Shawn Williams is the best commentator by far. Nobody else catches things such as weight transfers and how they're opening opportunities for certain takedowns.
Gordon is so dominant. Perfect technique, never makes stupid mistakes or gets frustrated, always makes the right tactical decision, perfect timing for taking calculated risk, and crushing strength. He might be the greatest of all time.
That’s what happens when you’re constantly training under the watchful eye of John Danaher, and yet he still isn’t on the technical mindset of Danaher yet. Just shows how great of an instructor is. Truly the best if not the best.
Gordon is really one of thoses only guys that does the same thing over and over again until it works. Pass, mount/Back, Choke. Alot of high level guys goes for attacks but once, then it doesnt work and they try other stuff. So flawless to see. Reminds me of Rickson in that regard.
The level is just increased so dramatically over the past 20 years. Even when you go back and look at an all time legend like Marcelo his guard passing style wouldn’t be effective against the new meta.
you guys know when we say that a guy is at another level? Gordon Ryan is above a few other levels above that! so he is not just at another level anymore, he is at another dimension/planet/galaxy/whatever. i like this kid :-)
Shawn Williams called that trip and body positioning of Gazola like such a gangster. For like 30 full seconds before the takedown he guided the fans right to the knee pick. Hall of Famer.
I'm just a 2 year white belt but I feel like that back attack system is pretty standard. I've seen it taught by at least 5 different people. Yes Gordon does it at an elite level but it's not like he did anything there that isn't widely known in the BJJ community. -Get a grip on your opponent's "choking side" hand (the choking side being the side your head is not on because you need your head to help finish the choke) and feed it underneath your choking side leg and trap it there. - Get a body triangle that contains their choking side arm and also helps to hold them in back mount better. -Grab hold of their opposite choking side arm with your choking side and feed it to your non choking side arm. Hold it there. If it escapes, recapture it with the same steps. - They now have nothing but chin tuck (and explosive movement) to defend themselves with. Take as long as you need to get your choking arm underneath their chin tuck. This is probably the portion with the most different methods. (i.e., slip small parts of your hand underneath and wedge deeper as Gordon did, create a fist and push their head all the way to the side where their neck is exposed due to anatomical reasons. -Choke. Of course there are ways that this can be foiled at every step but my point is that none of this is some esoteric knowledge coming out of the blue basement. I'm far more impressed by how he took the back in the first place. That I cannot explain.
@@josephbonkoski1920 nothing is new just money hungry black belts try to palm “systems” and “concepts” like their own but you’re right it’s all common basic knowledge. Most people suck at grappling which makes the community a poor source for information and opinion.
Time and time again we see that aggressive outside ashi entry fail into back takes by the opponent. This is how Felipe Pena submitted Gordon Ryan and also beat him in points at ADCC. It is incredibly important to lock up the heel as fast as possible.
I think that knee tap is one of the horniest wrestling moves for jitzy boys. People have stay so upright and keep the legs so close to avoid front headlock situations.
so ive been implementing that one into my game and its made a huge difference, I'm a tall guy so its hard to shoot on people but that undertook knee tap is golden.
It honestly looks like Gordon wanted to test a scenario against a fully resisting opponent, and once he got it he just quickly ended the match. Always fun to watch the contrast in his matches 🔥
what a fantastic match. such great, textbook jiujitsu from both guys. and props to gazola, I mean he got a sweep, almost passed the guard and even escaped mount. no small feats against GR. obviously, there is the chance that GR wasn't playing as tightly since there were no points yet, but still good stuff.
Dang I would’ve loved to see Gordon vs Marcelo in his prime. Gordon is clearly an extremely strong and talented individual who understands the game mentally to that next level where he adapts his game to every opponent he goes against. He doesn’t have a set style, it’s just whatever the opponent gives to him he takes and capitalizes off every single mistake or move they might make. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Goes for the sub not so much caring for points that much. Goat in the making easily. Also he goes for the
I knew Gordon was going to get the back as soon as Vinicius went for that leg. Gordon was already half way there just by the very nature of attacking the leg. Like Gordon is a master at leg locks, not to mention back takes. You think you’re going to debut ADCC and get Gordon with a leg lock? Bruhhhhh. Gordon is the king for a reason...

Wow, this was an amazing match. The technical ability of both grapplers was insane. And it's even more interesting given that both grapplers have a very similar style that seems to focus on perfect execution of techniques as opposed to explosiveness or athleticism.
Why did he tap? Was it because he knew he is in a lost situation or was he getting choked with one arm? It may sound like a stupid question, but I never trained BJJ, just a little bit of Judo and I'm just trying to understand.
@@matangox both really. Gordon Ryan is definitely strong enough to choke someone out with one arm. But the primary reason he tapped was that he knew he was beat and there was no way to escape from Gordon Ryan's legendary back control after the arm has been trapped.
This is funny Gordon countered the leg attack with a back take. Similar to what Pena did to him. Gordon beat his opponent like Pena beat him kinda ironic.
That was a great match. I don't follow grappling enough to know if Ryan and Pena could ever meet up again. But I'm kind of an underdog fan so it was fun to see someone actually beat Ryan. Ryan vs Craig Jones was also great, although I believe Jones could have won by breaking Ryan's arm in that armbar. Good sportsmanship but Jones paid for it with the loss in OT.
Its just a standard RNC, its just because of how deep it is vinicius tapped preemptively before gordon connected the other hand coz it was too late anyways.
Is that still happening? I haven't heard anything about it in a while and he's still competing very regularly in bjj. I thought he would have switched his training focus more by now.
I hope so. I’d like to see this new school style in MMA but I’m not 💯 sure he is going to dominate though . Jiu jitsu is not as relevant in modern MMA. I’ll use Jon Jones as a example. He is just a blue belt and he has never lost. Even tapped Belfort a monster black belt.
@@User-54631 Jon Jones is not at blue belt level, even if that's his official rank. A real blue belt would be demolished in a high level MMA fight. Even McGregor being a brown belt would be in trouble if he hits the ground and don't get up fast
8:57 how's the guy at the final attempting to do a heel look like that? He literally has nothing the only option is outside heel hook but he's grabbing with the wrong arm
Came into this expecting the first 5 minutes to be Gordon pulling on the guy's neck as they dance around, but it turned out to only be 4. To the second even.
A lot of Brazilians become more known by their nicknames than they do by their actual names. Terere, Roleta, Comprido, Magarida, Jacare, Cobrinha, Buchecha, just to name a few.
@@degen7814 To take Vinicius’s back after he secured an angle. By scooting out to the right. Gordon had to grab Vinicius’s right trap, right shoulder, or right side of neck to pull Vinicius’s back towards him.

Indeed. Found myself wanting to learn from him
Makes sense considering he was one of danaher's peers and got his back belt at the same time as danaher. Iron sharpens iron!
Very knowledgeable, I'm new to bjj, is he black belt? It's just the knowledge he has he talks like one.
RIP to all the guards passed & all the backs taken by Gordon
Once I saw him take the back I checked how much longer the video was and said" that seems about right"
lol same
Exactly what I did haha
I see gordan ryan then check the time of the vid to indicate how tough the opponent is 😂
Me too!
