To see Duarte just stick his arm up like that to give up the triangle when he’s getting dished out some of the same crushing strength he always delivers is just absolutely amazing!!

It seems like Duarte underestimated Meregalis stand up/hand fighting and expected to take him down when he wanted Which then led to him getting fatigued His game plan seemed bizarre with him dropping back on a leg when he was on top in the beginning

honestly his mechanics and frames where so shit that there was no threat - he pulled to an outside ashi which literally gives a leg drag if you dont have your knee and a cross lat frame in front of the person on top. he missed everything. i think if he would have pulled/rolled inside the legs to an cross ashi (maybe with a victory roll as meregali was attacking the turtle) he could have initiated a much better scramble to end up on top or in an back take .but this was just not strategically smart. not saying i am better just thinking in a logical tactical aspect. @@af4396

And Nicky Rod said Gordon's biggest strength was roids. Look at Kaynan... (allegedly) they did nothing for him here... Thanks Flo!!

The atmosphere was amazing. When Meregali took the back, the crowd energy was crazy.

Cant believe Kaynan is only 25. Jaysus but Meregali is king of both Gi and Nogi. Thats a league of its own.

Given those two facts, it would suggest that Tye has even less of a chance of winning now than in 2022. Since the probability of him winning in 2022 was technically zero (since they competed once and he lost), I'm struggling to see where the delusion is

@@jimmyjam86 I understand that probability is a long form statistic, meaning if you wanted to produce an accurate probability, you need multiple data points. For example, Tye vs Nick competing 1000 times. It's obvious that we don't have that. The only data we have is one match. Anyone that knows anything about statistics knows that if you evaluate one data point that has two possible outcomes(i.e. a coin flip) the probability of one of the outcomes occurring is either 1 or it is 0. If you flip a coin 1 time and it hits heads, the probability you can calculate of it hitting heads is 1. Period. If you want a legitimate estimate (i.e. closer to .5) you need multiple trials. We don't have multiple trials for these two competing, so the only probability we can calculate from actual data is 0, obviously. The point of this is actually that OP was using the term chance in a colloquial sense and using hyperbole to express his point. He wasn't referring to some technically precise definition of how to calculate chance. But faiz either deliberately ignored this reality or lacked to social cues to realize that that is how people communicate in casual environments. So my discussion on this was deliberately obtuse in order to express why it's silly to judge OPs comment as if it was some assertion supported by data in a scientific journal. You seemingly have missed this as well.

Nicholas recently stated that Gordon is the number 1 on noGI by far and he doesn't want to be forever number 2, therefore he will be focusing on gi, even reverting his decision of not competing on IBJJF gi events

Meregali always been about that life. Always been a nuhtbuster. Did what he came to do!

Gotta get a break down on that submission, that was quick, granted Kaynan was gassed AF towards the end, perfect time to take your opponent down, but that looks like a devastating squeeze.

He used the new finish for the head and arm triangle. Nice one. Extremely hard to get out of that one.

Finally, free content, clickbait in the title. Flo goes modern!!

Nothing more exciting than watching two guys handfight for most of the match. Jiu jitsu NEEDS to implement something like the shot clock in wrestling. If you are not being offensive (standing, top, bottom; doesn't matter) you should be penalized. That is the only way to get rid of the snooze fests
