Idk how you guys keep clicking on grappling videos, and then complain when theres nothing but grappling. Shut up and watch something else. Why do you keep doing this to yourself?
I've heard alot about him. Clearly talented but this vid doesn't display the skill of a champion imo. Too passive. One note the whole time. Pulled guard literally 100% of the match. Champion needs offense, not just to put on a class about endlessly pulling guard and endlessly working for the same heel hook (and not getting it) for 13 min straight.
I love Mikey’s leg attacks they’re amazing. But for casuals and brand new fans, Mikey please implement 1 takedown into your game. You are a super star of grappling, it will help the sport a lot
Just visit any BJJ gym and find out?? Y’all imaging street fighting is funny. Guarantee non of ya fight AT ALL IRL. Go visit a gym and get wrecked by a skinny little butt scooter just like Mikey 😂
Same but to be fair this is specifically for the Grappling championship. Pretty cool of ONE to separate all the grappling from the kickboxing/muay thai and MMA because at least you know what you’re getting so it’s easy to avoid watching it if you don’t like it.
Action my friend, I love BJJ but the standup game is so ignored and makes it boring for those who dont practice. I dont blame them, I blame the rule set. Cost points for immediately pulling guard
@@darkmikerises LOL, it could happen. Anything can happen in a street fight, but I'd still take a skilled submission wrestler over a street fighter any day.
The coolest and nicest guy in all of bjj and mma. The world needs more people like him. Cheers dude. I wish I could share a pizza with you. What a different world it would be if people could roll just for the fun of it and share a pizza.
I friggin love this guy... He knows he's a legit executioner, and he still has so much fuckn humility... A TRUE LEGEND in the making .. thank you for allowing me to witness this... My eyes have seen
Although Sousa looks like he is on the attack.....you can see that Mikey is the one in control and attacking on the ground. Fantastic game for both fighters....Fans wins....Love the sportsmanshipg 5:49..Good luck to both Hall of Famers in the future. Great video....keep rockin.
I think we understand it completely fine. Mikey is using the best tactic for the sport but it just looks ridiculous. It's a fighting sport and the champ is making it look really silly. If this is the best tactic I am never putting my kids in this sport. Fuck that.
@@Cokey96 every well rounded fighter trains Jiu Jitsu, otherwise when the Jiu Jitsu guy gets a hold of you you’re finished. Dropping to the floor like that is his individual choice it’s got nothing to do with Jiu Jitsu in general, all Jiu Jitsu matches start from the feet and all good Jiu Jitsu schools teach takedowns
These guys are like mad scientists ! Until there is a new genre of sport BJJ guys that can “deconstruct” the drop to guard specialists, you can’t chastise them for capitalizing on the rules and fighting off the back. Attack the legs from the top or pass.
I wouldn't call this pulling guard, he just dropped into guard. if the other guy did the same then they probably handfight a bit and eventually grab a leg. pulling guard is essentially a reverse takedown, where one drops into guard but pulls the other into it as they drop.
I don’t care that he dropped to his back. He’s a phenom like the Rutolo’s and they will all dominate for years. Don’t forget how young they all are! 🙌🏼
Mikey would leg lock him I under a minute. I love Mighty Mouse by the way, amazing martial artist. But there are levels to grappling and Mikey is on a level up above the level up above ⬆️
Do people just refuse to undesrand this stance works for Mike is because every fighter knows the only way to have a chance is to be aggressive because if Mike walks up on them in the same stance they have no chance?
Everybody that hates that mikey went to the ground right away ( so there is action right away ) maybe should watch a grappling match where two people are stuck on the feet and cant get each other down. Then you find out that this was a good game to watch !
How exactly are you supposed to beat the guy that instantly lays down, and NEVER gets up? Genuine question. It seems like there's nothing you can do about it without putting yourself at a disadvantage. I feel like the people compaining about it aren't even complaining about grappling, they're complaining because it's not really interesting to see a dude trying to engage while the other one just lays there and waits for contact. Maybe someone can help me understand what should Sousa really be doing, because until now, it just looks like Mikey wins because he is laying down.
Mikey is good at BJJ, but it annoys me he calls his matches "fights" when the first thing he does is lay down and spread his legs like my drunk aunt at a christmas party.
Mikey literally tore someone’s leg in one of his last fights. The only fight that night that resulted in long standing damage, out of other martial arts like Muay Thai and boxing. I’d consider that a fight.
@@littlemister96 That analogy doesn’t make any sense. In the grappling fight, two men fought each other and one man tore the other guy’s knee. Winning the match. It wasn’t some random event or occurrence, Mikey got him in a leg lock and broke his leg. That is real damage purposefully placed. Not some random car crash?
Im not gonna start hating on Mikey, but how long is this show gonna let Mikey sit down and force the other guy to dog him, like the formula is so predictible
Mikey is... SPIDERMAN! That's how it would feel to compete against him anyway. A real Spiderman, with 8 legs! SpiderMike, SpiderMike. Friendly neighbourhood SpiderMike. Break your leg if you fight, pop your elbow with a smile. Tap out, here comes the SpiderMike.

While the butt scooting looks ridiculous and won´t work against a real MMA fighter, I can guarantee you that Mikey would catch and break the leg of any comment section casual trying to kick him on the ground ...
That would be a leg lock battle by two experts. Highly technical exchange of grappling…instead he tried to beat Mikey with intensity and passing…Mikey is too good for that.

The best thing to do against a butt scoother is not even engage and run around the ring, forcing them to stand. You should lose points for directly sitting on your azz
Idk how you guys keep clicking on grappling videos, and then complain when theres nothing but grappling. Shut up and watch something else. Why do you keep doing this to yourself?
They're not complaining about it being grappling they'd complaining about people that immediately lay down
Bro stop it No, take down attempt Just immediately Lays on his back Imagine if both fighters just did that You wouldn't be defending it.
That's why no points are awarded for 2 people dropping into guard at the same time and it shouldn't Be awarded to one.
We're always hoping for the best

I have a question what if both fighters drop to the ground on there backs in the beginning of the match ?
They have to engage at some point, if they don't, the judge resets.
This happens in plenty of Jiu-Jitsu matches.

I wouldn't call this pulling guard, he just dropped into guard. if the other guy did the same then they probably handfight a bit and eventually grab a leg.
pulling guard is essentially a reverse takedown, where one drops into guard but pulls the other into it as they drop.
then they're both on the ground already, where 99% of BJJ happens anyway. It just skips the step of trying to get your opponent to the ground.

The ONE grappling rule set encourages sub attempts and discourages stalling. Its definitely more fun than watching a IBJJF match for the most part.
This is not a “fight”. I appreciate the skills but they need to change some rules with pulling guard.
