Marcelo is half his size and competed non-stop, threatening the whole time. Against ome of the best of all time. That says a lot about how good Marcello was.
i dunno...this looked a lot like roger putting on a clinic. the final score had to be completely lopsided. marcelo didn't even get back points on that final sweep.
@@mikepreminger Roger lost position (including side control) several times against a guy much lighter and you say a clinic? You probably never fought someone heavier than you and tried a sweep, everything is more difficult due to size and weight
Marcelo is Absolute Legend of BJJ GOATs. No one has ever competed and been consisted in GI/No GI as him. He fought his weight and absolute all the time.
@16thChemical I remember that, also Marcelo took Roger's back for a moment, if I remember that match right. Nobody does that. Both Marcelo & Roger imo are the Greatest of my time.
Os dois melhores da historia se enfrentando! E com uma puta diferenca de tamanho e peso, comparacao injusta levando em conta a vantagem fisica do Roger, mas pra mim, os dois dividem o titulo de "o melhor de todos".
I truly believe that if Marcelo would’ve been his height, he would’ve been the Gordon Ryan of his era. At the highest ranks, length and weight play a HUGE factor in BJJ. Marcelo still kept up and submitted many even at his height, but he would’ve been so dangerous at Roger’s height.
This fight really raises that question, right? Is it size, or is Roger's technique better? If Marcelo was longer, or if Roger were shorter, would the BJJ world be the same? Buchecha was 7kg heavier than Roger when they fought...again, was it Roger's height or his superior technique? I think it will be interesting to see some matches between these guys when they're older
@CaptHandsome42 oh it's Roger Gracie's skill set. Of course Roger being tall and the weight difference is a factor, but look at Ricco Rodriguez vs Marcelo.. Ricco weighs more than Roger and Marcelo was all over him and beat him with a heel hook I believe. Even after Ricco did that back slam on Marcelo. Roger beat everyone of his Era. Marcelo was up there too though. Respect to both Jiu-jitsu Masters. The best of their time.
@@rnkmode1876 The skill gap was way to huge between Ricco and Marcelo though. Weight and height won't matter much when the skill gap is so huge. When the skill gap is closer height and weight matter a lot more. Roger is the GOAT though, no doubt. Gordon Ryan I believe is the GOAT of no gi though.
Diferença de peso é grande aí sendo absoluto na minha opinião Roger Gracie se sai melhor. Ambos tem uma qualidade enorme no jiu-jitsu para mim não tem melhor que os dois.
9:15 why does the referee award 2 pts for Garcia? He is not in guard anymore, so it should be not considered as a sweep, am I wrong? Maybe rules were different in 2004?
Only a 7kg difference. I say "only" but that's about 10% for Marcelo, so it's not insignificant. Roger is just so tall and long, and Marcelo is quite short and stout. Buchecha was about 7kg heavier than Rodger when they fought, but Roger still looks BIGGER next to Buchecha. Big frame, long limbs. Would have loved to see them fight more...could have been a great rivalry.
@@speardjinn5085 Most have Roger as the GOAT in gi jiu jitsu, and Gordan Ryan as the obvious in no gi. Marcelo is generally 2nd in experts opinions though, but he's pretty close to first I'll give him that. He's only slightly behind Roger. I would say he's more popular though, so you're going to have people think Marcelo is the best based on popularity at times even if it's not true.
Maybe because they took his game and added leg locks. They don't want those BJJ fanatics shoppers to realize that and look to Marcelo's instructional instead.
How does the pant leg coming up make a difference in fight ref...how about the belt still wrapped or for that matter unwrapped stay out of the fucking fight!!!!!! Guy wanted to touch them or something. The dumbest shit ever in middle of the fight where feeling something can make all the difference in the movement. Stay away ref!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marcelo is the best grappler of all time roger is the best go grappler of all time. Marcelo is 70 lbs smaller. The ref annoys the shit out of me stop tugging on the go and the belt wtf? Leave it alone.
Is it just me, or is the ref's interfering really annoying? I've watched quite a few BJJ and grappling matches and I've never seen a ref constantly adjusting belts, gis and overall being way too involved. I don't know a lot about competitive BJJ, but something about this ref....
Marcelo is half his size and competed non-stop, threatening the whole time. Against ome of the best of all time. That says a lot about how good Marcello was.
Didn’t see any threat but he indeed defended very well
Half his size? Roger is 14 kg heavier

More like defending the entire time from begin to end. But still did well against the goat. Marcelo was a great in his own right
Marcelo is Absolute Legend of BJJ GOATs. No one has ever competed and been consisted in GI/No GI as him. He fought his weight and absolute all the time.
It's like fighting a monster... kudos to Marcelo for being such a tough fighter
No doubt Marcelo is the greatest grappler of all of them.
He's not, but Marcelo might have been the greatest grappler if he was a little bigger. Overall it was Roger Gracie.
Marcelo is pound for pound GOAT
What a match. Two GOATs battling it out. Marcelo looked close to finishing him when he got his back at the end.
not close at all. Roger is too good.
@@yevgeniyzharinov7473it was clearly close to finish Roger. Of course Roger is too good. But also is Marcelo! Great fight ! Two GOATs!
It was a good position, but not that close to a finish.
4:14 Marcelo escaped from Roger's side control .. despite the disadvantage in his weight.
@16thChemical I remember that, also Marcelo took Roger's back for a moment, if I remember that match right. Nobody does that. Both Marcelo & Roger imo are the Greatest of my time.
I was there for this match.. one of the most amazing experiences of my life.
My 2 favorite grapplers! Amazing match! Marcelo is not human!
Marcelo's defence so sharp. Great figth!!!
2 of the "All Time Greats"
Marcelo é um Monstro. Deu um show de Jiu-Jistu. Categorias diferentes. Sou fã! Parabêns Marcelo!
Great match!!!!!!!!!
Rogers back roll sweep..... Wow.
The hart of Marcelo...
Que luta meus amigos, lembra bem a luta do Roger contra o Demian Maia, Marcelinho um monstro, Roger monstro tbm.
a luta que o Roger mais tomou sufoco na vida foi essa
This was two of the greatest guys in a super technical battle. Fantastic to watch and show that size does not matter on both ends.
Dois monstros, cada um na sua categoria!
Nível técnico altíssimo dos dois.
What a fight!!! Two greats, one winner.
What an amazing match. Not often you see Roger on the bottom not by his choice.
Os dois melhores da historia se enfrentando! E com uma puta diferenca de tamanho e peso, comparacao injusta levando em conta a vantagem fisica do Roger, mas pra mim, os dois dividem o titulo de "o melhor de todos".

Que luta, Esse Marcelo Garcia até perdeu, mas é uma LENDA! Muito menor e dá esse trabalho todo para o Roger Grace!

@@CaptHandsome42 I’m not sure where you got your information but Marcelo was way lighter than just 7 kg

Oss
The two great ones - anyone catch the score?
Coisa linda, história do jiu jitsu
2 of the best ever. Amazing.
You know someone is a legend when the comment section is mostly people complimenting the other guy for putting up a decent fight in a losing effort.
bem raro ver alguém amassar o MG assim. só o roger mesmo.
Roger o mito lenda viva....
Marcelo is a monster. Half of the size and competing against the best competitor of BJJ of all times
That win had everything to do with size and strength.
I didn't see any technique there either
Marcelo Garcia and Royler Gracie. GOAT !!
He gave Roger a tougher match than many others who were larger.
Marcelo unique jitser 💪🔥
Ai foi guerra hein! Dois monstros
3:29 was a beautiful attempt. Marcelo is the man
Roger is the man too Oss 🥋
Roger/buchecha = maiores de todos os tempos!
Marcelinho = melhor de todos os tempo!
The fact that he could not tap Marcelo proves Marcelo is the GOAT.
Goat vs goat
Roger is Great. But Marcelo pound for pound is better.. It was size that got Roger the points. No time limit and I'd give it to Marcelo.
Marcelo is a STUD.
How could Garcia ever grapple like this with such heavy balls?
Marcelo is the man, straight savage
bravo.. Marcelo Gracie
9:15 why does the referee award 2 pts for Garcia? He is not in guard anymore, so it should be not considered as a sweep, am I wrong? Maybe rules were different in 2004?
Rogers like a goddamn Boa constrictor. Insane battle.
Marcelinho é muito absurdo!!
Que luta!
How close was marcelos attempt from the back?
Marcelo Garcia 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Rapaz, o baixinho deu trabalho.
ok Marcello nearly took it but Roger improved after this, the next five years saw him really focus his game.
Marcelo is awesome
Luta do monstros. Oss
Why were these two competing on the first place?
We need a simulator that brings Marcelo up and Roger down (in weight) to meet in the middle. Then let's see. :)
Marcelo is half his size and still gave him a great fight
Only a 7kg difference. I say "only" but that's about 10% for Marcelo, so it's not insignificant. Roger is just so tall and long, and Marcelo is quite short and stout.

@@CaptHandsome42 Actually it was 18kg separating them. Roger competed at 100kg and Marcelo at 82kg - that is a 40lb difference. Marcelo is the GOAT.
@@speardjinn5085 18kg at elite level comp is huge difference

This is one of the only Roger match’s that I see him lose a lot of positions
Roger Gracie is lucky he's gigantic
Embora Roger ganhou
Eu achei que Marcelinho tava melhor nesta luta achei que ele ia ganhar 😊
Pura magia de los 2
o anão é apetitoso em , não se intimidou pelo gigante não
im surprised the two goats putting on such a good scrap didnt create a blackhole in that instant
Marcelo defined jiu jitsu. Win or lose
Caramba Marcelinho era sinistro 😮😮
5:50 ele tava treinando a raspagem com um levinho pra pegar o buchecha na mesma 42 anos depois
How Danaher doesn't even mention Marcelo as the pound for pound best alludes my feeble understanding.
Maybe because they took his game and added leg locks. They don't want those BJJ fanatics shoppers to realize that and look to Marcelo's instructional instead.
he does mention marcelo a lot
watch some of the recent podcasts with Lex Friedman
Roger Gracie o melhor do mundo
Marcelo is the cheat code that everyone uses to win the game.
his tiny legs against a man 6'4 the x guard just not working

juizão da hora! lutão
lb for lb, Marcelo is greater.
Marcelo Garcia veio editado no 99
What a chess match
Um pouco demais mesmo para o MG

Marcelinho é sinistro! O Roger passava o carro ate nos caras gigantes! Nessa luta o pau quebrou de la e de ca!
The ref has the most annoying stance
David vs Golliath!
p4p no one's better than Marcelino
Марсело крутой мужик !!!
Marcelo savage
Annoying ref of the year award goes to this guy
I was rooting for Roger.
Ai chihuahua.
This ref 😂
Esse juiz chato querendo aparecer.
oooss
Man vs child
Funny
Ok so the little guy has a lot to work on when it comes to the basics. And the big guy has many flaws in his game as well.
Just my opinion
