Great scissor sweep by Francis

As a blue belt (I'm not that good either)..

That would never normally work.. Gane's base was absolutely terrible..like first class whitebelt bad..

I'm not even sure what gane was doing, he stepped into the sweep, it's like he helped Ngannou flip him..

Happy Ngannou got it though..
yeah it looked like he tried to just stand up out of the position. Very quick reaction by Francis. For sure not high level shit, but I've seen some BAD grappling in MMA. Way worse than this
 
This is all from me saying something about wrestling in hs and winning sometimes against bigger guys... I have no idea where it went from there.

Lunacy really sir.
You literally said I had less knowlegde than people I was talking about, based off you saying you've wreslted and beat HW's in highschool. Now you're replying to random posters trying to get sympathy because what you said is laughable in response to what I said? Go to bed man. It's not that serious
 
Lol I love how 110 pound sherdoggers trashed this grappling when they have never even grappled a HW and had any type of success
How would grappling a ‘heavyweight’ and being successful at it make you more knowledgeable about BJJ? Why wouldn’t grappling make you knowledgeable?

FYI - I have grappled heavyweights and been successful, also crushed many many times.

I never questioned their knowledge, simply saying these men are HUGE, most people on here have never had much success grappling someone that size and strength so why so much criticism? It's a different game at that weight as far as activity is concerned and it seemed like most were just commenting on face value instead of anything else. Never questioned their knowledge, only their experience of success at this weight. It was a generalization though, not really a comment I meant to have this long of a convo over tbh
 
Sir I am literally talking 29 years ago...fuckin BJJ was barely known at all...by anybody ffs.
Let alone HS kids.
I believe you. Don't get banned saying something unpopular. There is a HW I know who is roided to the fucking gills and a damn purple belt at that. I'm pretty sure you didn't beat him, but the guy that looks like private pyle? Yes!

These threads take on a life of their own. Tis the way, my friend.

To be fair, I didn't think @Willy Knuckles was being literal with his first comment, just a general remark to people that were talking shit about the grappling in the Francis/Gane fight. Which, I don't think you were, right?

I'm gonna try to squash this for all of you because you guys are off topic on a misunderstanding.
 
Never heard that saying?


Never heard it, but I took it as, "you're remembered for what you did wrong, not what you did right" or some shit like that.

Hilarious way to say it though.

I think we fixed it all sir lol
 
What is Gane even trying to accomplish there. I legitimately can't figure it out
 
Yeah we pretty much have the big boys roll with the big boys. (Sucks for me because I am a smaller big boy compared to the BIG LADS)
Some people don't mind and they don't separate people. Just during partner picks some people will avoid the bigger grapplers purposely.

No worries, I found the comment interesting enough to reply so there’s that haha, anyways I do agree a lot of people don’t have the experience or enough experience to have an informed opinion on what went down.
 
I think we fixed it all sir lol


You and @Willy Knuckles trying to get along in this thread now like:
