell that when he is only doing bij
@@angoleiro444 havin a few beers tonight rimjob?
Difference in technique is noticeable in the breathing of the two athletes. hasam uses a lot of strength and consequently the breath is always panting.
Nicky, on the other hand, fights very relaxed, controls his breathing a lot and came out in one piece.
Nicky has good positioning as well
Good analysis
I do agree. Rida was at times spazzing out, relying on his physical attributes. Nicky Rod on the other hand is rolling as if Danaher is narrating in his ear.
That might be true but people can breathe heavy for a number of other reasons too. Haisam might have clogged sinuses, might have allergies, he might not be in shape right now, he might have had a couple hard rounds before this one, etc.
You also don’t know if Nicky Rod is fresh and Rida is on his 10th round. Nonetheless, both are high level black belts in the professional/competitive stage. Nicky Rod is neck and neck with Gordon and Peña for best P4P no gi grapplers
Thanks for posting this. It looks like your toughest roll besides Bernardo. This guy has great movement and defense. Keep up the great work Jordan.
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Love the videos, keep 'em coming.
Can’t wait to see the White Belt program/class!!!
Craig decided to move, but only after getting another tap
Do you guys want this corner ?
Consistently amazed by Nicky’s hip mobility, some of the passing he does at 240+ lbs is astonishing
1:37 nicky going for the ground and pound elbow to the chest
This dudes most notable feat was getting the guillotine from freakozoid! ☝️ 👌
Wow! That was a treat. Easily could have been a championship match.
Amazing guys... Nicky rod is artist
More of this, please. This is what BJJ fans want!!!
'chill you big bastards' lol
you can see Craig Jones carefully watching them at 1:20 haha
Damn Nicky game just reached another level.
Rida has so much untapped potential.
Yeah, I wish he could be mentored by someone like Xande or Roger. I think his athleticism has gotten him so far that it’s masked technical flaws. Nicky mounting him and moving into such a high position so quickly is unacceptable for grappler of Rida’s pedigree (or at least it should be). He would benefit so much from being slowed down and forced to control opponents around his size.
It's insane to think that Haisam Rida is one of the best practitioners in the world and he just got toyed with by Nicky Rod here.
Because he's not very technical
@@ChokeArtist411 neither is nicky
Nicky is very technical he’s just got an incredibly limited game at the moment
Hilarious that random UA-cam armchair Juijitsu practitioners calling Rida and Nicky Rod not technical. These guys would run through the majority of black belts with one hand tied behind their back.
@@dw7647 Rida loses matches and positions in matches with puzzling regularity, so it's not likely he would run thru the majority of black belts with a hand tied. The tape doesn't lie, Rida isn't very technical.
So often you see the more experienced Jiu-Jitsu athlete breathing much more controlled and relaxed, Nicky Rod able to stay soo calm and collected in this roll! No disrespect to Haisam who I am sure is on the come up and we'll be seeing much more of!
Thanks for posting
My armchair comment:
Haisam is extremely explosive and quick, incredible length and maybe even ideal body for ju jitsu; but he lacks refinement and efficiency, relies on explosive movement and athleticism more than anything, but that would mean with a top level school his potential could be even higher than Nicky’s perhaps.
Nicky is levels rn, idc what anyone says he’s absolutely evolving at a rapid pace in which he would ultimately be THE guy in the world in a year or two
Gordon still exist a year from now lol?
С дниллыми конечностями бороться в 100 раз труднее.
I'm a bit surprised rod gave up his position wvn as a BB it's rare for guys at rod s level to train like this which tells me that he has now transitioned to training to become more technical as opposed to training just to be " tough". Focusing on all aspects of his game......BRAVO!!!!........I'm a little shorter than hasim ( I think) and living in Houston, I'll be heading to Austin to train with the B team in March.
But he’s not a black belt
@@theoneandonly6741
No he isnt
Rolling with Nicky Rod is so far down on my list of things to do, followed only be “slap a tiger in his lovespuds”, and “bully a polar bear with a fly swatter”
Scary, big guys that have legit skills, absolute killers
Mad props to Nicky Rod (from a Ryan fan)!!
Fake fan
"Just a nice easy roll with Nicky Rod" said no one ever
5:19 Glad Haisam didn't get his right arm broken on this takedown.
Rida is always exciting to watch
he had nothing for nicky rod
Must be so demoralising for Rida when NR repeatedly gives up position just to breezily work his escapes.
Come on man, really ? Demoralizing? What type of attitude do yo I have to even think k of some BS like that? Be humble man…….always!
ごめんねリダ様。失礼しました。お前は明らかにトップ選手ですけど、レベルがある。
No just the path to growth
@DreX-8810 What does 'humble' have to do with anything? Haisam has been grappling half his life and is getting handled by a guy who is both younger than he is and who has less experience in BJJ.
You think that's going to somehow improve his confidence?
Very nice mounted triangle transition by Nicky.
Nicky is not even breathing hard he is on that good shit
Nicky Rod is so damn explosive!
Watching NIcky roll seriously just blows my mind. I don't understand how he loses so much the dude is a freaking mutant specimen of a man.
there's training, and theres competition i guess
@@ybench5871 yep seems so my man! Just wild to think after seeing how incredibly talented he is.
What do you mean loses so much? hes silver medalist 2x adcc? he loses to Gordon and demolishes others?
@@Madnoxlol uhhh I think you should have probably at least done any amount of research before commenting. But I guess that’s asking too much.
Nicky went 4-5 last year.
@@Madnoxlol His record in 2022 was 4-5. He loses a lot.
1:50 now that's great respect from B-team. Craig moves out of the way and Rod apologises to Craig!
Nice use of Gordon & John's body lock passing!
😂
This is the Rody lock bro
In my opinion rida will be adcc champ, so much raw potential and size.
Nicky Rod looking like the champ!
Giant men right there
@@bibothor206 Lol to most?
@@bibothor206 lol 🤙🏻
No disrespect but I Used to see just brutal force from Nicky rod but from this match I can see how good he is and the progress he is making.
Nice body shot: 1:35!
I was like "Did he just throw an elbow?!?" glad it wasn't only me lol
Haha saw the same thing
I was out of breath just watching 😂
GREAT ROLL!!!!
Nicky Rod composer is amazing
Rida is a freak of nature …so much physical potential
cant wait for the next nicky v gordon match
I want to see Gordon v Nicky in a no time limit match. would be interesting
The breathing of Hasaim compared to Nicky
Dam. Nicky rod u a beast doggggg
Battle of giants !
caraca.... o nicky rod está surpreendente... incrível
olha ela aeeee
Craig in the corner just vibing ❤❤
Both have some good transitions and few aces on sleeves. But i saw a lack of control of positions. Besides that fact, the two guys don't breathe properly. Nice roll indeed.
I got exhausted watching that
que buena onda estar en ese lugar y no saber que lucha mirar, todas buenas jajaja
That counter robbed us of a great leg lock finish/escape. Someone demolish it
Will probably see this round one of the tourney, eh?
do they ever train with Gi in B-Team?
Why am I becoming team Nicky now?
He's truly impressive and I think will eventually beat Gordon.
Just a more likeable guy I guess
@@fullysuppressed Both reasons
Rida is incredibly underrated.
Nice ankle graze technique 1:41
Looked like guys 2 rolling at different speeds. One guy was consistent, the other feigned light rolling then would explode.
Nicky just casually gets out of every position he lets Rida get him in. 😮
Those wrestle ups !!
That body lock pass at 2:15…
I was like 😱😱
Blinkz good hips beat rubber guard every time.
that wrestle up type of sit up guard is so hard to defend
until you do it on someone with literally any wrestling experience
@@luiscruz5556i have trained with d1 wrestlers that i could never take down from feet, but i wrestle up from butterfly and half guard and take them down or reverse fairly easily.
I can't understand how nicky and haisan are one of the best . Actually I know why ... we saw a sparring with Gordon and meregalli and it was beautiful really high level bjj and we saw these two fighting like blue belts . They are really good athletes but I don't see a greater understanding of the art from them ...
Jiu jitsu ASMR
Both are very good Bjj practitioners.
Doing that to Haisam Rida is just unreal...
Nick is still mostly wrestling and the other guy is jitz both are fun to watch
Nicky spends half the vid laying on his back and escaping bad positions, surely you aren’t saying that laying on your back is wrestling?
Haisam needs to get to a serious school, he seems to rely on athleticism and it would be a serious waste of potential if this is his height of potential, he needs to ditch the rubber guard crap, all that does is take his athleticism out of the equation.
Did he tap at 8:09
It looked as though Nicky was going nice and easy. Haisam didn't read the roll, so Nicky decided to reciprocate.
I was out of breath watching this
spazzy
Nicky needs to take his talents to the cage before he gets any older. He could be something special in UFC
Crazyy
Fuck man, I can’t wait for some rolls tonight.
his favorite blue belt ............
Nicky is so calm
OSS🕶🤙🏽
nicky just walks away unphased as haisam sounds like hes asphyxiating.
Nicky is fucking good
There is quite a skill differential there.
Buttrod is the guy that sandbags the entire match until you put him in a bad position then he explodes and blows out your knee.
Haisam is good but he got his black belt with local level guys at Carpe Diem in Tokyo. At this level, he needs a proper school and refine his technique.
How tall is Rida?
According to flograppling he is 6’5”.
So...other people you can ask to move...but Craig, you´re sorry....LOL ...
I wonder how well Nick would do Vs André Galvao
Nicky appears to be at a much higher level.
Compared to Gordon v Meregali…it’s clear to see why 1 is the King and 1 is the pretender
