I hope that Metamoris goes back to the bigger live crowds. It's neat to see all the world class black belts in attendance, and it really does make it exciting for the viewers (and probably the fighters!) to hear a knowledgeable crowd responding to the action on the mat. PS: It's crazy that the Boogeyman survived that arm bar.
I met you about 4 or 5 years ago in Northern Ireland at a club called Team Torres. Inspired me during the seminar to look at the whole body. I was totally commeted before the seminar and loved grappling before the seminar but after i had a new different logic and commitment. Thank for your knowledge that day Dean. I also run a Grappling club in Northern Ireland now and am hoping to get ya in when you are over next.
Two great athletes. Dean is such a strong guy and his defence is super. Xande is probably my favourite fighter ever though and I absolutely love watching his game. Many thanks for posting this. :-)
This is one of the greatest matches, highly technical and a lot of action. They both escaped each others main attacks and shook each others hands out of respect.
Dean Lister / Lister Dean you are one of the best, OUsss! You are an amazing BJJ champion and an inspiration to us all. Those of you who say that Ribeiro was dominating Dean don't know Dean's style. He trains in a weak position to build up his escapes and strength in those positions. This is why he will give a opponent the dominant position many times, so that he can work his escapes and submissions from there. He did this with Ribeiro the whole match. Dean is a thinker, a very smart tactician. Ribeiro is also very good and definitely gave Dean a challenge. Neither one dominated, but Ribeiro's arm bar attempt was very well done. But so was Dean's escape. Two amazing BJJ champions who gave everyone a master class in BJJ at the highest level.
Why would anyone deliberately put themselves in a weaker position in an actual match? People do that during training and sparring, not an actual competition.
I was lucky enough to be there live. This video doesn't do it justice how electric that crowd was. It was like being at a college football game but in a tiny building
I really loved this display of No Gi skill by both fighters! In my opinion, when you take away all those handholds and grips afforded by the gi, you really get to see the technical strength of the fighters in the best way.
Apples and oranges, apples and oranges. Some people are great with and some are great without, but both match styles present a unique challenge. No Gi doesn't involve as much grip strength, and Gi doesn't involve quite as much hip pressure and the submission defenses are a little less hard (what with gripping the Gi). Also you don't have to worry about reversals nearly as much in No Gi matches and in Gi matches it is much harder to pass guard.
Lukecash12 The key words here were "in my opinion" :p my opinion is based on my preference for faster paced matches, and the gi (mostly the plethora of grips it affords both fighters) seems to me to slow the pace. I appreciate the techniques in all forms of grappling, but IN MY OPINION, No Gi is better.
ileana adamez that wasn't my day :( in the future, i will reveal what has been going on lately, maybe a reason for my terrible performance... Barnett was the better man that day, my hat is off to him
This match was awesome, although it got frustrating watching Xande refusing to initiate any kind of move that would put the fight to the ground. Definitely a new fan in Dean, such a humble guy off the mat too.
Lister Dean I'm glad you responded! I had no idea you had your own channel! I'm gonna check it out. I've known Xande for 6 years now and have to admit I was routing for him, but you guys had a fantastic match! Respect!!
helio is clearly a hater. I'm glad you put him in his place in a civil way. He's obviously trolling looking for an argument dean.hope to see u back in Texas with Dave Dunn. I'm proud to have trained attended as many seminars as I have of yours, and proud to be ranked under u brother.
It's 2020 and this match is still awesome!
Rickson and Jean Jacques at the end. DAAAAAAAMN so much glory.
more exciting than the match.
can't handle the amount of hespect being thrown around right now
lol

Dean you've inspired me to work on defense! almost like having super powers.
Man do I love when this match pops up in my feed!?!? May 2020!!
Dean Listers defense is phenomenal!!
Highly enjoyable match. I am starting to really like Lister and how he rolls. Credit to both fighters.

awesome my bro!
Is that Jocko talking to Dean in the background? :)
Both Renner and the other announcer really make these matches come alive...thx for posting them!!
Two great athletes. Dean is such a strong guy and his defence is super. Xande is probably my favourite fighter ever though and I absolutely love watching his game. Many thanks for posting this. :-)
Great match. Xande passes were awesome
Wow... Dean Lister truly lives in the moment...
This is one of the greatest matches, highly technical and a lot of action. They both escaped each others main attacks and shook each others hands out of respect.
Lots of respect for both these guys
Everytime I watch Dean Lister compete I run off his fumes for like a month. The man is a tsunami of bad ass! Inspiration.
I love Renner's commentary. The UFC needs him.
Noooo
Take It back now
Nice ! Respect to both competitors !
Can we get Rener back on the mic please
so much respect for the both of them, even though I've recently got into jiujitsu and its art.
wish it was longer than 20m! damn that was amazing!
Two BJJ heroes who inspire me...
great going guys👍👍
Great match! Big fan of both guys!
Good commentary.
Love the defense Dean, very impressive. Thanks for the great show!
Great match !!!
I definitely need to start training B.J.J !!!
That was amazing jiu jitsu. Could watch these two for days.
The best fight!!!
Very very good!!!
Badly torn meniscus keeps me from rolling right now....but at least I have more time to check great matches like this out...amazing competitors!
Why does Rener give Dean so much respect and goes light on Xande. It's so biased. Ugh. Makes me a bigger fan of Xande. Oss!
mad respect for both guys.. how is dean lister sooo calm under that pressure??!!
Mad skills to get out of that arm bar!
Dean you were my inspiration to get into the sport. I wish I could train with you one day. The Leg Locks are sick and under utilized.
glad to hear Robert!!! Keep up the training and go far!!! Let me know if you are ever out in San Diego
Dean I would make a special trip just to roll with you brother. I am just up in northern California so it would be an easy flight
+Robert Henderson come down anytime you can my bro
+Lister Dean I am coming to San Diego for business next month so I will make sure to come roll. the guys at my gym will be super jealous.
you are welcome here, looking forward to meeting you
awesome match
Comments aside, this was an awesome match, probably the best so far, from all three events. Both guys looking for the finish all the time.
Dean Lister / Lister Dean you are one of the best, OUsss! You are an amazing BJJ champion and an inspiration to us all. Those of you who say that Ribeiro was dominating Dean don't know Dean's style.

How is it even possible to escape from that arm lock? Sick!
I was lucky enough to be there live. This video doesn't do it justice how electric that crowd was. It was like being at a college football game but in a tiny building
a luta mais empolgante do Metamoris!
Awesome match
Lots of respect. Not out to hurt each other. More of an exhibition, not an execution.
I can recognize Rener’s voice anywhere. DJOOOOO DJITSU
Impresionante
I cant wait till im that calm.
Miss Metamoris, best jiu jitsu comp ever
No too many draws.
very nice fight
Nice match. Respect.

hip was not up , head was gone 3 secs after the thumb sideway armbar ... seemed exciting .. but u can see why ..
beautiful beautiful fight
Dean Lister vs Josh Barnett at Metamoris 4 is gonna be sick.
ileana adamez that wasn't my day :( in the future, i will reveal what has been going on lately, maybe a reason for my terrible performance... Barnett was the better man that day, my hat is off to him
Dean's arm had to of hurt the next day! What a great match!
Hey is Rener Gracie the one commenting the match??
High level guys both passionate about the sport
So are the fighters the ones who decide whether they compete in a gi/no-gi match? Or the organizers?
In regards to this specific event, that is.
Monstros!! Osssa
Two masters of no gi. There was so much going on setting up attacks and counters. Could study for hours.
Wow... that are lock escape was slick as fuck
Fucking awesome match. More Metamoris Events!
Great bout.
We've seen three submissions tonight. And they've all been totally unique.... Although they all have been arm locks.
holy fuck man you could see dean thought about tapping but then said fuck it
one of my favorite matches right here
Dean has balls of steal, that armbar defense wow! Pretty basic, but going for it that late is just stunning!
Both are my favorite fighters..... Xande Ribeiro kimura attempt impress me to add it to my game....Dean armbar escape....i used it really effective
Ya man
Did Xande uncross his legs on purpose at the end of the armbar attempt or did Dean push them apart with his hand?
Que lutao vendo em 2021
How did he not tap at 14:42??
+PabloCruise91 He didnt tap at 6:24 cos xande didnt have the greatest leverage, so he just popped his head out
+PabloCruise91 because he is a monster O_O
+PabloCruise91 The thumb was down, so no arm lock, maybe if he had the shoulder higher.
didn't have the best angle
Because apparently Dean Lister can curl 300 lbs per arm lol
Ahhhh!!! Wow..wow wow!!!1
Ribeiro BJJ repping strong. Whoop whoop
was this recorded by rener bro
If you haven't seen Jiu Jitsu before this is a good match to watch!
what a match
that was intense!!
dem escapes!
14:42 AMAZING!
is that JP sears in the crowd at 21:41 front row to the right?
Lol sitting next to Rickson and Jean Jacques? How the hell did you see him past two gods of the sport? I'm pretty sure it is!
Nah, never mind
I miss Metamoris...
I thought the original fight card had Dean going against Kevin Casey. What happened?
Damn this pretty fucking exciting.
Is Metamoris still going now? I like this no points, sub only rules. 🤙
14:52 "The boogeyman! The boogeyman! Nothing scares the boogeyman!"
This match was awesome, although it got frustrating watching Xande refusing to initiate any kind of move that would put the fight to the ground. Definitely a new fan in Dean, such a humble guy off the mat too.
Graham Van Dyke thanks man
Lister Dean You're welcome! Keep at it dude, you're a beast!
+Lister Dean hey Dean, will you ever stop by at dallas/fortworth area?
would love to one day
2022
Revendo essa luta incrível e imaginando se o Dean Lister ainda responde aos comentários aqui kkkk
nao@!@ :)
7:54 why don’t they allow heelhooks in the Gi?
THIS is Jiu-Jitsu
dean is a living walking legend
If Xande Ribeiro caught me in an arm bar my damn arm would snap off
Xande is not only competing here. he seems to be the referee as well.
Amazing! How the hell did Lister get out of that armbar? Btw Rener is the man, let him fight Buchecha at M3
beasts...
Who von ???
you know xande got maybe a hair nervous a the two minute mark, where dean had a chance for a leg lock
wow
I heard that sometimes the hosts of the metamoris event don't pay their competitors. I hope that they were paid for this match.
The background noise is ridiculous.
made me a fan of Xande
xande is my toughest rival... he is the man
Lister Dean I'm glad you responded! I had no idea you had your own channel! I'm gonna check it out. I've known Xande for 6 years now and have to admit I was routing for him, but you guys had a fantastic match! Respect!!
bjjsalzberry13 thanks man, when I see Xande compete I also am cheering for him as well, take care
helio is clearly a hater. I'm glad you put him in his place in a civil way. He's obviously trolling looking for an argument dean.hope to see u back in Texas with Dave Dunn. I'm proud to have trained attended as many seminars as I have of yours, and proud to be ranked under u brother.
Albert Magno all good Albert, it happens.. hope all is good in Texas
How can you choke Dean "no neck, no choke" Lister?
