Damn
Man you could hear it😳😳
Shitttt you can
@Joaquin Maria I had to watch it more than once but yeah
TOO MUCH. could you imagine a peruvian necktie with that intensity… DEAD
Definitely going to be controversial but im ok with it. Its competition, sometimes you have to rip things fast. In a boxing competition people get koed. Part of the game. Id rather get koed than have my knee ripped apart. If you dont like it dont compete
I agree. It’d be a WAY different story if this was just at like an open mat at the gym.
@Optic Stem agreed 10k is on the line lol 🤘🏽
I won’t
@Joaquin Maria 10k isn’t much dude
Well thats a trip to the hospital
Dude seemed to have been giving him adequate time to tap before ripping it but he kept hesitating to do so. Even after you can see the guy who had it done to him nod to his opponent like it was fine.
Adrenaline, competition, apprehension. No blame. Just a part of the game.
Gianni has no entanglement/control of the guys hips/kneeline. This is as oldschool as heelhooks get, its there – rip it. Much like getting a wrist lock at the highest level, its a savage tap or its bust. The point should be that it was ripped because it would not be finished any other way and not that he ripped it on purpose. 10k baby!!!
Not entirely true. You don’t always need the cross ashi to finish slowly. I don’t think a rip is ever appropriate.
Yeah that’s true, but for me there’s just something about the fact that it lacks the meticulous technique and control that a methodical entry into a leg lock has, that makes it less impressive.
that’s really fucked up. 10k isn’t worth that. fuck bjj competitions I guess. it’s just ripping someone’s foot off doing a move that doesn’t even work outside of the ruleset since you can just hit anyone fucking with your legs
Well it will work if you rip it
Ouch. Thats gonna be sore for a bit
There’s so many ways to not get subbed with your free leg, I don’t know where to start. This should never happen.
I’m sure you’d show Gianni how its done.
@Ross Trent that doesn’t make any sense, he won. Dude shouldn’t have let him bully his free leg like that. Stomp his armpit before he ever grabs it or invert and kick out afterwards , lock your ashi, do something 🤷♂️ he just froze and stayed squared up.
@BluntCruiseChronicles like I said. I’m sure you would have shown him how it’s done. Go teach a seminar on how it SHOULD be done. I’m sure you’ll do well.
@Ross Trent He’s talking about guy who got subbed…. Not Gianni
@Cyrus right, keyboard jiujitsu guy didn’t think about that. I would say the guy on bottom outside ashi was not laced which may have prevented the heel hook.
I get that it’s a high level competition….but dang. I hate subs you don’t have time to tap to.
JJ guys will try to escape from any position. I say rip it cause you don’t wanna lose your position and get your ankle locked in
Good thing this wasn’t karate or my man would have been Dq’d.
gotta respect karate more that this bullshit
yeah, i dont care it’s a competition and there’s a 10k prize. that move was desperate and performed with zero care for the opponent. you can get close to zero, but should never be it. unless it’s a life or death situation. i think this is unacceptable.
They are pros,its the risk you accept,there is no requirement to apply subs slowly.
@paul the guy that got hooked isn’t a pro lol. He is just some dude.
@Billy Cost just a dude in a pro competition with legit black belts knowing heel hooks are game. He was going for his own. So someone can try and rip my leg apart but I can’t to his sitting right in my lap?
Jeeez that’s rough even for a comp haha
Nah that was fucked up lol
Ooof. That knee is messed up for sure. Buddy wasn’t limping bad right then and there, but I’m sure the next day was rough.
That’s competitions for you.
You Can’t lie there and chill either. Always assume your opponent has something up their sleeve
And this is why my kids compete in basketball and not boxing or grappling. You can’t “play” grappling in competition.
You can literally hear it pop
I’m with everyone else where I just hate people who have to rip subs to get a win, but to be fair… he gave him the eyes 👀 for a longgg ass time
Karma is a bitch. No doubt Gianni will get his, if he hasn’t already
