ADCC and Flo releasing footage just shortly after it happens... CJI is already having an impact! HAHA
Exactly! Normally we would just hear about this or see a grainy video from someone's phone
Gotta love seeing ADCC 2018 matches posted in 2024
@@thomasgarza9614 Just excuse me while I sneak off and watch an event live, for free. haha
@@MNaeem5Yes, this is what happens when there’s open market competition and not one organization monopolizing all the athletes and all the action, while paying them peanuts and making the fans wait 10 years to watch the matches that already happened 😅
I love what Craig jonzy is doing,much easier for someone who doesn't follow jiu jitsu to watch
When Pixley announced that he went to train with 27x (Grand) Champion Renato Laranja for 1 day.....I knew that boy was going to be dangerous but my goodness! Oss.
Master Renach!
Caralho
😂😂
Craig Jonesy is proudch caralho!
😅🤣😂
Silly comment.
Meregali didnt just tap from accidentally tripping. Dude was rag dolled into the air forcing him to take the throw or possibly break his shit off by posting. Whether from a darce or a throw that injured meregali, one fact remains: pixleys actions made meregali tap.
Give props where due
He destroyed him from start to finish.
Well it's about the same as if I break your leg with a leg kick to win an MMA match.
I hurt you with a legal technique and should be given the props but it was not my intention to win that way and is not something I have practiced for or can recreate reliably.
@@heymelon🎯 Pixley ran the whole match had two good throws with the latter injuring Meregali shoulder, some will lavish the win by any means, some will recognize you beat an injured not 100% opponent.
I wasn’t siding with either opponent just here to watch a good match.
@@heymelondumbest comparison i’ve ever heard stop vía leg kicks happens you throw them with the intention of knowing it can happen same with throws it’s like a ko punch ur throwing them not all of them are ko shots but if u throw one in the right spot u win the fight and u might throw the same punch and the fight goes on same thing bs excuse u made pixley beat him fair
@@billybobyolo6397 Who said he didn't beat him fair lol. Ya craze invested in this shit huh.
This is the Victor Hugo moment of ADCC 🥶
Not even bro. Victor just got caught early in the match with a quick heel hook. This was deep in the match with Pixley man handling him with ease on the feet
@@ericleach403 and pix passed him earlier too
@@ezr.awasnt a pass as meregali easily escaped.
Honestly, Pixley wasn’t doing anything and running away from the guard the entire time. Meregali hurt his shoulder and didn’t even defend the joke.
@@PabloTheThinkernah meregali couldve won if he just pulled guard and tried to submit from guard. But i guess michael pixley is very difficult opponent stylistically. Since meregali bottom game is mostly wrestle ups and sweeps and has an amazing top game. So against a wrestler, its just a bad match up. Very hard to sweep and wrestle against. Wrong strategy imo. He would’ve won any other way, since pixley would not be able to pass his guard. Even tho he did, he easily reguarded. So its sad really. But oh well. Thats sports, lots of upsets
double gold has been cancelled
😂
Sadly things ended prematurely, much like his girlfriend
😂😂
Honestly, Pixley wasn’t doing anything and running away from the guard the entire time. Meregali hurt his shoulder and didn’t even defend the joke.
@@PabloTheThinker Bro, he butt scooted and looked ridiculous... Pixley crushed him in dominant fashion.
Pixley was seriously underrated before this match
Nah. Everybody knew this guy was an absolute menace since the Daisy Fresh documentary came out.
He’ll get taken out by someone with a half decent ground game than this lol
of course it’s meregali, but I bet everything that no one in adcc can take pixley down or stand with him without almost getting submitted
@@pedroluiz2741 agreed. Other than mica with his anti wrestling sub attacks he spams from stand up I don’t see anyone in pixley’s weight class that can just straight stand with him.
@@Fisslespore09 Meregali's ground game is more than half decent. 🤔
Words are silent when the tatami speaks.
grande nachitooo
Indeed
Bjj call it takedowns 😅. Judo, throws.
CJI bullied Flo into releasing stuff early, good, good...
So end result is your cheap ass paid for nothing and the original argument ADCC made that people don´t pay a lot to watch Jiu Jitsu is completely true. Victory all round as the sport enters a bubble.
They already started releasing stuff the day after, like IBJJF videos months ago. Don't see how you just give CJI credit....
@@PossumMansone of the reason I did not renew my flo membership is they sometimes release matches just few days after the main event. I usally watching BJJ matches for techniques and game plan.
Authenticity paid the price
Turns out, freedom, and authenticity aren't free
What did I just watch?!!! I’ve never seen anybody treat Meregali like that. My goodness! Congrats are in order to Pixley!!
couldnt take him down, Pixley is very accomplished wrestler, but didnt actually do any real jiujitsu on the ground.
Meregali mind is in that million dollar
He got rag dolled then was butt scootn like a dog trying to rid its anuck of tapeworms
@@gsp3428that sub he got was “real jiu jitsu”
@@gsp3428 didn't do any real jiujitsu just passed his guard then threw him onto the matt dislocating his shoulder then submitted him. Very impressive from Pixley.
Craig will make fun of him so much that he will disappear from the map and cry 🤣🤣
El tapo!
What is the joke? He got injured in an unlucky fall. I am sure Craig Jones really risked injury by fighting a woman.
@@evanburgess8428 unlucky he dosen't know how to fall! 🤣🤣
@@evanburgess8428he got dominated for the whole match. The fall also wasn’t unlucky. Pixley threw him around like a white belt and forced his injury.
@@benjaminpolska6585 Forced his injury? what a dumb ass comment. It was an accident and if it hadn´t have happened he would probably have lost in the long run. Pixley suprised Meregali, as soon as people are aware of what he can do (throw people) he´s probably going to turn into Muhammed Aly.
First CJI 2025 invite to Mr. Pixley
Nicholas said he was the best in the world, unstoppable and that he would beat everyone in his path. This is proof that arrogance has fallen! Note: I am Brazilian and I rooted against him. He does not have the basics that a martial artist should have, Respect for his opponents.
So you´d do well against him? When is the last time you beat Kaynan Duarte and Vitor Hugo?
I root against him and Gordon. I wanted Gordon to lose , he didn't but he's losing his magic
The cheer when merigali lost was insane
CJI had gotten Flo posting within hours of matches lol
This is crazy to watch after watching CJI yesterday. Night and day
Wdym by this? Cji makes this look Azz? If so, I agree
@@Sharrod901 Yes, very bad in comparison to CJI. CJI is really showing what competitive BJJ could be
@@awerawer0708 i agree, there was no stalling or disengaging, there was actually competing and grappling.
@@gsp3428 but as boring as possible
I actually think the -88 and up has been better than the over 80 at cji. Over 80 was extremely shallow at cji unfortunately.
Proverbs 16:18-19:
"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall"
It's not june
Aqui no Brasil no falamos o mesmo sobre ele. A Arrogâncias precede a queda!
@@thitiago1 eu sou brasileiro! Kkkkkk
To be fair, he was tapping before the d’arce and could notice the injury when he landed but that’s what you get for being over confident and underestimating your opponent.
Excuses
Do be fair, getting injured by a purple belt throwing you into the mat is still a legit way of losing a match
@@qymog hes already tapping @ 7:00
He tapped, he lost, but he also clearly caught himself wrong and got hurt
to be fair. dont plant your hand when someone is sending your ass flying
To be fair what? He got shut down by a better wrestler. More the reason higher points need to be rewarded for takedowns like in freestyle. You score big or shut down your opponent just like that
Craig: hahahahahahahahaha
Aww and I thought Meragali was supposed to be the next big thing but that's why you don't underestimate your opponents. That was a beautiful darce choke
Meragali will blame it on injury
@@Sazyamardid you see the shoulder in the uchi mata??? He was tapping before the d'arce...
@@titan1369 part of the game part of the lost
@@titan1369 he literally was tapping after the darce, not before
u didn't even watch the fight. he taps on the floor before the choke is even put on. he hurt his arm on the takedown. such low iq.
The immediate injury card lol
Lol they popped his shoulder back in backstage
Learn to break fall 💀
you can see him tapping before he was turned over
He clearly fell with his arm wide and trust me I hate the guy 😂 I think he separated his shoulder for sure.
@@AlonzoCalPolyPomona lol
That throw was beautiful
This would look OK if we hadn't just watched CJI yesterday and seen how BJJ is supposed to be shot
Butt scoot…out of bounds…reset….repeat….
Can't wait to see Pixley at CJI next year lmaoo
Lmao, yes, now adcc is just like Talent Identifier, whereas CJI will be the next stage and an actual tournament.
Meregali = Googles, " how much are membership fee's at B-Team Jiu jitsu "
I mean they didn’t too too hot this weekend either except for Nicky Rod and Craig. If you count Craig. Lol
Amazing performance from a serious athlete with incredible wrestling and throwing skills.
That people in this sport need to have.
All judo! 🥋
1000% correct and he has a killer instincts
@@Madera00702all wrestling
@@Madera00702 This man never trained Judo a day in his life. He is a D1 collegiate wrestler and BJJ practicioner.
Also he submits people, if he was a judoka he would lie flat in his belly.
@@dan5626 you couldn't be more wrong. Judo practicioners are extremely proficient at submissions, it's actually a running joke in the BJJ community how high level Judo players are easily able to give any brown and black belts a run for their money even without training a single day of Jiu-Jitsu. People easily forget that Judo also originated from Japanese Jiu-jitsu, just like BJJ. It was because of entertainment value as it became an Olympic sport that Judo has forsaken ground techniques in competition, doesn't mean they are not there. Or do you think Ronda Rousey was so good at arm bars because of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu when we all know she had practiced Judo her entire life.
Also, he can be a great wrestler all he wants. Fact of the matter is that he's a tremendous wrestler who applied two Judo throws with absolute perfection, one of them causing an injury to his opponent. So, yeah, the credit goes to Judo. Ain't no way around it.
Flo is posting it already OMG!
Craig Jones influence
If only it was at CJI like everyone is watching….
How much money have you paid to watch competition BJJ?
Man you could tell Nicholas was regretting that instagram post congratulating himself for his 2024 double gold right after that first Uchi Mata...
be humble or be humbled..
Meregali definitely hurt his shoulder posting like that. I’m surprised he doesn’t know to give in to a throw when it’s on.
It was probably his ego speaking. You could see in his face that he didn't like getting thrown like that the first time. He wouldn't allow Pixley to do him like that again and that's how he got what he got.
“No matter who steps on the mats with me at ADCC, it's going to be an easy match. There isn't a single person in either divisions, 99kg or Open Weight, who can stand a chance against me. Not your favorite grappler, not the reigning champions, not the upcoming fighters, there's no one. They will only be statistics in my record. I know there are fans out there who think I'll struggle against guy X or Y, but if you had a little bit of brain you would realize we're not even in the same league”.
yo, im gonna shoot a single leg against a NCAA champion, hahahahaha. trust me bro im so much better hahahahahahahahahaha
Pixley dominated with his weapons.. standing fighting, hand triangle attacks. Who's crazy enough to jump on Meregali's guard?! Pixley imposed his game, his way of fighting at all times. This was a clash of styles, and Meregali didn't understand that. What did Meregali think? Trying a single leg on an NCAA champion also underestimated a lot.
the script of a downfall: be cocky (not accepting Pixley's hand and dying his hair in gold color), talk all that talk before the event (claiming to be on a whole different level than everyone else), be inconsiderate of your opponents (saying double gold would come EASY regardless of who he'd fight, and calling out submissions beforehand), disrespect your opponent mid fight by posing for pictures, and not acknowledging losing to Michael in the post fight interview, blaming the shoulder... and list goes on and on. He was the only one to do all of that, and the only one to have suffered an injury. He's good, but I hope this serves as a lesson and humbles him.
Indeed. It's sad to see how many people jumped on the roast train when Meregali lost... I believe if he changes for the better, he will definitely come back stronger than ever 🤙🤙🤙
Love to see it
I knew Michael would be tough for Meregali but I did not expect Michael to dominate him like that. Great performance by Michael!
Dominate?! Yeah, no
@@alexivan3911Dude had him in headlocks, passed his guard, broke is f*ckin shoulder. Zero threats from Merigalli.
@@alexivan3911yeah he did 😂
He was losing all the way up until the throw, then immediately after. Pixley crushed this
I've never seen anyone domimating Meregalli at this level. He completly destroyed Meregalli. He was better at every single aspect.
😂😂😂😂😂@@carlbjorling6058
We take Gordon Ryan’s dominance for granted. This is my conclusion after seeing CJI yesterday and this today.
He's a phenom it's just not many people like him
💯
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
yep. Gordon truly is the goat
Steroid Ryan is an enhanced athlete phenom? Naaa
Omg, that Harai Goshi was insane!
Wow he was so dman cocky too on social media. He's gonna get a lot of hate coming now. I thought he was gonna win this easy
Crazy thing is he made it look kind of easy.
I read comments he tapped before darce choked,ok so what ?he got taken down professionally and got hurt by the takedown.Don’t get taken down and you want get hurt.
He got dominated by a world class wrestler from the hand shake.
Wasn't even the takedown, it was him trying to post when he was already off in the air like that.
He pretty much got himself hurt. All props go to Pixley.
Damn that was satisfying to see
So pra vcs aprenderem... nunca cospem pra cima, pq pode cair na própria cara !!! O meregalli realmente é um atleta de altíssimo nivel .. mas infelizmente com um ego maior que seu talento... uma hora ele ia achar ... nos ultimos tempos muita net pouco tatame ...
Exatamente!
Ele só quebrou o braço, n é como se ele deixasse de ser o mais vitorioso na carreira entre os dois
Pixley a true master of his game.
Meregali began tapping while belly down.
He tapped so fast that broke his shoulder...😂
First time that arrogant meregali tapped. Feels good
holy this is a matchup I didn't know I wanted - my body is ready

Máximo respeito ao Jacaré! Osss
@@vitorcruz3129 Leigo, o Jacaré deslocou (não quebrou) o braço no Mundial de Jiu Jitsu de 2004, no Tijuca Tênis Clube.

Pelo que vi , foi na hora da queda que ele quebrou , falta de sorte , pra quem pratica sabe que pode acontecer essas coisas . infelicidade do Menegalli
Meregali's responsibility for not treating his protest with gravity. That break fall would have been taken by any experienced judoka.
You can see Meregali dislocate his shoulder when he landed by the throw, you can see him tapping when he's on his stomach.
Correct, he tapped before the choke
Meregali’s fault for not taking his stand up seriously. Any seasoned judoka would have taken that break fall
pixleys 1st art was judoka. He equally dominated. I think he was injured from the darce and was ready to tap once he felt the power. meregali flopped to his own back in hope of being submitted faster. I've seen it countless times before. Competitors claim injury to help their ego. Whatever happened props to Pixley.
THE FISH DIES BY THE MOUTH WELL DONE.. FINISHED!! MAKE A PIX MEREGALLI 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Sou brasileiro com muito orgulho,
Mas o Nicholas estava muito cheio de querer ser o foda.
Com ego muito elevado ,
Deve sempre respeitar seu oponente ,
E não fazer o que ele vinha fazendo.
Por isso todos amam o Mica Galvão.
I'm happy for the dude. When I watched him for the first he just a humble dude helping out the team in all kind of ways, and now he's here beating a big name like Meregali!
Wild! Much love to Pixley and the Daisy Fresh crew!
Pride comes before the fall
MERIGALLI ONLY SEEMS TO DO WELL WITH JUNIORS
Look closely - is he tapping at 7:00? and then 7:03? - it looks like twice before the choke is put on. Or maybe I'm just seeing things.
Realmente ele bateu, desacelerando o vídeo dá para perceber. Bateu antes do golpe estar encaixado.
you are right. he was ready to tap once the choke was getting tight. then went what hes best at going to his back.
The most important part was blocked by the ref. Don't they have a TV director who can cut to another camera??
Michael Pixley finalizou Nicholas Meregali com um triângulo de mão
I understand that people hate Meregali but Pixley has the most egregious stall-jitsu I've ever seen
That was a hell of a performance from Pixley, he deserved that win through and through.
he hurt his arm on the takedown and taps right after it on the ground. he tapped before the choke. try watching the fight next time.
So? Its part of the game. He should learn how to break fall @@teena-tz7lr
pixley avoided grappling and didnt engage accept for a few moments, I was dissapointed every time I see people avoid grappling just basically to win a decision, he got lucky Nicolas got hurt on the throw.
Cji was insane
"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall" is found in Proverbs 16:18-19.
Dominou a luta toda, e finalizou lindamente!!!!
"dominou"???
@@Gabriel-km5hz dominou com suas armas.. luta em pé, botes de triangulo de mão. Quem é o doido de pular na guarda do Meregali?! O Pixley impôs seu jogo, sua forma de luta a todo momento. Isso foi um confronto de estilos, e o Meregali não entendeu isso. Meregali achou o que? Tentar um single leg num campeão da NCAA, subestimou muito também.
overconfident as hell to think he could out hand fight and takedown an NCAA wrestler. Played into Pixley’s strengths and game, got his ass whupped. Good job Pixley🎉
Wow what tournament is this ?
lmao
This is the pre show for CJI my friend!
FIFA
CJI Early Prelim
Nicolas got sprinkled with Pixley dust
Wow, it's truely surprising. Meregali has been regared as the next emperor.
Then Pixley fixed the myth.
Pixley fixed the public myth.
07:02 We can see Merelegali Tapping before de submission, right after the fall
Brave to put this event on the same day as CJI 🤯
Might be my favorite submission he had the arm trap from right before the throw until the finish there was no possibility of recovery to get the arm back 💯💯💯💯💯🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Day 2 CJI on today can't wait KEEPBJJGAY 🌈
So happy this is out for everyone to see 😂😂
Love when you guys first post a video and it's populated with the views and comments you bought :p
Pixley kicked his ass, full stop.
The famous butt scooter 😂
Simply spectacular ending.
Meregali perdeu 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
E PERDEU FEIO DEMAIS, ELE AINDA QUER FALAR DO MICA GALVÃO, NÃO VAI DAR NEM PRO COMEÇO COM O MICA.
A questão é que o oponente do meregali dominou toda a luta, não se resume somente à finalização
That's why you gotta respect the wrestler!
Ele lesionou o ombro na hora da queda, Da pra ver que o ombro não responde
ficou cantando vitória antes da hora, ta ai o resultado e que sirva de lição.
Teve 7 minutos pra fazer alguma coisa nao fez nada. Pix lançou ele no chao duas vezes, e falha do meregsli por deixar a mao plantada enquanto o oponente deu uma queda linda no cara. Perdeu no tatame. Sem desculpinha. Reconhecer o americano!
I watched CJI and it was LIT the entire time!! And big money 💰
Pixley is unstoppable!!!!
That toss was exquisite.
I was told Meregali could predict results😅
😅
How did the announcers not see it was a shoulder injury and not a darce choke
Honestly, Pixley wasn’t doing anything and running away from the guard the entire time. Meregali hurt his shoulder and didn’t even defend the choke.
Meregali stop using a burner account to cope with your loss
Meregali pensa que é o novo Gordon Ryan, mas ele não passa de uma cópia barata e fraca do Gordon. Pintando até o cabelo da mesma forma só que lutando passa vergonha. Meregali é o Gordon Ryan da Shoppe
Quem nunca perdeu que atire a primeira pedra😂
@@antoniofilho-wy1wl pois e. Quando o carro estava varrendo geral, nenhum pio dos leigos
Meregali strategy didn't work out. Pixley didn't want to engage on guard passing, and then Meregali decided to wrestle a wrestler... It happens. Wishing him a speedy recovery
Unlucky dislocation, he'll be back
Yup, subtle but powerful throw
I wonder if Meregali broke his arm from posting. That was a nice throw and finish by Pixley.
A soberba precede a queda..
Na verdade, a soberba tomou duas quedas, mais um triângulo de mão😂
@@Adao-ws3gz
Mas sendo justo, ele se lesionou na queda..
I was sitting mat side a few feet from these guys. Seeing this was insane. Afterwards Nicholas came and sat next to me to was a match and I saw he was in a sling. I asked him bro how is your arm and he said it’s definitely not good and it was a rotator cuff tear.
he tapped before the choke. he tapped because his arm was hurt on the takedown. u see him tap on the floor before he even puts teh choke on then a couple seconds later taps again on his body.
Beautifully done. Sublime. Well done Mr Pixley.
He was tapping before the darce. He landed on the shoulder. Definitely not a tap from submission.
very true
True
In all fairness, if someone Judo throws you to the ground and you can't continue because of the hard landing on your shoulder which is what the move is intended to do.....then you have in fact tapped from a pain submission. He put that man in pain and he tapped....or submitted as a result though yes I agree it was not the darce choke submission most people think it was but he was in fact 100% submitted.
@@WHOTHESONSETSFREE01 ridic. thats like saying if someone side steps ur kick and during the side step they roll their ankle and fall over and cant continue u ko'd them cause the kick caused it.
@@WHOTHESONSETSFREE01 In no world would I consider that a "submission win". The guy landed wrong, and was injured from a throw. There was no jiu-jitsu involved.
"I belive can fly." MEREGALI, Nicholas
not sure why people are impressed with Pixley, he avoided grappling most of the fight and disengaged almost the whole time, got lucky Meregali got injured otherwise he was looking to just dance around and avoid the superior grappler on the ground, which is what its supposed to be about, grappling, not avoiding grappling.
Pixley dominated this match. I say this as a Meregali fan
@@chivimbe he dominated by disengaging the whole time pretty much, moving around and trying actually participate in the grappling part, he was looking to win a decision, grapple for one second, then disengage, wait another few minutes of dancing around Meregali and then try for another second. Pixley is the superior wrestler and by that he could control where the match goes, but wanted almost nothing to do with actually grappling which dissapointed me, because I know Pixley is a beast. I want to watch actual Jiujitsu, no try and hope for a pass and then disengage for the next five minutes. He only won because Meregali got hurt. He certainly didnt dominate. I just watched Nicky Ryan vs Andrew Tackett, and that was a domination. Tacket continually tried to pass, and put constant pressure on him. Pixley did none of that.
THATS HOW YOU GRAPPLE 👏👏👏
