PBP ONE Fight Night 11: Eersel vs. Menshikov, Fri. 6/9, 8 PM ET/5 PM PT PBP Discussion Thread

[don't ask]

I'm getting annoyed with Langaker's guard and I'm not even trying to pass it. I'm having flashbacks to BJJ class.

Hot take but I think Jel made better beats for Sluggo than Ant did for a minute there. Atmosphere has some classic records, but the guy/group fell off a cliff for me around 2010. Lucy Ford and Overcast will always be important albums for me. YCIHMFWH is a near classic. Their last great, possibly even good, record.

Can’t disagree with that

 

[don't ask]

Langaker is a joy to watch. I love his style. Legs like switchblades!

I haven't seen much of him. What makes his style different?

 

[Makani]

It's always crazy when you see young kids who have been training since they were in grade school and are ridiculously flexible just run through everybody. It really puts modern grappling into perspective and how it's blown up, comparatively speaking.

If I had a kid I'd put them in BJJ for sure. No CTE, just gotta worry about a call from the school saying they heelhooked some kid.

 

[Tayski]

The only way I'd want to train BJJ is if the class was just full of fit birds.

 

[aerius]

I just smoked a Joe Rogan amount of weed. Maybe this will help me understand sub grappling better.

I can't say I understand any better, but it was more entertaining than usual. I think that's a win for weed.

marketability says Rutolo 1000% won lol

Langaker is on fumes. Ruotolo barely breaking a sweat. Don't let anyone tell you age doesn't matter in fighting, lol.

After a long nap I'm in. Hello all.

And even though they don't want to eat their vegetables at least they're getting the cauliflower ears!

 

[Poirierfan]

Ruotolo isn't even breathing while the other guy is sucking serous wind. Lol

 

[Liverkick-king56]

I usually feel like 1 does a poor job of getting good talent for their BJJ champs and it ends up being a 1 sided leg attack domination but that was a fun match.
BJJ looks like such a different sport from 10 years ago so much more complicated but watching these guys go at it was beautiful even though I'm lost on a ton of it

 

[don't ask]

Lingaker has had some damn near miraculous guard retention. There were a few moments where I couldn't understand how he kept a leg in.

Good late evening to you, sir.

Hopefully their coach teaches them how to handle that power they have over n00bs. Just a quick RNC or triangle and we can all go home. No need to break an arm or rip someone's knee off, lol.

I haven't seen much either. I don't know all the names of these manuevers. His use of legs trips and sweeps from X guard.

 

[Trupsi]

Just in time for the main event.

 

[helax]

Broner fight is on while this is in the meantime in between time

Yeah, from what I've seen of him I'm really impressed. I feel like I could learn a lot from him because he's not all about inverting.

Man I’ve been in Sweden 3 years ago (I stayed there for my studies, did an internship in Helsingborg), and the blonde birds were super nice indeed
I joined a boxing gym and trained with a hot blonde girl (with glasses, lol) aswell as with one of Khamzat Chimaev’s best friends
