    Gilbert Burns is champion material. Acted like a champion in defeat too. I was stoked for Tonon’s win. Tonon is my favorite jiujitsu guy by far. I think it’d be murder if they met in the an MMA cage though.

      Aren't they a weight class apart in mma? Tonon fights at 155 at ONE and that's without weight cutting. So if he went to UFC they could possibly be 2 weight classes apart.

    Underrated side control escape at the :30 sec mark. He made it look easy, but that was very calculated control of the near side arm. Which led to the escape and prevented the follow up pass attempt by Burns.
    Edit: Jeez He did it like 3 times in a row. Love it.

    They should make a special MMA stars edition, where we would see the likes of Khabib, Tony, Brian Ortega, Charles Olivera and other elite grapplers/submission artists in pure grappling submission games

    Garry Tonon's submission wrestling style looks every time closer and closer to old Catch wrestlers. The guy is re-living history!

      @Kirk Landau Well, if you look at old Jiu-jitsu wrestlers at grappling competitions, or even not that old, say, in 1990s, you'd see mostly slow progression between positions from Guard to Sidemount to Mount etc. Establishing and, especially, holding position were top priorities. Not to mention, leg locks were considered "a dirty trick", and often criticized. Also, people spent very little or no time learning any kind of takedowns, let alone elevated throws. Stand-up wrestling was mostly bodylock based, if even that. Pulling guard was modus operandi in most competitions.
      Finally, to catch a submission: you would work slowly, in incremental steps towards your final submission hold. Movement was slow, very meticulously slow.
      Catch wrestlers on the other hand were known for their fluent transitions between positions, not giving too much prominence to any one position (expect Backmount/Back Riding). The goal was fluency of transitions, not to keep any one position. I.e. if the opponent were to struggle, the main counter was to transition to another position, instead of trying to wrestle to keep the current one. Thus you'd see a lot more "scrambles" taking place in old CACC matches than in BJJ matches. Guard passing was of low priority, because for most Catch wrestlers being in the Guard (or Body-Scissors as they call it) was just another opportunity to go for leg locks. It was like the opponent was 'giving a free leg to the slaughter'. Catch wrestlers were also as versatile in their stand-up attacks (takedowns/throws/stand-up submissions) as Jiu-jitsu wrestlers were in their Guard work. The only time Catch wrestlers fell on their butt voluntarily was to go for leg locks; not for the Guard work itself.
      Finally, to catch a submission: chain wrestling was the name of the game. You would chain your attacks in sequence (sometimes referred to as "Lock Flow", although not all the steps in the sequence were locks per se; often also included controlling dominance), and move with speed; hoping to out-speed the opponent's defensive maneuvers. Non of the attacks were thought to be match finishers by themselves, but the point was to out-speed your opponent, so that with each successive attack, you are a few milliseconds further ahead of your opponent, until it was too late for him to defend a fully secured submission hold.
