Cji was so much better the above 88 kilo wasn't the cream of the crop think they could of gotten better competition but the under 88 kilo division were all studs
You could say that at first glance, but take a good look at it. Nicky and Victor would have been favorites with Pena at ADCC. Nicky Rod beat Pena last ADCC, and has beaten both Luke and Big Dan since. Not to mention several of the other over 88kg CJI competitors left their ADCC bracket for CJI. Other than maybe Kaynan and Pena, the over 88 bracket was just as competitive as any of the ADCC brackets 88 and above. I mean even Max Gimenis smashed big Dan very recently.
I’ve never watched a ju jitsu event ever, I’ve always found it to be a super gay and boring sport, but I watched the whole CJI, and it was all cause of Craig’s run of promos leading up to it. Especially with that ju jitsu Borat guy. I still thought it was gay as hell, but it was only kinda boring. They didn’t all just drop to their ass and hug each other, I’m def gonna watch the next CJI too.
Once you publish your book with Spines you will also be given a 1 sq. foot plot of land in Scotland and you can put Lord or Lady on your business cards.
Yea, Craig Jones just needs to keep getting donations of millions of dollars every year, and he can keep putting on the tournament. There's no other way it's happening.
Pffff...people need to shut up about this. The only reason CJI happened and was offered to people for free is that an anonymous rich guy gave Craig Jones $3 million. The CJI business model is to get a huge charity donation and make no attempt to earn a profit, and that doesn't sound sustainable.
@@evanburgess8428what are you talking about? They only streamed the opening round of the +99kg weight class. During that stream they were commentating one match while showing a different one on screen. Afterward, they only showed a couple matches after they had already happened.
CJI just had multiple matches that everyone is debating whether they are literally the greatest ju jitsu matches in the history of earth. Chael chooses to talk about gordan ryan versing nobodies.
Wouldn't say Pena is a nobody, Pena also got robbed in that match though but that's another conversation, but he definitely isn't a nobody. You're bang on with everything else though.
Knowing a few people in team New Wave I'll tell you that his health was the worst of any adcc. His knees were badly damaged and his stomach was also in terrible condition. Just showing up and barely winning was all he could apparently do at that time.
One day, when it’s all said and done, many will quietly and some will publicly give Gordon Ryan his due as both the greatest and most dominant. It takes a lot of denial and a lack of genuineness to make a case for any other BJJ athlete over Gordon.
I hear you Uncle Chael. What is Gordon's overall outlook on things? He's obviously built a uniquely incredible legacy thus far within the SPORT. You're talking about global recognition? Anyway, I've got a few techniques I really want to run by you at the BBQ. How's your back Unc?
Gordon won 21-0 in a rule set where points are scored in only half the match... Regardless if someone "likes" Gordon...he is the very best in the sport factually. He has beat or would beat every player in the CJI statistically. Nicky won CJI...and lost multiple times to Gordon, not to mention Nicky R was Gordons student (Nicky stated this previously). CJI was a fun event, with big prizes and statistically second rate competition. Where the very best compete is where the best is...ADCC still has the best. Money doesn't prove legacy. This is said using logic without emotion.
Chael would be the only one to come off the weekend talking about Gordon Ryan and ADCC after the promotion of the sport was just flipped on it’s head. Chael talks non stop about how it’s not the best guys who get to the top but the ones who promote themselves and Craig just put on a masterclass.
Gordon passing Yuri's guard like a knife through hot butter and smiling giving his leg to Yuri just to pass again then taking his back after. If thats not dominant then i dont know what is. Chael has no idea what hes talking about 💀
21 to zero is a result of Gordon 'gaming' the rule-set. Mount - put your foot back into 1/4 guard - pull it out = 4 more points. Do that 4 times ... 16 points. He 'gamed' it. It's very simple.
He does it to wear his opponents down as well. It makes them work hard to keep defending over and over like that. Smart he just resets it forces them to keep doing it over and over.
That and also he's on steroids. And if they are legal in BJJ then it becomes war of the juice and who's on the better gear has a great advantage so I can never take this guy seriously until the steroids r banned n he tests clean.
@@RubbersPVP Large amounts of steroids are not an advantage in mma. Taking a large bodybuilder/powerlifter dose causes to much of a pump, tightness and lose of endurance. Craig Jones said he takes 200 test, 100 deca, 50mg of anavar a day, which by bodybuilding standards is nothing, guys won't keep pushing the dosages to crazy levels as no benefit
@@claysoccer ur out of ur mind. It depends on how you use them. Of course u would not train with them like a body builder you would Taylor your stack to what ur doing and focus on speed, strength, fast twitch, explosion. It helps with everything..helps with wait management helps with eating enough, helps with recovery immensely so u can train more, twice as much. It literally helps you in every single way do not think mma is any different than any other sport.

It helps u be more athletic in every sense word and helps u train twice as much. To say this shows u know nothing of the subject. Oh did I mention hekps cardio too? Steroids are used in every sport to make u better at it. Cyclists, runners, everyone benefits from it ur so wrong lol
You know what’s funny? I had never even heard of ADCC (or whatever tf it’s called) before I heard about it through CJI interviews 😂 You know what’s even funnier? I watched CJI both Friday and Saturday instead of buying the UFC pay-per-view and I’m not even a fan of jiu jitsu. It was just more interesting and different to me than the UFC card was and I was pleasantly surprised. CJI cost me nothing to watch and I still gave about $30 to charity over the course of the 2 days. I had fun watching, felt good about donating to it without breaking the bank, and watched the ufc highlights for free on RUclips after 👍 CJI did exactly what it was meant to do. Steal MMA fans viewership to get them interested in jiu jitsu and it worked on me!
@@charleswalker2484 nice!! I dont know about you but I would gladly watch a CJI tournament once a year 🫡 whole event just felt GOOD. It felt important and morally ethical. I didn’t even really understand what tf was going on but it felt ethical knowing that everybody was paid appropriately and actually a lot of solid finishes! Was fun to watch people go at it chasing after that million and felt even better knowing that they all got at least $10,000 to participate for the weekend.
@@Wellspring213 I only learned of that after watching it. I just wanted to see a jiujitsu competition. ADCC seemed boring to me when i tried to watch it. Also the leg/heel locks seem to ruin it a bit too. It's crazy to get a permanent injury in a sport.
I didn't even know Gordon participated in ADCC this year lmao I thought he is still sick. Good job promoting ADCC!!! I watched CJI though and it was awesome!
You can win a jiujitsu match after being scored on , I don't think that having a mercy rule is beneficial for the sport and I think it kinda of goes against the spirit of jiujitsu
@@thomasthellamas9886well I commented with 28 seconds of the video being posted, but the fact Uncle Chael has made this same video about Jon Jones, I already knew what he had to say.
I don't think you can call Gordon Ryan the most dominant athlete in the world. Only two million people do bjj and most do it as a hobby and don't compete. Professional jiu-jitsu athletes if they aren't the winner of the tournament get paid extremely poorly if at all.
Great analysis, Chael! I totally agree with you! I think he is like 60-0 now. Think about that? He’s fought 60 ( or so ) of the world’s BEST Jiu Jitsu champions in the past five years and has NEVER lost in the past 60-ish straight matches. Love or hate him, objectively speaking, that is just unheard of in ANY sport!
I agree with Uncle Chael's commentary. However, I do not believe Gordon Ryan will get sponsored by any major name brand companies due to the fact that Gordon Ryan uses PED's. Gordon Ryan is phenomenal! He is truly the best BJJ competitor in No-Gi competition. For sure! But I just don't see any major companies sponsoring/endorsing him due to the use of PED's.
The crazy enigma with Gordon Ryan is that he seems to be elite everywhere. And if you are able to find someone better than him somewhere, Gordon has 15 other ways to go. It's crazy...
Not to take away from Gordon, because I do believe he's the best grappler on the planet, he did game the system to get most those 21 points. He simple moved one leg from mount to half guard and back over and over while he was in a dominant position. He would have won the match on points anyway, but it would have been more like a 6-0 or 9-0 without him racking up points by gaming the half guard to mount and back. (Again, I'm not bashing on Gordon. He used the rules to his advantage and fair play to him. I'm just pointing out a fact and possibly a flaw in the scoring system in ADCC.)
Great video sir.. I agree that Gordon dominated the match but with ADCC rule set, it shouldn't have been so high of a score.. Gordon entered and re-entered his foot in the hip area to rack up points which IMO shouldn't have been such a high score. He definitely dominated the match but I think with the technically in the scoring point system, shouldn't have been so high.. he's definitely going to have his hands full next Super Fight with Kanen Duarte. I think Kanen Duarte will give him a run for his money in 2026 or if he accepts Nicky Rodriguez offer to fight for a million dollars. Yes he did best Nicky Rod a few years ago but Nicky has gotten way better than last match
@camaranpayne5355 Yes she did, she also came 5th as a -1100 favourite for gold. I don't recall Bolt, Phelps etc ever being that big of a favourite and coming 5th their entire careers. Simone did it just the other day.
@@matlenaghan7488 she won 5th in one event.. the balance beam 😂. Not overall. Stop degrading if you don't know Olympics. Balance beam isn't her best feats just like back strokes is not Phelps best feat and 400 is not Bolts best feat.
Some days we have days where we post 12 vids on youtube and god only knows how many more on other platforms. 12 here one day then golly. Ole Unc.C could possibly post up to 40+ vids/posts ina day. We love ya Unc.C. Be u,Be coo,Be true. Ots all of u.
That is one of the impressive things about Khamzat Chimaev, he lost a total of 8 points in 24 wrestling matches in Sweden (2 points in 12 matches in the nationals). In MMA he has 100% take down defense in 13 fights over five years, I don't even know if he has ever lost even one round of the 20 he has fought.
Seems plausible@@traditionalisttolkienist but when I asked a chatbot it claimed he didn't. I don't know where to look for official scores. 18 rounds out of 20 isn't anything to be ashamed of either.
People been hating on Gordon since day 1. Always got excuses for why he wins or always got a gun that'll beat him. Stop hating...gordon has earned his keep. The man is the best. Had been long time. He will fall one day...but wgat hechas done is ridiculously hard and as chael said: i hope someone up high realizes how unbelievable his achievement is and salutes it. Amazing.
Jon Jones has been undefeated his entire career, is the youngest champ in UFC history and has beaten every person he has ever faced. Gordon has lost many times just not since 2018. Jones #1, Ryan #2, Bilas #3 for current athletes still competing.
He was in three-quarter mount. And he kept pulling his leg in and out of half guard to get the points. He did it about 3 to 4 times. It wasn’t like he did anything spectacular for the points.
I hate that everyone gives gordon a pass for fucking his own stomach up by injecting hgh for 5 years. In JIU-JITSU we are all hurt, injured and have health problems. Stop feeling sorry for some rich kid who gets to train all day and has never had a 9 to 5 job. Some of the guys he beats are full time employees at some jobs and full time parents. Some dudes have cancer and other problems.I dont hear anyone making excuses except gordon. When its his own fault. When you take short cuts in life, you reap the consequences. Weird how he never had these problems 6 years ago.
CJI was so.much better the rounds the scoring guys couldn't just get a couple point lead and hang on to win . Several matches a guy was down 2 rounds and got a sub in the 3rd . The alley is better to do jiu-jitsu in no more running out of bounds
Gordon's best days are behind him not making any value statements, just saying it like it is he looked gassed and sloppy missed several subs and positions lack of mobility had a great run changed the game
So I can agree with the majority of what Uncle Chael is saying on a technical fall type of situation. But in submission grappling there is always that small chance of the losing competitor getting that sub. Example, when my son was 7 years old he was getting destroyed by his opponent. He was down 12-0, coach yells out “there is 30 seconds left, you have to submit him”. My boy nods his head and grabs a belly down arm bar down to the buzzer and wins. Everyone watching around the mats went bonkers. Just saying, it happens.
Uncle Chael doesnt know that you can mount, feed your foot and take it back for points. Same can be done from the back from going to body lock to hooks
The entire time i listened to you praise gordon, all i could think about was the video where i wayched him roll w jon jones, and it just makes me more and more sure jon is THE guy
Michael doesn't hold a single record anymore. Someone has beaten every one of them. Hardly dominant, maybe dominant years ago back when he held records. The sport moved forward since then.
Gordon tore his ACL in the pena match before he fought yuri Only match we want to see is a healthy well prepared gordon with an equally healthy and well prepared mason fowler...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was a Gordon Ryan Instagram follower until he started promoting some gym apparel or something, using some "models" with more plastic than an Indian river.
I like watching because I like watching mutants the amount of steroids going on in bjj, adcc, cji is next level and should be studied. No matter how good I think I am, I'll never be competitive if I did compete, my main concern would be someone's acne popping and hitting my face.
Tldw; BJJ needs tech falls. Things though.... Simone competes at the Olympics, where they at least try to make an even playing field. Gordon is straight up like, you come to me, you play my rules. Admittedly on roids. I mean yeah obviously he's extremely good. But like, I guess he was on that weird Craig guy's card? Was this match a work too if it was? I also didn't know BJJ matches even had points. As said, worst part of BJJ is watching it. When did this happen?
Having the best defense wasn't it , he had boring matches and didn't do adcc any favors with his lackluster matches. The whole adcc was not it, and cji took over the sport with only one event 🙄

I think Kanen Duarte will give him a run for his money in 2026 or if he accepts Nicky Rodriguez offer to fight for a million dollars. Yes he did best Nicky Rod a few years ago but Nicky has gotten way better than last match
Just that part of the cycle
Simone biles in the olympics that was just on was the -1100 favourite and came 5th.
She won a silver
@camaranpayne5355 Yes she did, she also came 5th as a -1100 favourite for gold.
I don't recall Bolt, Phelps etc ever being that big of a favourite and coming 5th their entire careers.
Simone did it just the other day.
@@matlenaghan7488 she won 5th in one event.. the balance beam 😂. Not overall. Stop degrading if you don't know Olympics. Balance beam isn't her best feats just like back strokes is not Phelps best feat and 400 is not Bolts best feat.
@@camaranpayne5355 Who said overall? Learn to read.
She was -1100 fav and came 5th, that is literally unheard of across all sports throughout history.
@@matlenaghan7488 again who cares if she still won silver overall!!
i don't watch wrestling and jiu-jitsu like this... but Chael got me pumped lol.. gotta do more research
If adcc just payed better we would be dealing with a whole different landscape for bjj
Some days we have days where we post 12 vids on youtube and god only knows how many more on other platforms. 12 here one day then golly. Ole Unc.C could possibly post up to 40+ vids/posts ina day. We love ya Unc.C. Be u,Be coo,Be true. Ots all of u.
That is one of the impressive things about Khamzat Chimaev, he lost a total of 8 points in 24 wrestling matches in Sweden (2 points in 12 matches in the nationals). In MMA he has 100% take down defense in 13 fights over five years, I don't even know if he has ever lost even one round of the 20 he has fought.
I think he lost the second round vs Burns and Usman.
Seems plausible@@traditionalisttolkienist but when I asked a chatbot it claimed he didn't. I don't know where to look for official scores. 18 rounds out of 20 isn't anything to be ashamed of either.
People been hating on Gordon since day 1. Always got excuses for why he wins or always got a gun that'll beat him. Stop hating...gordon has earned his keep. The man is the best. Had been long time. He will fall one day...but wgat hechas done is ridiculously hard and as chael said: i hope someone up high realizes how unbelievable his achievement is and salutes it. Amazing.
Jon Jones has been undefeated his entire career, is the youngest champ in UFC history and has beaten every person he has ever faced. Gordon has lost many times just not since 2018. Jones #1, Ryan #2, Bilas #3 for current athletes still competing.
We need more population statistics updates from Uncle Chael
Unk Chael sits around & rambles for 10 mins for the 💰. Gotta love it
Dont do drugs kids.
He was in three-quarter mount. And he kept pulling his leg in and out of half guard to get the points. He did it about 3 to 4 times. It wasn’t like he did anything spectacular for the points.
Gordon is impressive but this weekend i was actually paying attention not falling asleep becouse cji was straight fireworks!!
I hate that everyone gives gordon a pass for fucking his own stomach up by injecting hgh for 5 years.
In JIU-JITSU we are all hurt, injured and have health problems. Stop feeling sorry for some rich kid who gets to train all day and has never had a 9 to 5 job. Some of the guys he beats are full time employees at some jobs and full time parents. Some dudes have cancer and other problems.I dont hear anyone making excuses except gordon. When its his own fault. When you take short cuts in life, you reap the consequences.
Weird how he never had these problems 6 years ago.
People will remember his name. Worth it?
CJI was so.much better the rounds the scoring guys couldn't just get a couple point lead and hang on to win . Several matches a guy was down 2 rounds and got a sub in the 3rd . The alley is better to do jiu-jitsu in no more running out of bounds
I think that was brilliant presentation Uncle Chael👏 Enjoyed it very much with your insight, set up & passion here ofc🤟💯💪
SI won’t talk about it because if they’re printing an article about anything in the sport from the last weekend it’s CJI.
I didn’t pay any attention to ADCC this year. I was so captivated by CJI. The only match I really want to see is Gordon vs Craig. CJI rule set!
Chael, rewatch Ruotolo vs Tackett on CJI
Jiu-jitsu is different because it not solely a point based sport. Even if the point spread is high a submission can win the match.
Gordon's best days are behind him
not making any value statements, just saying it like it is
he looked gassed and sloppy
missed several subs and positions
lack of mobility
had a great run
changed the game
But talk about the Pena match, won by 2, AFTER Pena had 2 matches that day and Ryan was fresh.
I've literally been behind 21 matches before and achieved the eight submission attempt.
Be interesting to see how Gordon would do in collegiate or freestyle wrestling if he trained those disciplines for a yr
So I can agree with the majority of what Uncle Chael is saying on a technical fall type of situation. But in submission grappling there is always that small chance of the losing competitor getting that sub. Example, when my son was 7 years old he was getting destroyed by his opponent. He was down 12-0, coach yells out “there is 30 seconds left, you have to submit him”. My boy nods his head and grabs a belly down arm bar down to the buzzer and wins. Everyone watching around the mats went bonkers. Just saying, it happens.
Uncle Chael doesnt know that you can mount, feed your foot and take it back for points. Same can be done from the back from going to body lock to hooks
The entire time i listened to you praise gordon, all i could think about was the video where i wayched him roll w jon jones, and it just makes me more and more sure jon is THE guy
I’m sure the stress of the CJI being so successful has nothing to do with Gordon having an upset tummy
Man! that video is hilarious 😂
Gordon must’ve let Uncle Chael take Nat for a spin
To be fair Gordon was racking up points by going back and forth to half guard.
Micheal Phelps being most dominant is worth a shout
Michael doesn't hold a single record anymore. Someone has beaten every one of them.
Hardly dominant, maybe dominant years ago back when he held records. The sport moved forward since then.
Craig Jones is the greatest thing to ever happen to BJJ. Apparently even Gordon Ryan likes to watch the B-team bulls, but I think he missed the CJI.
BJJ is the golf of combat sports
Heading over to BJ Fanatics to get Chael Sonnens Instructional.
Sure but, Gordons 2 points on Pena was a gift from adcc to protect their number 1 star.
How long would a match last if the only way to win is submission or tapout?
Hélio Gracie and Waldemar Santana fought for three hours and 45 minutes in 1955.
Still won't put up 1 mil for the bet match with Nicky Rod :)
Gordon had a torn LCL beats better people than the comp in Nicky’s division for Cji which is basically Adcc rejects lmao
That last line gave me chills.
Chael you forgot to mention that gordan Ryan accomplished all of this, as a gay man
Someone is jelly.
Gay projecting
We want that 2 mil Dollar fight.
Gordon tore his ACL in the pena match before he fought yuri
Only match we want to see is a healthy well prepared gordon with an equally healthy and well prepared mason fowler...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I watched one of Gordon’s matches and he actually looked tired, it just seemed weird.
I was a Gordon Ryan Instagram follower until he started promoting some gym apparel or something, using some "models" with more plastic than an Indian river.
Anyone want to inform Chael that Gordon took his foot out and put it back in multiple times to score all his points
Pena just for whatever reason seems to be the only guy Gordon struggles with.
21 points all racked up by him taking one hook in and out the whole time
And what about the fact he never submitted Pena…and that 2 points in OT is laughable
Craig Jones disrupted it all. CJI stole the shine and that should be talked about.
Gordon vs. josh Saunders 2 months ago, Gordon via heel hook
listening to Chael is like "pulling a tooth"....
Just a dumb scoring system. Moving between mount and 3/4 is simply a too effective way to collect point.
He explained why in his FLOGRAP interview!
Uncle Chael you realize he beat Peña at 70% health right?
I like watching because I like watching mutants the amount of steroids going on in bjj, adcc, cji is next level and should be studied. No matter how good I think I am, I'll never be competitive if I did compete, my main concern would be someone's acne popping and hitting my face.
But will he accept Nicky Rod's call out???
Chael really having no idea about his audience with that ad.
Tldw; BJJ needs tech falls.
Things though.... Simone competes at the Olympics, where they at least try to make an even playing field. Gordon is straight up like, you come to me, you play my rules. Admittedly on roids. I mean yeah obviously he's extremely good. But like, I guess he was on that weird Craig guy's card? Was this match a work too if it was?
I also didn't know BJJ matches even had points. As said, worst part of BJJ is watching it. When did this happen?
What’s even more amazing about GR is that he’s all Natty
Having the best defense wasn't it , he had boring matches and didn't do adcc any favors with his lackluster matches. The whole adcc was not it, and cji took over the sport with only one event 🙄
Craig jones
