The tier list looks great - makes it really clear to see how the division shapes up. With Bodoni being the man to beat and the old adage of 'styles make fights', are there one or two competitors you could see giving him the most trouble? Could these even be from lower down the tier list, due to a stylistic approach? Could one of the dark horses gallop their way to victory? I await the Oracle's answer..
Some great points there. There is a big disruptor tier here and a variety of styles among the grapplers. Bodoni has been beatable since ADCC. But then ADCC Bodoni looked like a different athlete last time at -88kg and he has spoken about how much emphasis he puts on this competition. There is a bit of unpredictability to this division, which makes it exciting. - Ross
Very interested to see how J-Rod performs, he's obviously a more prominent figure in recent years due to his association with B-Team and more importantly, impressive performances (if not with winning results). C-Tier definitely makes sense for him - He can obviously wrestle, but do you see the likes of Izaak being too much on the feet for him? He's a DOG and can scramble, but has a tendency to get tied up and there's no shortage of guys to are able to tie him up and attack his legs in particular. I suppose my question is: what styles would you foresee being good/bad match ups for him?
You could make the argument that a slow, grindy wrestler is good for J-Rod to face cause he's so dynamic. Or bad to face cause they will slow him down. Ditto him facing a scrambler - J-Rod could out move them, or be outmaneuvered. It's tough to call. I think all of those things could happen, which makes him a disruptor. I think all-round Izaak and Bodoni will have too much for him. But outside of that, he potentially could beat, or lose, to anyone. - Ross
Yeah you could definitely make an argument for that, the divisions definitely opened up I personally just don’t see him as a dark house to win the whole thing, could be wrong though. Thank you, do you mean you like where we’ve placed everyone or how we’ve done the graphics this time?
@@JiuJitsuOracle-lz9yf I like how you’ve placed everyone . The graphics are good. I think j rod competed against mica better than most in this division would but recently he hasn’t been the best.
Nice one thank you. Yeah asides from a good first half against tainan and his match with jonatha his recent matches may have brought him down. Can definitely see the case for him b tier though
I like -88. It's solid at the top and heavy in the disruptor tier. We should get some great matches and possibly some shocks. We've got Bodoni as the man to beat but I don't think he's nailed on to win, which makes it interesting. There's also a wide variety of styles among the athletes, which is another intriguing factor. I think -80 CJI and -66 ADCC are the standout divisions. But outside of that, I think all the divisions have retained some big names and got some exciting grapplers in their ranks. - Ross
I think this bracket is really interesting and there will be some disruption. Both Ryan and Taylor definitely have the potential to take out some of the bigger names in the division. - Ross
Your probably right it would have been an interesting one with the chances of anyone beating Gordon being so low. Unfortunately though he isn’t doing the 99+ division anymore and is doing the two super fights instead.

Another banger tier list
Thanks for watching

With how much worse this division is I could see j rod in b. I like this tier list more than the cji one.

With all the drop outs from this division, would you say this is the least stacked/worst division of the weekend?

Ryan Aitken and Taylor gonna shock some people
I think this bracket is really interesting and there will be some disruption. Both Ryan and Taylor definitely have the potential to take out some of the bigger names in the division.

Just realized +99 would be Gordon S and everyone else B or lower
Your probably right it would have been an interesting one with the chances of anyone beating Gordon being so low. Unfortunately though he isn’t doing the 99+ division anymore and is doing the two super fights instead.
@@JiuJitsuOracle-lz9yf I forgot! That division is gonna be rough
Mica??
Mica is competing in the 77kg weight class. We’ll have a video on that division in the near future.
Can you be in CJI and ADCC? Jay is in CJI
Jay Rod is only in ADCC, him along with Ethan Crelinsten. The rest of the main B team guys are in CJI
