Nate Diaz Grappling match also as purple belt vs Ryan Hall



If you know some other interesting grappling vids of UFC fighters please post them.

 

I really wish jiu jitsu was in the Olympics.

 

Can't believe this clown fought at Metamoris hahah

 

Sleep aide. Tried watching that Metamoris once, couldn't finish 1 fight.

 

you don't need JJ if there's Judo tbh..

 

Not a UFC fighter but here's a video of Askren owning a two-time NCAA champion at 195 lbs. in freestyle wrestling in 2013.

Judo in the Olympics has been limited to mostly upper body throws for a while now so you don't see newaza or most takedowns in those matches. It seems that they made some rule changes this year and there's been a lot more newaza.

 

Seen most of them except for the Nate vs Ryan Hall match.

Thanks for the post TS, was not expecting it to end like that. Nice.

 

Pat Barry


Miesha Tate vs Shayna Baszler


Sara McMann vs Shayna Baszler

 

Try watching Eddie vs. Royler, Kron vs. Aoki or some of Gary Tonon's matches.

 

BJ Penn


J Penne

 

Thanks for trying to generate interest but straight BJJ will never earn that. The still frame on Penn's video sums up perfectly what I think of it.

 

I don't like the judo as much. It's not the same.

 

MC vs Aoki and Shaolin, not UFC but fuck it.

 

Damn, never seen the Nate/Ryan one before, very fucking cool. Dat Kimura

 

in 4 years many rule changes can happen. usually you dont see many ground techniques in judo, that's true, but that's how the high level competition in judo is. they limit it to grip fighting until they get a perfect throw or the opponent gets a penalty. that's how the sport is. and yes, Judo isn't the same, but it's still grappling. Judo is already a big sport in the olympics, why add jiu-jitsu too? i don't see any benefit from that except a little more spectators. the jiu-jitsu world championship is big enough to be an olympic style event.

 

I love this thread
