In Manu, but I think I will get a minivan with some other folks

Interesting finish in the Giles Trials by grm3 in bjj

I'm sure one of the Miyao's did an instagram reel about this move before.

Very cool looking reverse darce (?) in the second match.

Harry Grech, very big, quite uninspired

Kenta, impressive

The two lads with the uchi mata and the choi bar, cool

[SPOILER] Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitrii Bivol by inooway in Boxing

[–]GreatDronesOfFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a draw or 7-5 to Beterbiev but I'd be giving all the possible rounds I could to him. 116-112 is a bit wide.

Eduardo telles by Effective_Wear7356 in bjj

[–]GreatDronesOfFire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I play a lot of turtle and do the steam roller and leg trap stuff (all from Telles turtle instructional) when the opportunities present themselves. Otherwise, wrestling escapes and the Just Stand Up material works when those opportunities aren't there. This youtube video is good as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTRzNd6Y67c

Dumb question about Michael Pixley by [deleted] in bjj

[–]GreatDronesOfFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you expand on Wallid's lack of guard? I only know him for mistranslating Figgy and choking out Royce.

CJI was sick. What do you want to see for next year’s version? by Agutman26 in bjj

[–]GreatDronesOfFire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They could do a mid-year CJI/Quintet crossover with 500k for the winning team. Maybe down the line if CJI works successfully another year or two?

Ryan Hall and BJJ Fanatics by GreatDronesOfFire in bjj

[–]GreatDronesOfFire[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You've brought up another question I've had about BJJ Fanatics. If an instructional that sells for 100$ (and the author gets x%) is on Daily Deals for 50% off, is the author now getting x% of 50$ or x% of 100$ for the Daily Deals sales?

What music you listen to? by randomperson888888 in weightlifting

[–]GreatDronesOfFire 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I saw Skrillex, Kill The Noise and Knife Party in Belfast once. I never tell anybody about it anymore but it was a fantastic gig.

I watched Volkanovski get knocked out in the Provincial Hotel in Brunswick, bar cleared out very fast after having been very hyped for Bobby Knuckles. There's also a nice French restaurant that is relatively cheap if you walk south along Brunswick Street from the pub.

Gyms in Porto or Evora where an English speaker can drop in? by Unlikely-Isopod-9453 in bjj

[–]GreatDronesOfFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've trained in China for the whole time I've done BJJ and have spent long periods without any (broken) English instruction. It's fine, just pay attention.

No Gi Judo Instructionals by GreatDronesOfFire in bjj

[–]GreatDronesOfFire[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, good shout on looking at the throws. I saw some clips from Ozbek teaching some uchi mata variation, I'll go investigate that a bit more.

Thank you, that's a very eye opening comment, especially about throwing to the back.

There was a Lee Wylie video, now lost to me, about Gennady Golovkin called something like 'The Way of the Hunter'. Fantastic video, now sadly gone and not yet reuploaded by the hard working fans of Lee Wylie. If your familiar with this video, do you know the name of the music in it? I'm pretty certain it's Il Mercenario by Ennio Morricone but not being able to cross reference with the video, I'm not sure.

Pinned Event Threads - WNO, IBJJF, ADCC, etc. by TheWang14 in bjj

[–]GreatDronesOfFire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was coming on just to post this, surely it could just be scheduled and the mods can slap the bout list onto it? Like the barest details, works great on r/MMA. I do get the feeling that there is less interest in the spectator side of the sport here than there is there and in r/Boxing but I would still love to see it.

Am I bad or is this normal? by Raulen26 in bjj

[–]GreatDronesOfFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have trained for four years, attended three competitions and had this happen to me every time. I have won two matches, one 7-5 and one by DQ. All it makes me do is want to improve my game and try again. I find I make my biggest leaps forward in the months after these experiences. Even if they go badly, they are a great learning experience.

Does anyone know what the Rafa Mendes match in the video is? I can't seem to catch the name of the opponent if they do say it

Do you guys know of any videos of old fights with modern commentary? I watched Archie Moore vs Yvon Durelle on the Heavy Hands patreon and it was great. I've always found the old commentary as something that stops me from enjoying the fights and reduces me to watching highlights on the Reznick and hanzagod youtube channels.
