It's so strange seeing a huge guy like Hugo opting to play guard most of the match.
First time he tried to wrestle Nick he got the job done, great scramble

i haven't seen the match yet, but it seems like victor hugo just got his number?

this is the third time he's beaten nicky rod, if i'm not mistaken.

Nicky could have just pinned for a decision, but he goes so hard for the finish.
He really seems to struggle with Hugo's size more than anything.

Interestingly I think both give Gordon some problems, but I doubt we ever see that fight again.
At this point Gordon may aswell just retire and wander around his house.

Gordon today I think they both give him problems. But in the past Gordon beat both of the convincingly.

I doubt Gordon will come back which is a shame. That being said I would love to see Victor Hugo vs Big dan

They already fought at FPI 5. Victor Hugo embarrassed him. Big Dan basically got out big manned.
Looked like a Big whitebelt out there.

I missed that one.

Seems not much for Victor Hugo unless he can some how get Gordon back in

It's worth a watch. It was a great example of a big guy running into a bigger guy with skills.
Yeah he seems to just be too big for Nicky. Though once he got the back, he just went hard for it. Gordon won't come back unless it's in that ADCC format or a no time limit match. The man just needs to get off gear for a few years and hopefully his body bounces back. Great example of why PEDs aren't the best idea too early in a career.

Gordon has this stomach problem that has been plaguing him for years and it seems he is unlikely to return from his last message but I think he will come back.

BTW craig jones just announce New Wave will be at CJI 2

i heard about the stomach issue, but i'm sure he's competed after that. i think he won something at WNO and then had his 2 superfights at ADCC last year.

Yea true, but it seems he said he was not feeling 100% and said before the Josh Saunders match he thought he would maybe cancel.

He could be playing it up but I doubt he was afraid of anyone. I mean doing his bracket and superfight against the best of the best.

Maybe now he knows he cannot regain that same level.

Just because he roided out of his mind doesn't mean that his stomach problems are cause by gear use.
Eating a lot to get big propably doesn't help for that.

No he couldnt have lol. Nicky can’t control Victor, that’s why he keeps getting beaten by him. Hugo is fucking amazing. His game is so sick

I was impressed with him after he made Big Dan look like a white belt.

I think Nicky can decision him personally. It's by having the most boring match ever where he just pretends to go for things, IBJJF advantage style.

He’s had 4 chances
IBJJF Hugo would beat Nicky like 10-4

Yeah I reckon you are right, but I think that win is coming.
It will probably come around the time that Nicky suddenly gains 30lbs of muscle and become Uber Nicky.
