Fight Recommendations For Outstanding Grappling Exchanges?

Nog vs herring 1
Nog vs hendo 2

Both guys showed heart resisting nogs constant attacks

Nog was one of the best big guys off their back iirc.

I wish I was older so I could of watched pride when it was still around instead I was in 5th grade.

 

[chinarice]

Always underrated IMO and was great to show all facets of MMA

Frankie Edgar vs Tyson Griffin

Thought those guys were the future of 155 when I saw that fight. I was half right

Karo Parisian vs Diego Sanchez

Karo Parisian vs Diego Sanchez

It’s always very impressive when you see judo throws like that in MMA.

They’re rare to see but very impressive.

 

[markantony20]

Palhares vs Belcher

Palhares is a scary man

 

[HatKick]

Maia vs Askren

Also has some awesome striking sequences. (But seriously, it's a good fight)

 

[Chael_Sonnen]

Gregor Gillespie vs Diego Ferreira.

Had some awesome grappling until Ferreira gassed.

 

[don't ask]

Nog vs Couture is one of my favourite modern UFC fights because of the grappling.

It's been a long time since I saw Paulson vs Hume, but it's frequently regarded as the first modern MMA match in the NHB days and I seem to recall grappling exchanges being a huge part of that.

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

Gamrot vs Kuteteladze

 

[HHJ]

Chonan vs Newton

 

[Portland8242]

Tsarukyan vs Gamrot for a recent example.

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

Henderson/Cerrone 1
Couture/Ortiz
Sakurai/Viera
Couture/Van Arsdale
Sherk/Florian
Shields/Miller
Arona/Lister
Hughes/Trigg 1
Shamrock/Severn 1
Aurelio/Mishima
Gurgel/Robinson
Sobral/Sonnen

Not necessarily action packed fights, but very interesting matches…

 

[Rorschachxx]

The best ones have been recommended but these are pretty fun too:

Smolka vs Elliott
Smolka vs Holohan
Smolka vs Nguyen

Ulka Sasaki had some fun ones at FLW as well.

Gamrot vs Kuteteladze

Gamrot has some very good fights when it comes to grappling exchanges and scrambles.

 

[markantony20]

Henderson/Cerrone 1
Couture/Ortiz
Sakurai/Viera
Couture/Van Arsdale
Sherk/Florian
Shields/Miller
Arona/Lister
Hughes/Trigg 1
Shamrock/Severn 1
Aurelio/Mishima
Gurgel/Robinson
Sobral/Sonnen

Not necessarily action packed fights, but very interesting matches…

I really don’t mind a tactical ground battle that much. Of course scrambles are fun but not entirely necessary for a good fight.

Gregor Gillespie vs Diego Ferreira.

Had some awesome grappling until Ferreira gassed.

Gregor was looking so promising then he just fell off the face of he earth.

 

[markantony20]

Too bad Gregor went fishing after the Kevin Lee fight.

 

[HHJ]

If you like "dirty boxing" Couture vs Gonzaga is a master class of how do it proper and work a much bigger guy against the cage. Cain against Jds is another good example of when to hit and when to hold and just fucking break a dude down.
