1. Edited 2. Marcelo is 10 years older. 3. Marcelo hasn't fought in competition for the last 5 years. 4. Marcelo usually competes roughly 25 pounds lighter than Keenan. Marcelo has been the man since 2003, the GOAT, end of discussion.
MG was attacking most the time and was basically getting to his back in the roll. He wasn't going 100% either, he was just working with keenan. Trying to help him learn through the spar, he could care less about winning at this point, he's an educator.
Marcelo would be the last guy to make any excuses. It's BJJ, you roll, you tap people, you get tapped. No one is immune to getting caught no matter what the situation...well maybe Rickson. ;) hehe
This was totally awesome!! Old school vs new school and how it can all work well with one another. Been a huge fan of Keenan for years now. Best of luck to you sir!
To even get to a dominant position with Marcelo says a lot! Great job Keenan! And to all the haters, they are just rolling and Keenan is just showing how he did in a couple exchanges, he's probably proud of how he did with the GOAT!
I see this match differently, I see MG dominating the first 3 minutes, and then the video flips to KC having his back, not doing much only keeping the triangled legs to hold MG. KC is tall, young, lanky, with super human flexibility and an active competidor. MG just travels doing seminars and enjoying life, for the effort he gave in this fight based on the facts above, MG displayed once again why he is the greatest...
This video came in my recommended 10 years after the fact.. 😂 Keenan's so good we're still waiting for him to win an Adcc. Way to edit your roll with a retired grappler though. I'll never forget watching this then when it was uploaded after we saw Marcelo tap him like 5x.
These guys make it look easy. It's like when you watch an NBA game you take for granted that these are the best in the world at what they do. Then, when you see a pick-up game you realize how good the NBA guys are.
I was there that day, Keenan cut all the parts where Marcelo bested him, pretty unhumble shit, not the actions of a jiu jitsu competiter.. Disappointed fan Keenan, Honestly.
I think he uploaded a video with commentary that included more footage, aparently there was something with the camera. He used the security tapes I believe for those gaps.
He uploaded the full video... He didn't cut out the parts where he was losing, the camera died. Also, why does everyone get so defensive over one of the GOAT passed his prime? Just enjoy the competition.
I asked MG about that roll - i asked him how good was Keenan he said he could not say because he was not in competition shape or mode. Which i took it as - if i was at my best..100% when i rolled with him then i could tell you..GOAT answer.
+C.Duncan Sutherland Marcelo's weakness has always been Kennan's style from my perspective. Not necessarily the guard player aspect, but Marcelo will give up an advantageous position in order to keep the flow going. He really only makes "mistakes" per se if he is slowed down. For instance, Kennan held turtle. I've watched enough Marcelo footage to know that in that same position, Marcelo would've rolled. I don't want to say it frustrated MG, but it throws him off his game. The back take (and I'm not taking anything away from Kennan here, its amazing that he took Marcelo "the backpack" Garcia's back) probably was a bit more effective because he used it to slow MG down. Personally, I'm a huge fan of MG's proclivity to keep the movement going. He's fast and loose, but has this incredible kinestetic awareness that I admire. I really enjoy watching him get the sub out of a scramble or use a butterfly hook in a way I've never seen before. It's smooth to me whereas Kennan is tactically brilliant. Two great styles to watch for sure.
Marcelo has gained quite a bit of weight and doesn't look like he is in the best shape. I hope Marcelo decides to compete again one day. he will always be one of my favorite grapplers of all time.
So hard to pick haha. I like Gary. T's game. He ain't no joke that's for sure. Any individual who goes for the submission and doesnt play for points is aces in my book. I would love to see another Gary Tonon vs Kron Gracie match
Sometimes it is hard to understand why people need to argue who is better over who. Both people get what they want to get from a roll. As ordinary peope in bjj from somewhere in the world, may be we could just appreciate what each of them show us here, and take what is useful for us.
Also guys, lets make note of the fact that this was NO GI. How would Marcelo fare against Keenan using the japanese superhero outfit which allows for worm guards and donkey guards and other zoological positions?
Beginner question: At 2:25 : why is Keenan not attacking Marcelo's throat (e.g., rear naked choke)? And why is marcelo not defending his throat with his hands? Is keeping the chin down really sufficient? In my gym everyone would have immediately started choking me...
A few things to note in this scenario, Marcelo's arm is trapped by Keenan's legs. The chin tuck is a good defense, but I would imagine he didn't go for the choke because he was trying to control Marcelo's other arm. The reason for this is Marcelo is trying to prevent that leg triangle with that other hand, which would free his trapped arm. Keenan was trying to avoid this by controlling that other arm.
Why does everybody feel the need to defend Marcelo Garcia? Keenan Cornelius is currently one of the best grappelers on the planet and Marcelo hasn't been competing in a while. Its quite obvious that based on stamina only, the most legendary grapplers on the planet will struggle against people in top condition based purely on stamina alone. There is no shame in that.
+Robert Tomich dude they were friendly rolling you can tell by the intensity or lack there of? Geeesh thats why we dont see too much vids with top ranking guys doing like this,fan boys always comes and talk shit. Its not a comp ,they are not going hard duhhhhhh
+Kalika Putra what in the hell are you talking about? I just want to see more footage dude, relax. I'm a fan of both and jj in general and was curious about how he transitioned to Marcelo's back. You seem the fanboy getting all defensive. I love that elite guys lack the ego to allow people to record, seems like you could learn something from that.
+James Beck who said anything about mma tho? I've noticed on youtube people say irrelevant stuff that has nothing to do with the original comment almost as if to start argument. smh
lucky clan Just say sth irrelevant just to make things look worse then they are. Keenans BJJ wont work in Judo, or boxing, or footbal either, still its outstandingly amazing.
Where's the unedited vid where Marcelo nearly caught you multiple times? Funny how editing a vid makes you look you for the best if him in every exchange. That wasn't the case.
Ken Adams lol dude go look at the video where I commentated over it. This was filmed on a Dslr photography camera , they over-heat and stop filming. This wasn’t edited.
torro56 ruclips.net/video/_pRkYUxw4K0/видео.html it’s right here. this was filmed by someone who stopped to take pictures and cut the clips. Stop being wierd and assuming I needed to edit the video to act like I did well. I can do this well with any grappler in the world. NOW GET OFF MY CHANNEL AND DONT COME BACK
Keenan Cornelius Again y ur panties in a bunch. It looks edit and that’s it. I said wat I said cus it looks like that. Ur the weird one If u can take criticism make ur shit private. At no point I got aggressive or made a negative statement bout u. Weirdo
You all are BJJ ignorant if you think this was anything but training for them. I like Keenan, but Marcelo is by far the best I've seen. Well....besides Rolls that is.... If you never seen him try to find some video and enjoy. Sorry, his name is Rolls Gracie. RIP
Legend has it Eddie Bravo is still winded from rolling with MG
keyboardbeats if I had been drinking a beverage, I would have spit it out. 10/10
lmfao
been lightly chuckling at this comment for the past 5 minutes, thanks bro
LMFAO!
it looks like marcello ate eddie bravo after that match
1. Edited
2. Marcelo is 10 years older.
3. Marcelo hasn't fought in competition for the last 5 years.
4. Marcelo usually competes roughly 25 pounds lighter than Keenan.
Marcelo has been the man since 2003, the GOAT, end of discussion.
Marcelo probably now.. ISN'T on juice. and Marcelo is smaller
If he's the goat then why are you trying to make excuses for him. I know he's the goat so just let it be...
if marcelo fight hard i think that marcelo win, this man is a legend
MG was attacking most the time and was basically getting to his back in the roll. He wasn't going 100% either, he was just working with keenan. Trying to help him learn through the spar, he could care less about winning at this point, he's an educator.
id really like to talk shit about keenan but i really don't want him to find me
I will find you
+Keenan Cornelius loooooooll
forgive him he will not do this again
***** damn it! I'm sorry sir. I'm just a lonely sad troll. please don't hurt me
Allow me,....I hate Keenan,go Marcelo
+Keenan Cornelius Good Luck.
The most relatable part of this is MG picking a mat hair out of his mouth at the end of the roll.
Marcelo would be the last guy to make any excuses. It's BJJ, you roll, you tap people, you get tapped. No one is immune to getting caught no matter what the situation...well maybe Rickson. ;) hehe
The-Art-of-Guitar fuck rickson
This was totally awesome!! Old school vs new school and how it can all work well with one another. Been a huge fan of Keenan for years now. Best of luck to you sir!

Marcelo is a humble man. I could watch these guys roll 24/7.
I see this match differently, I see MG dominating the first 3 minutes, and then the video flips to KC having his back, not doing much only keeping the triangled legs to hold MG. KC is tall, young, lanky, with super human flexibility and an active competidor. MG just travels doing seminars and enjoying life, for the effort he gave in this fight based on the facts above, MG displayed once again why he is the greatest...
+Timothy M. Ewing Keenans a beast but you dont see his guard get passed practically ever and Marcelo does it pretty quick
For me Roger is the greatest but he would be surely top 3 of all times.
They are just rolling guys. It’s not a match or anything.
For MG to take Keenan's back like he does...it's depressing how good this man is.Props to keenan for putting this up...he's a boss too
KEENAN TELL US WHAT ITS LIKE TO ROLL WITH MARCELO. ALSO, I AM NOT YELLING
Why does the clip always get cut after MG has a dominant position?
Christian Solano MG tapped out
you mean most of the video?
Marcelo is a legend & still rolling with current top dogs ....Respect.
whoa! crazy x-guard escape at 1:30 !
Blinding speed.
🤣🤣🤣
This video came in my recommended 10 years after the fact.. 😂 Keenan's so good we're still waiting for him to win an Adcc. Way to edit your roll with a retired grappler though. I'll never forget watching this then when it was uploaded after we saw Marcelo tap him like 5x.
Did he really edit that all out? Thats lame indeed..
These guys make it look easy. It's like when you watch an NBA game you take for granted that these are the best in the world at what they do. Then, when you see a pick-up game you realize how good the NBA guys are.
Haha, yep^^
You have never seen anyone pass Keenans guard so effortlessly. Blew through his guard like a warm summer breeze 😂😂😂😂
it was a pleasure to see these two guys. really technical. nice.
Hamster vs. Octopus
Hahahah
GOAT vs Octopus
I was there that day, Keenan cut all the parts where Marcelo bested him, pretty unhumble shit, not the actions of a jiu jitsu competiter.. Disappointed fan Keenan, Honestly.

Can you tell us more about it pls?
He uploaded the full video... He didn't cut out the parts where he was losing, the camera died. Also, why does everyone get so defensive over one of the GOAT passed his prime? Just enjoy the competition.
Don't make assumptions.
This^^^
nice !! can we get the full video ?
Keenan, thanks for sharing the art! Stay awesome. Your big fans.
Edited.
Thanks for adding, two of the best guys
Thanks Keenan and Marcelo!
good, clean, educational, professional exchange.
I asked MG about that roll - i asked him how good was Keenan he said he could not say because he was not in competition shape or mode. Which i took it as - if i was at my best..100% when i rolled with him then i could tell you..GOAT answer.

+Seth Weidman INCEPTION
teletransport like goku or edit the marcelo garcia crucifix hhahah
I've never seen Marcelo so dominated. It looked as though he had a hard time figuring Keenan's style out.

+C.Duncan Sutherland idiot
bonehead
The Atos team is so beast nowadays. Its no surprise Keenan got so good. Mendes bros, Galvao etc.
Lloyd got him that good! Keenan is a traitor. How did it feel KC not to win at worlds again? Your BJJ is lame.
He betrayed Loyd and Galvao this guy doesn't have any class, but he has good skills on bjj.
Thanks Guys for the teaser!
Marcelo has gained quite a bit of weight and doesn't look like he is in the best shape. I hope Marcelo decides to compete again one day. he will always be one of my favorite grapplers of all time.

nobody can treat the other as just another opponent

As ordinary peope in bjj from somewhere in the world, may be we could just appreciate what each of them show us here, and take what is useful for us.
Regardless, great competition and even better competitors, love to see the respect. Awsome
This is awesome, thanks for sharing Keenan
Wow I can't believe how good keenan is, toying with marcelo
the mats at my gym never seen such h20 like this one!
In my opinion Marcelo is still one of the best jiu jitsu guys out there.
Marcello passed Keenans guard kinda easy.
Also guys, lets make note of the fact that this was NO GI. How would Marcelo fare against Keenan using the japanese superhero outfit which allows for worm guards and donkey guards and other zoological positions?
Aint no shame. Keenan is a world class black belt too.
i'd love to train at MG's academy. vibe seems so chill and positive ++++ correct me if i'm wrong
Why the cuts in video?
Why does the video cut out at x-guard part?
can I have a piece of this tatami ? :o

hey Keenan what really happened at 2:21 ???? lol! pega voce? pescosso?
Ahh yes, good ole Keenan editing the video where he gets dominated 🤣
wow that was awesome two djj guys
Keenan "Stalling" Cornelius
+BJJ Fightholics BS Germanos Team Kappa
Yep
Marcelo is a hero
I truly want to see Marcelo Garcia vs Rafa Mendes
0:05 I cant help but rewind to see if the lady in the background actually wore pants. LOL Damn that beige spats.
but that armey-spaghetti-tie-up-into-armbar though...
Turtle game on point.
damnit.. now I will have to train u and tap keenan with my online training modules.. you have force me out of retirement son
+David Pitts our only hope is the gracies....
Wow! Awesome man
That was cool. Very cool.
Vários cortes na filmagem pq ?
Ladys and gentlemen Mr. Keenan.
Want to see full roll
Is it just me or has Keenan been the only one throughout the history of Marcello's life that actually threatened him a little?
Adrian Monk not really; kron almost got him on a guillotine; braulio and jacare submitted him
ryron vs. kennan
God damn camera issues! Keenan looked impressive as hell. How'd he get the back?
+Robert Tomich dude they were friendly rolling you can tell by the intensity or lack there of? Geeesh thats why we dont see too much vids with top ranking guys doing like this,fan boys always comes and talk shit. Its not a comp ,they are not going hard duhhhhhh

You seem the fanboy getting all defensive. I love that elite guys lack the ego to allow people to record, seems like you could learn something from that.
Is that Gegard Mousasi on the back at 1.29?
i wonder how long would i last rolling against Keenan.
Why the editing?
When they scuttled around on their butts it reminded me of two crabs fighting.
And that is why we dont use black matts. I'm begging someone, anyone to wipe it down, and I usually dont care about it.
Keep it playful .Garcia is the man truly shows a smaller man can win with technic.
Garcia forever!
marcelo is the jesus of bjj
Then who's the Jesus of Jesus?
Moon Light mohammed
Sohil Nanavati
Jesus is the Marcelo of religion
+Jody Lowe Lol
Great stuff.....
Legend Marcelo Garcia
Damn marcelo was about to be armbarred...
Keenan just blew my mind here. He rly showed the beauty of bjj here, absolutly amazing control.
Keenan jitz won't work in MMA.
+James Beck who said anything about mma tho? I've noticed on youtube people say irrelevant stuff that has nothing to do with the original comment almost as if to start argument. smh
lucky clan Just say sth irrelevant just to make things look worse then they are. Keenans BJJ wont work in Judo, or boxing, or footbal either, still its outstandingly amazing.
Rickson laughs at this type of jitz! Get real people.
Play that shit in the cage will only get you smashed.
WOW keenan took the back of the backpacker !
marcelo should come back to competition
Estranho cortar várias partes do vídeo, sou mais Marcelinho, mesmo velho
is that Gegard Mousasi standing next to that girl with the pink top?
marcelo clearly out of shape... did not compete in a lo g time .. cool video though
keenan always keeping it real
goddam, marcelo is awesome
"Camera messed up"
Rear naked chokes not allowed?
Where's the unedited vid where Marcelo nearly caught you multiple times? Funny how editing a vid makes you look you for the best if him in every exchange. That wasn't the case.

Who'd a thunk it. Marcelo saved by the bell ;)
Marcelo got his ass handed to him
Keenan still making them look like blue belts
where do i buy the unedited version
stop editing so much keenan
POLARIS 3
keenan's new name should be turtle man
I would like to see the whole video from start to finish Not Keenan highlights
torro56 hey buddy how about watch the video that exists that has all that. And I didn’t film or edit this so shut up and get off my channel
Keenan Cornelius First off u shut up buddy not on ur channel I looked up Marcelo and this came up. And it definitely looks edited y so offensive then.
