Great example of what’s good about both wrestling and Brazilian Juijitzu. The power, base, and violence of action in wrestling and the technical deadliness of BJJ. Learn both.
I train both and I can tell you that BJJ is mostly pointless, Gordan Ryan is just on a shit tonne of steroids so he's able to out strength people like he did with Bo to get the submission.
@@LOGANoAce Yeah if this was MMA. Admittedly, Gordon wouldn't make it out of round 1 in MMA. He doesn't know how to strike, he doesn't know how to block, and while yes he absolutely would try and take it to the ground, what he isn't used to is getting knees in the head and ribs, and getting punched in the face while trying to grapple.
Def a trap. But I dont know if gordon expected him to push him away, and then slam him. I think he was expecting bo to jump his back or try to put in hooks or something, but when Bo threw him he started crawling towards him which was so interesting
I have to admit when there was about 7 minutes left on the clock, I just started skipping forward to see if anything happened. Bo was literally just standing there slapping Ryan away and not attempting any takedowns (I know the reason why but it leaves us with a situation where he's just trying to avoid being taken down for 15 minutes) And it's obvious Ryan can't take him down in a traditional way so it's kind of an an impasse.
I love Bo but honestly Gordon’s technique is just mind blowing to me it’s like he can fast forward everything in his mind before he makes a move! Super hero like 👊🏼🔥
and if bo could throw a punch, Gordon would be knocked out within 30 seconds. And if it was just wrestling, Gordon Ryan isn’t strong enough. Everytging other than bjj is 🥱

I’ve never seen someone play it THAT safe. But I see the strategy in that. Also BO is scary explosive-strong I was in shock lol. Gordon is a technical master and got the triangle which was outta nowhere.
What I can say is that getting rid of any types of guard pulls and all leg submissions is a huge disadvantage for Gordan. This is because the main thing different from BJJ and wrestling is that you can use guard and attack for submissions, some of the best being those attacking the legs. This made it as close to wrestling as possible with very little difference only being you can submit. What I'm trying to say is that this gave a major disadvantage to Gordan throughout the match.
I wouldn't say it's a huge disadvantage. There are a thousand other submissions that can easily be setup that aren't leglocks. It just makes it a bit more fair. It's still very unfair for Bo but it's slightly more fair (and way more safe for him) since he doesnt have to worry about leglocks.
@@justinha9846exactly. So goes to Show Gordon is the best at using his technique. He is just not the best then. Cause the best of the best would have got it done quick even with modified rules.

I'm a Judo player and I used to love it when wrestlers would come to our dojo in their off season. I learned a lot from wrestlers about avoiding the take down and I was able to apply it to my Judo in many different ways.

It always used to make me laugh when JJ players would compete against other disciplines and say, SEE, JJ is better.

Push and get clear is wrestling. Get up, get your legs back, square up. Nobody goes to an NCAA match and says "ok, you guys start. Red is on top in the bow and arrow position". Nickal is probably #3 or #5 in the world freestyle if he were still wrestling. And still clean.
The rule set to me was more of an exhibition my thoughts are the rule set was to protect Bo because he’s a UFC fighter and wanted the experience of facing the best vs the risk of getting injured Just goes to show how versatile Jiu Jitsu can be even modified
Yeah Gordon takedowns were so versatile I learned something new from all his 2 technique. Also the Leg scissors Gordon were using are a high risk move that could end very badly...
Two great athletes. I thought it was entertaining and enjoyed the limitations of the ruleset and their effect on strategy. Not surprised with the outcome.
@@Ben-iz9ud He’s correct. They’re all on gear because if they’re not, they can’t be competitive at that level. I’m 36 and I’m trying to break into our local BJJ competitive scene, and I’m starting to realize that I might need a little gear just to compete against guys who aren’t decrepit.
Both guys proved their point in a way. Bo said If I dont engage you can't take me down and then Gordon said "Haha my rules motherfucker you have to engage with me"
Two of my favorites going at it. Bo, being an absolute dog and looking to challenge himself, and Gordon, being the cream of the crop at the top, and being a great leader and example for this sport.
This is still beyond impressive for Bo to come in and actually compete with one of the greatest BJJ practitioners in history. If Bo polishes his striking, there aren't many dudes at 185 that can beat him.
Bo showed his get away skills and impasse skills. But.....I will say not getting submitted for as long as he did is good I guess. Granted Gordon couldn't do half his skill set to make it even for Bo. So I guess we can call it half good
I would say that the rules were HEAVILY in favor of Bo. Pretty much bout all he did was push Ryan away and squirm to escape when Ryan caught him. It was obvious that he wasn't trying to win, he was just stalling. He did one suplex, which was nice, but then immediately got away again because he had no real idea of how to actually win the match. Even with the rules limiting Ryan, once he got ahold of something other than his legs (which he couldn't use to finish the match), it was over as expected. I would be interested in a rematch if Bo took some time to fully train in jiu-jitsu and they had a straight up match to truly test his skills.
@@DogginsFroggins You could say the same for pretty much every other legitimate martial art??? Wrestling is superior to bjj in mma and in street fights.

@@dukenukem7043 unintentionally that was the ref's fault for not calling it. When you're in a fight I don't think you're looking where your knees going. You're not going to sit there and throw a knee and be like oh man I think I caught nut
@@sanktumtomb5659 yeah i get that. But its cringe that Bo is denying everything. like he would be 100x more likeable if he just owned it. but the fact that he's making up stories and stuff makes him look bad
@@sanktumtomb5659 unintentional, maybe. But Bo knew where it landed. When you knee someone like that, you feel it connect. There's no way he didn't know. It was a knee straight up between the legs, into the cup. It wasn't a glancing shot like in the Jones/Gane fight. What would have happened if Cyril jumped straight on Jon's neck while he was holding his nuts, who'd be wearing the belt today. Fair is fair. Bo knew what happened.
You guys didn’t see the angle very well😂 It was definitely just outside the Steel Cup they wear. As well as like 3 fights later, Jon took a full on kick to the dick and still won in under 2 minutes…😂 Don’t think it had a fight ending magnitude.
@@DefinitelyDefense What is the point of Bo being there if he did absolutely nothing the entire match? He was so afraid of going to the ground that he had to be taunted to do anything. People still defend Bo here, but it's funny that three times Gordon took Bo down, and yet the Bo does nothing offensive. Running away until the very end was his plan basically
Leg locks have always been apart of wrestling, plus they were not considered bjj like techniques and frowned upon....Just ask Josh Barnett and Dean Lister who were the 1st ones to popularize leg locks in BJJ in the early 2000s.
@@siavosh87 Definitely not the case. If neither of them do striking it is all guessing who would have won. Striking from the feet would be neutral and striking from the ground I would say the jiu jitsu would play a large roll. Would love to see it an MMA match between them.
@@MackTrainingAcademy the striking probably favors the wrestler more for just a ground and pound situation. Wrestling is all about pressure and control. A good ground and pound is all about keeping a dominant position over your opponent , so it fits wrestling perfectly. Also if you’re experiencing a ground and pound wrestling would probably help you get back to ur feet than bjj. The only advantage bjj has is potential submissions, but those already exist without the striking.
Actual commentary “Can you imagine the memes if Bo Nickals able pull this off? I-I can’t even imagine the- the- the torrent of memes that are gonna come out on the internet” “Well that’s why it’s so impressive that both of these guys take on this match”
The fact that he held his own that long against one of the best submission grappling of all Time while not being well versed in submissions is very impressive
Yeah and less if Bo punched him in the face as he pulled guard 🙄. The whole pulling guard part of BJJ is what holds back the sport imo. Don’t get me wrong wrestling needs some rule adjusting too but watching people put themselves in horrible positions because you can get away with it if someone can’t stomp your face or punch you is not the intention of the grappling art
They would probably drop some of the modified rules and Gordon would just go for a leg lock. Size and experience difference is too much for even Bo Nickal.
Gordon took so many steriods he hospitalized himself and they are in Gordons domain. Bo is far superior overall on a fair playfield. Bo would go further in an mma career than Gordon.
@@t-pentylchloride1921 Neither of them could strike because its grappling... but I would wager with striking Gordon would have killed him. Bo's striking is not great.
BJJ didn't even do leg locks until about 20 years ago,small part of overall jujitsu. Rolls Gracie tapped, a gold medalist wrestler over and over without them
@@aronnemcsik bicep slicer...is still the option im eluding to first here...i know bout no leg attacks just i dont get why gordon did not go for a few others as well...
@@EBMproductions1 Oh ok. didn't meant to be rude sorry. I think he didn't go for it because it was too risky. Might be that Bo was just closing angles really well or just didn't want to risk a serious back exposure.
I went into jiu jitsu as a state and national wrestler. it helped me immensely. I was grappling and sparring with brown belts pretty easily within the first month. After a year I was destroying them.
@Young97Gun they are elite. So we want to see an elite match. That's like watching Jordan and LeBron have a 20 minute 1v1 but you can't dunk or shoot a 3 and there is no shot clock. It just ended up looking like 1 guy unwilling to commit to grappling when you are there to see who is the better grappler.
@@mrscoob3450 yeah and no one wants to watch Gordon pulling guard and sliding on his ass for 15 minutes. As far as the rules your complaining about then how about just make it a MMA fight and we’ll see how it goes. Your boy ended up winning by submission anyways so what’s the problem?
i love how john danaher just walks across the mat with his sneakers on without a care in the world. the fact that he's wearing a fanny pack makes it so much better.
Bo went into this at a huge disadvantage. Bo’s only real way of scoring points was a take down, considering as a wrestler he’s not trained in submissions. So he got stuck dancing around because once he’s on the ground Gordon could start working submission and all bo can do is try to defend them.
Shh..on paper Gordon should have won in the 1st 2 minutes..so that didn't happen..he got tossed like RagDoll & an Olive Garden SALAD...I considered it a big Will for Bo..& Gordon Knows it..if they go Again..Bo will Beat Dat @$$ you Watch..🤡🧐🙀🙀😄🤣
That's what you get from calling people out that are above your skill level. Rules to make it even is B.S. if it were leg locks this match would have been over in the first 2 minutes. Very entertaining!!!👍💯💨
I think it’s cool and love both these guys, and sure in a wrestling ruleset Bo wins, Ryan wins in bjj but I think it’s still cool to see. Both guys are awesome for putting this on. Can’t wait to watch bo in ufc saturday
I wouldn't say that, I would say he seemed unbothered by the idea of losing since he was sure it wouldn't happen, but genuinely pretty frustrated by his takedown attempts failing to result in him getting to a dominant position. He makes this face every time his prey got away lol
@@DavidFrycSaber It was kind of a pointless match, because Bo could never submit him, and Gordon could never take him down. So its really just a stalemate.
@@DavidFrycSaber More likely that he unbothered by any position Bo gets on him. Bo is too green for submission grappling and someone like Ryan would eat him with whatever position Bo lands in. You can clearly see this by Gordon pushing the action with his ass at Bo. Handicapped rules as well to protect Bo. Its all very clear
@@graze-plays3594 Everyone? Maybe many, but some folks actually care more about their long term health than some temporary ego attachments. Bo was probably not on the sauce here.
It's ridiculous how just buy being a Jiujitsu artists, it shuts down complete wrestling takedown of the world class wrestler 🤣. Like at 9:37 for an example 🤣 Noting beats jiujitsu, but jiujitsu.
He prevented Gordon from doing everything that made him successful & complained about losing by advantage in a 2-2 match where half the human body was off the table at the outset lol
Yeah, I thought that was pretty goofy to be honest, like some Gracie challenge where you have a match with someone but you implement a modified rule set as a handicap, I get that there is a huge skill gap and they were trying to make things interesting, but I feel that it’s kind of dumb to challenge someone to a jiujitsu match and then prevent them from using leg locks and pulling guard. It would have been different if Bo was also not allowed to do those things, but with that rule set, he was allowed to freely engage in leg locks with little risk since his own legs were free from attack. Just seems really goofy, it would be like challenging Jon Jones to an mma match, but Jon isn’t allowed to go for take downs or submissions but the other guy can. You’re not facing the entire guy.
It’s because this was jujutsu which Gordon is much better at, its his martial art. This was too make it fair for Bo nickel whose a wrestler and hasn’t trained jujutsu as long. If we had Gordon wrestle, Bo it would be tilted in Bo’s favor like this was tilted in Gordons.
I think this sport should change the format. Just let each guy take turns grabing a leg and then try to break it. Kinda like slap fighting does with slaps.
I must be missing something. Everyone seemed awed by the suplex, ... that Gordon basically gave Bo. He literally backed up into him with his hips. Sure he may not have expected the suplex, but it's not like Bo had to fight to get it either. It was handed to him. Aside from that, Gordon had restrictions. Did Bo have any? For a wrestler he never once went for a take down. He pretty much just guarded against it himself. I'm clearly ignorant to wrestling as I'm sure everyone knew what they were cheering about but it was definitely not obvious to a bystander.
Bo has the best wrestling style for this matchup. Actually the best D1 wrestler to pick for a crossover match. That being said Myles Martin would be fun to watch put a blast double with the quickness on Gordon Ryan.
I'm not sure how the rules could possibly make sense, but this definitely was not it. You end the match in BJJ by submission and in wrestling by pin. They made it so that pins do not matter, but submissions still do. They created a point system that Ryan didn't care about because it always benefited his advantage. Why would Bo want to take him down if he has no chance to end it with a pin, but instead it puts him right into Ryan's advantage? Nice try whoever put this on, and credit to both these guys for trying to make it work, but in the end it was boring, didn't make sense, and really only left 1 possible outcome (other than a draw).
@Jake He had already started practicing BJJ. If he just wanted to compete in BJJ, he would have just competed in BJJ (and probably not start with the guy who is considered the best). The point of this event was to pit the best BJJ practitioner against an elite wrestler on an even playing ground. My point was that it is probably impossible to create a rule set that didn't favor one guy or the other. In this case the rules favored Ryan. I'm sure Bo knew it and accepted anyway. Kudos to him.
@@anon4854 yep I know but I don’t think he thought it would be that bad lol. Also a heavyweight vs welter weight! I like to see more of a all out mma fight no rules. All this rules don’t prove anything. Gordon is hands down the best ever in his craft!
Actually it was a combination of rules between the two sports. Lol And I’d like to see Bo pin Gordon. Lol. The only takedown, or action for that matter from Bo was when Gordon gave him that suplex. Otherwise he did absolutely nothing but play defense until he was forced by the ref to do something which quickly ended in him getting submitted. Woulda, coulda, shoulda…..AHAHAHA

It's more of a slam than a suplex.
You clearly are not a wrestler if you think that is what a suplex is.
Bo Nickal is a once in a generation wrestler talent, phenomenal athlete. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
The rule set to me was more of an exhibition my thoughts are the rule set was to protect Bo because he’s a UFC fighter and wanted the experience of facing the best vs the risk of getting injured
Just goes to show how versatile Jiu Jitsu can be even modified
Yeah Gordon takedowns were so versatile I learned something new from all his 2 technique. Also the Leg scissors Gordon were using are a high risk move that could end very badly...

I think Gordon Ryan will team up with Bo Nickal one day. These two guys are winners. I am a huge fan of these boys.
I remember reading about a no name American taking gold in black belt magazine back in 2008ish look how far Gordon has come!
At 13?
I thought I was about to waste 15 minutes of my life until that suplex, then that masterpiece of a triangle choke 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That triangle was a thing of beauty, took just a matter of seconds, once gordon got the right hold of him.
Looked like a python choking his next meal haha so cool I rewatched it over 10 times lol

Both guys proved their point in a way. Bo said If I dont engage you can't take me down and then Gordon said "Haha my rules motherfucker you have to engage with me"

Bo showed his get away skills and impasse skills. But.....I will say not getting submitted for as long as he did is good I guess. Granted Gordon couldn't do half his skill set to make it even for Bo. So I guess we can call it half good

@@2408William like how he did that tiny Burns
I would say that the rules were HEAVILY in favor of Bo. Pretty much bout all he did was push Ryan away and squirm to escape when Ryan caught him. It was obvious that he wasn't trying to win, he was just stalling. He did one suplex, which was nice, but then immediately got away again because he had no real idea of how to actually win the match. Even with the rules limiting Ryan, once he got ahold of something other than his legs (which he couldn't use to finish the match), it was over as expected. I would be interested in a rematch if Bo took some time to fully train in jiu-jitsu and they had a straight up match to truly test his skills.

What would have happened if Cyril jumped straight on Jon's neck while he was holding his nuts, who'd be wearing the belt today.
Fair is fair. Bo knew what happened.

@@DefinitelyDefense What is the point of Bo being there if he did absolutely nothing the entire match? He was so afraid of going to the ground that he had to be taunted to do anything. People still defend Bo here, but it's funny that three times Gordon took Bo down, and yet the Bo does nothing offensive. Running away until the very end was his plan basically
Leg locks have always been apart of wrestling, plus they were not considered bjj like techniques and frowned upon....Just ask Josh Barnett and Dean Lister who were the 1st ones to popularize leg locks in BJJ in the early 2000s.
Man Gordon is good. I like seeing him not pull guard, he's very skilled everywhere
That slam from Bo though :O
The one that did nothing? So impressive :o
The one he got baited into so he'd finally have to actually engage? 🤣🤣🤣
Shows how much of a disparity there is for each specialist. If there were leg locks it was over in the first minute.
No not really. Just kept Gordon from doing the run of the mill pussy bjj shit
And if strikes were allowed, even though neither do striking, the wrestler would have undoubtedly won.
@@siavosh87 Definitely not the case. If neither of them do striking it is all guessing who would have won. Striking from the feet would be neutral and striking from the ground I would say the jiu jitsu would play a large roll. Would love to see it an MMA match between them.
@@MackTrainingAcademy the striking probably favors the wrestler more for just a ground and pound situation. Wrestling is all about pressure and control. A good ground and pound is all about keeping a dominant position over your opponent , so it fits wrestling perfectly. Also if you’re experiencing a ground and pound wrestling would probably help you get back to ur feet than bjj. The only advantage bjj has is potential submissions, but those already exist without the striking.

Just for perspective. Without the modified rule set. Gordon would’ve grabbed Bo’s leg and tapped one of the best wrestlers ever in under a minute.

Let's be honest here! Gordon just playing with Him!
Bo slam him by German suplex
What about the suplex?
If this was a true grappling match, Gordon would have submitted him in the first minute.
it seems to me that he couldve done that even under this ruleset, and just artificially stalled the match to make it more interesting for viewers
Add strikes to the match
The fact that he held his own that long against one of the best submission grappling of all Time while not being well versed in submissions is very impressive
I'd love to see magic man making some of his magic in this kind of competition

@@ryanknight9604 gay sport only americans watch lmao
Yeah and less if Bo punched him in the face as he pulled guard 🙄. The whole pulling guard part of BJJ is what holds back the sport imo.

@@mrscoob3450 yeah and no one wants to watch Gordon pulling guard and sliding on his ass for 15 minutes. As far as the rules your complaining about then how about just make it a MMA fight and we’ll see how it goes. Your boy ended up winning by submission anyways so what’s the problem?
i love how john danaher just walks across the mat with his sneakers on without a care in the world. the fact that he's wearing a fanny pack makes it so much better.
Bo went into this at a huge disadvantage. Bo’s only real way of scoring points was a take down, considering as a wrestler he’s not trained in submissions. So he got stuck dancing around because once he’s on the ground Gordon could start working submission and all bo can do is try to defend them.
I guess so tho seemed like bo thought he could do it
Clean versus dirty.

He prevented Gordon from doing everything that made him successful & complained about losing by advantage in a 2-2 match where half the human body was off the table at the outset lol
Yeah, I thought that was pretty goofy to be honest, like some Gracie challenge where you have a match with someone but you implement a modified rule set as a handicap, I get that there is a huge skill gap and they were trying to make things interesting, but I feel that it’s kind of dumb to challenge someone to a jiujitsu match and then prevent them from using leg locks and pulling guard. It would have been different if Bo was also not allowed to do those things, but with that rule set, he was allowed to freely engage in leg locks with little risk since his own legs were free from attack. Just seems really goofy, it would be like challenging Jon Jones to an mma match, but Jon isn’t allowed to go for take downs or submissions but the other guy can. You’re not facing the entire guy.
It’s because this was jujutsu which Gordon is much better at, its his martial art. This was too make it fair for Bo nickel whose a wrestler and hasn’t trained jujutsu as long. If we had Gordon wrestle, Bo it would be tilted in Bo’s favor like this was tilted in Gordons.
@@round_4d579 correct, Gordon's wrestling is very basic.

@@dabirdie1797 they said he lost by adv, and the moaning clearly sounded like an advantage loss
I think this sport should change the format. Just let each guy take turns grabing a leg and then try to break it. Kinda like slap fighting does with slaps.
I must be missing something. Everyone seemed awed by the suplex, ... that Gordon basically gave Bo. He literally backed up into him with his hips. Sure he may not have expected the suplex, but it's not like Bo had to fight to get it either. It was handed to him. Aside from that, Gordon had restrictions. Did Bo have any? For a wrestler he never once went for a take down. He pretty much just guarded against it himself. I'm clearly ignorant to wrestling as I'm sure everyone knew what they were cheering about but it was definitely not obvious to a bystander.
Wrestlers will turn anything around in their favor
Bo has the best wrestling style for this matchup. Actually the best D1 wrestler to pick for a crossover match. That being said Myles Martin would be fun to watch put a blast double with the quickness on Gordon Ryan.
I'm not sure how the rules could possibly make sense, but this definitely was not it. You end the match in BJJ by submission and in wrestling by pin. They made it so that pins do not matter, but submissions still do. They created a point system that Ryan didn't care about because it always benefited his advantage. Why would Bo want to take him down if he has no chance to end it with a pin, but instead it puts him right into Ryan's advantage? Nice try whoever put this on, and credit to both these guys for trying to make it work, but in the end it was boring, didn't make sense, and really only left 1 possible outcome (other than a draw).
@Jake He had already started practicing BJJ. If he just wanted to compete in BJJ, he would have just competed in BJJ (and probably not start with the guy who is considered the best). The point of this event was to pit the best BJJ practitioner against an elite wrestler on an even playing ground. My point was that it is probably impossible to create a rule set that didn't favor one guy or the other. In this case the rules favored Ryan. I'm sure Bo knew it and accepted anyway. Kudos to him.
Bo did a great job avoiding the fight, imagine though if it was no restrictions.
