This was a dope break down - I wish more high-level grapplers would be so unselfishly honest during their break downs. This was dope - great information and hopefully, you will do more - I definitely hit the subscriber button after watching this! Appreciate the insights, lots of great gems!.
I already follow you for a while (as many other followers I watch and save your short videos of techniques to a list to then practice, together with videos from Marcos Tinoco) but it is the first time I see you posting this type of video (and my first time commenting a video of yours). Well, It was very interesting, entertaining and specially your comments, so humble you are, and you did so well in the match. Thank you and greetings from Portugal
Thank you Matt! I believe Gordon and John have said that the DDS reinforce their grips by covering the thumb/finger gap from the opposite side. The principle is somewhat like the mixed grip in deadlifting - pulling out of one hand takes you into the other hand. This is one reason why their grips feel exceptionally strong.
I mean this in the best possible way but If world class grapplers like you or Cub Swanson can't even get a title shot, what the hell kind of animals are swimming in the top 5 of each division? Kinda puts things in perspective. Or maybe it's all politics? Maybe that would be a great video, how match making works in the UFC.
true...5 of my 8 pro fights were in UFC (got in at 2-1) 2 of my 3 losses were to Matt Brown...he turned out to be pretty good! (2 pro fights didnt count on my record because they were on TUF...but I won both.
Gordon was already on steroids in this match he just started juicing when he was a purple belt that's why he had the strength did against Blackbelts and did not get tired is the roids he was taking....
Gordon was already on the juice (steroids) why he wasn't tired. Coach Danaher is his steroid dealer.... Danaher was juicing in his youth as well.... Steroid user vs non steroid user.

yes you are correct for sure! thanks
Awesome match!! That restart was BS. Loved watching this.
Thanks Man!
4:00 good defense to get the left shoulder some space to get the head free
5:26 he always keeps the left shoulder free so he can push off
Great video and you're seemingly a great dude.
"and now he's Gordon Ryan" 🤣🤣
Thanks Nick!
What was the moment u realised how good he was? As soon as you felt the grip? Much love!
I think it was when he respun me and took my back I was like...crap...he's good!
1:39 lean to the side he’s trying to pull you in to gain back leverage
U should gordon ryan vs me. Lol

Cub Swanson has lost big fights and Matt Arroyo is 3-3. MMA takes more than grappling. That’s why they haven’t gotten a title shot.

IN MMA HAD BEEN MORE FEAR
100%
You don’t look thing is now you look at him steroids they help right good job, Matt
Gordon was already on steroids in this match he just started juicing when he was a purple belt that's why he had the strength did against Blackbelts and did not get tired is the roids he was taking....
Had to Google veteren just to make sure you were using it incorrectly.
Edward Rice good one buddy. But relax guy, you’re not shit
Should've googled veteran
hahah
Gordon was already on the juice (steroids) why he wasn't tired.
Coach Danaher is his steroid dealer.... Danaher was juicing in his youth as well....
Steroid user vs non steroid user.
Restart was bullshit
Definitely click bait.
