Fight Recommendations For Outstanding Grappling Exchanges?

[markantony20]

Hey folks I’m home alone for once and I got UFC Fight Pass.

I was wondering if anyone has any fight recommendations for stellar fights between grapplers? BJJ, Sambo, Wrestling, whatever style.

The one that springs to mind is Armen v Gamrot which I watched again and it’s just as high level as i remember it.

Anyone got any suggestions for fights with great grappling exchanges?

Here’s a cat pic for your time

Fedor vs Nog

Damn man if only crowds got as excited with technical ground battles like this nowadays.

The PRIDE crowd was so educated on fighting.

Kevin Randleman vs Murilo (ninja) Rua

I’ll check that one out too! RIP Randleman gone far too soon.

I'll recommend the fight I always do.

Demian Maia vs Jason MacDonald. UFC 87.

Fantastic back and forth grappling exchanges, sub attempts from each guy, fantastic fight.

Demian Maia vs Jason Mcdonald. UFC 87.

Fantastic back and forth grappling exchanges, sun attempts from each guy, fantastic fight.

Thanks for the suggestion! I always liked Maia his neck crank sub over Rick Story was one of the most brutal thing I’ve ever seen.

It's a great fight. MacDonald (autocorrect not getting me this time) actually has Maia in trouble a bunch of times, which is weird to see in a Maia fight.

And yeah, the blood squirting out of Story's nose due to sheer pressure is nasty.

Nog vs Barnett
Palhares vs Belcher

Fedor v Big Nog (2003)

 

[HHJ]

Although it's short Rousey vs Zingano is an incredible exchange

Ronda's best career win. IMHO.

That and the first Tate fight are a lot of fun to watch
