ADCC vs CJI - starts today

The right call.

Great work.

Disappointing for Tye

Might have been a bad tactical decision from Tye to wrestle Nolf instead of just pulling guard, conserving energy for the next round. That tough match might have played a role in whatever injury he ended up sustaining.

One man’s “he got injured in the first round” is another man’s “Levi submitted him in any other comp”.

that burp at 9:28:13, LOL

Finally saw where Tye injured what looked like his knee. At about 1 min into the match when he dropped for the toe hold and Levi was rolling to defend, you can see Tye’s right knee kind of twist and he yells in pain but the mics didn’t pick it up.

Fast forward to 8:20:20 on the Stream to see it.

ADCC so far just feels boring and low energy compared to CJI

CJI ruleset isn’t perfect but with the ramp’s and the 3 round scoring system it makes for a tad more action.

Day 1 of the CJI was really amazing. After following mma and peripherally following grappling for a long time, this is the first ever event of its kind as follows:

  • High level competitors
  • legit prize money for the 2 winners
  • free and easy to watch live
  • tournament format

I would watch anything free with high level competitors, the prize money and tournament formats are just bonuses for the watching audience, but free and high level with a tournament format is killer stuff. Pretty good ruleset too. Fuck yeah. I will be at a live show tonight so will watch tonight’s action free on delay. Another awesome option to just click the youtube link after the fact with no spoilers in the title or thumbnail (olympics got this all wrong).

WT…

Are we not allowed to curse anymore?

100% spot on with the Olympics. Stream it free worldwide on YT. You’re going to kill it in ad revenue and expose more people to sports we never watch.

The resets are just annoying, you have guys purposely stay close to the edges of the mat so they can just get out of bounds to avoid takedowns. That’s in addition to the first 5 minutes with no points so guys don’t even waste their energy on takedowns and you get a bunch of half assed stand up for the first 5 minutes. There was just a lot less stalling in CJI.

How did you even see or quote my supposedly hidden post?! First time I have been somewhat annoyed by the new overlords.

They have automated bots monitoring this since 4 days ago.
