FIGHT! Life - Eddie Bravo: The Twister vs. The Legend

[OPERATIONSOFMW2]

a brown belt defeats a (sixth degree black belt) so Royler had a black belt when eddie didnt even know what jiu-jitsu was and now eddie wants to challenge a newly crowned red/black belt and he turns it down because of greediness good day sir.

[masteroflife777]

Jiu jitsu is hard man... Yikes.

[tysonantillon427]

@gamedogg89 1 match is all you need when its with a legend like royler what have you done with you life?

[Gamedogg89]

Eddie seriously dude ur fucking living off one match with royler...really Eddie c'mon man

[hackbenjamin420]

@Gamedogg89 im sure its a million times better then what ever nonexistent moment you live off of.... who are you to judge a man who has done so much... try making something with your own life befor you tell someone else what there's is worth

[Wrestlefan1]

@Gamedogg89 thats not necessarily true.. Hes living off of what he created.. Hes living off of the tenth planet system... and yes defeating Royler was a big plus in getting eddie where he is.. I mean not many people could beat any of the Gracies in a BJJ match.. it takes some serious skills to do that

[SplinterProd]

@Gamedogg89 , When you are the best, you get to fight with the best. If you win, you are the best ! Think about it

[pinealchakra]

@Gamedogg89 And what are you living off of? your computer?

[xxcage223]

tap out a gracie dammmm

[918Anon]

@DiabloiiGod He popped his rib trying to defend an arm-triangle choke.

[MrSmitht04]

Eddie did a great job. But at the end of the day Royler has accomplished way more in grappling than Eddie ever has.

[poganla123]

@MrSmitht04 SO????

[PaperNun]

Eddie Bravo may you live forever.

[InternetLoveMachine]

THAT IS A FUCKING AWESOME RANDY RHOADS JACKSON, AND A GIBSON V IS BACK THERE TOO. FUCK I WANT THAT SHIT EDDIE!

[ms1454]

Alien arms lol

[JanicesSonHarpo]

if you like eddie bravo watch this..

watch?v=ruztgg3F5Lw

[Alchy21]

all this right before Leo Viera DEMO'D the living shit outa him.

[pearcemark2]

@Alchy21 Wow, he beat up an exhausted brown belt. How impressive.

[poganla123]

@pearcemark2 loool i agree but remember leo is a bad motherfucker one of the best eva but eddie WAS a brownbelt so defeating him was expected

[ms1454]

@pearcemark2 Who said he was exhausted? Are you Eddie? Nope. Your dumb to think the results would be any different had he been fresh.

[pearcemark2]

@ms1454 I'm not Eddie, but I'm a fan of Eddie and he's stated how exhausted he was after the Royler fight. And he should have been, he just submitted highly respected 2 black belts in a row, the second in a grueling match, as an unathletic pothead brown belt.

I don't know if Eddie would have won under other circumstaces, likely not, but you can't deny reality. Was he a brown belt? Yes. Was he exhausted? Yes.

So Leo beat up an exhausted brown belt. Them's the facts.

[poganla123]

@pearcemark2 EXCELLENTLY SAID!!!!!. lool i dont even kno if thats a real word.

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 Leo had fought twice as well. Belts don't mean shit in No-Gi. Dude got raped. Stop making excuses.

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon Haha, don't be a retard, kid. Belts absolutely "mean shit" in no gi. They signify experience. You don't magically lose that experience because you're not wearing a piece of clothing, dummy.

Was Leo a black belt? Yes.

Was Eddie a brown belt? Yes.

Was Eddie an unathletic stoner? Yes.

Leo beat an unathletic stoner brown belt. I'm sorry that facts hurt your feelings.

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 .Belts don't mean shit in no-gi. Eddie is definitely athletic, you don't win the ADCC trials and make it to the semi-finals in the main tourney without being athletic. And, I don't understand what smoking weed has to do with anything. Lots of BJJ world champs smoke weed , they just don't constantly brag about it like Eddie.

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon How do belts not matter in no gi? You understand that belts are given to purely no gi practitioners, right?

If belts didn't matter, there would be no divisions.

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 Eddie is one of the only guys who does that. Josh Barnett, Jeff Monson, and Jerry Rinaldi are a few exceptions who have never worn a gi. ADCC has no belt divisions.

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon You don't train, do you? Because if you did, you would realize that they don't have divisions to jerk themselves off.

When you enter a no gi competition, you're not allowed to enter the beginner's division as a black belt. You know why? BECAUSE YOU'RE A FUCKING BLACK BELT.

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 Yes, I do train. And, the divisions are based on experience (1 yr, 3 yrs, 5yrs, etc.), NOT BELTS(unless it's IBJJF, but we're talking ADCC). Some people are still white belts at 3 years, BJ Penn was already a black belt. If we're talking ADCC, everybody who qualifies or is invited is an expert-level No-Gi grappler (whether they have a black belt in BJJ, or not). You're excuse about Eddie being a brown belt doesn't mean shit. Eddie is a one-hit-wonder(Buster Douglas) get over it.

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon HAHAHAHHAHA what a butthurt little baby.

How bad did it suck for you when Royler pulled the biggest pussy move in the history of jiu jitsu? Such a pathetic little dick tucking bitch.

He must've started studying tape and realized "Holy fuck, I can't compete with this. I've been training to grab a cloth and yank it all this time, this fucker's gonna molest me and make me look retarded."

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 LULZ, YOU DUN GOOFED. IMMA REPORT U TO DA CYBER POLICE AND TEH STATE POLICE. IF YOU EVAR TRY TO TROLL ME AGAIN, CONSEQUENCES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon The sound of a Gracie dicktucking

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 "dicktucking" is probobly the gayest insult I've ever heard. You are a fail-troll because I'm not raging one bit. Step yo game up, son.

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon tuckin dem balls in dem gi pants

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 Eddie wears Gi pants.....

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon Eddie doesn't accept a match and dicktuck like a pussy

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 No, he gets fucking smoked, makes up a story about being injured, and dicktucks out of ADCC 2003.....

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon Dicktucks out of an event where he submitted 2 black belts in a row in grueling matches, one legendary black belt who NOBODY had ever submitted who was the favorite to win the competition and hadn't even had a point scored against him for years in a row.

Yeah, that sure was a dicktuck....of uhh....some kind....I guess?

ROFL Royler Gracie biggest pussy in the history of the planet.

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 Actually Royler had been tapped with a clock choke in the absolute div. of the mundials several years earlier. Eddie got raped and embarrased, so he quit.

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon Eddie raped and embarassed a legend, which is more than he ever hoped to accomplish a pothead musician who only took up jiu jitsu as a hobby so as to not get fat like Yngwie Malmsteen. Of course said legend, when offered the shot at redemption, pussied out like a big sloppy vagina bitch because he knew he would be molested by this silly stoner's new techniques. Can't blame him, if I grappled for 40 years and a guy I was gonna fight is doing shit I never saw before, I'd shit my pants too

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 Mario Sperry was the one who tapped Royler BTW. Eddie was getting smashed for 99% of the fight, and lucked out with a hail-mary triangle at the very end. Royler is still the 3x ADCC champ and 4x mundial champ. Eddie has ZERO actual titles(besides "that dude who beat Royler that one time") Also, Brazilians have seen all of Eddies tricks before. The lockdown is an old judo move, Nino Schembri was doing "rubber guard" long before Bravo even trained, twister is a wrestlers guillotine..

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon Anderson was getting smashed 99% if the fight and "lucked out" too.

Royler is still the biggest sissy coward in BJJ history.

Nino wasn't doing anything near what Eddie does. Nino had a very loose shitbag grab-the-foot-loosely-and-do-n­othing technique that is nothing like rubber guard.

Eddie credits Lebell for teaching him lockdown and credits wrestling for the twister. JJ Machado is the one who changed the name, because there's already a guillotine in JJ.

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 Nino actually has won world championships with his style, Eddie hasn't won shit. Royler has fought his entire life in BJJ and has several MMA fights. Eddie never had the balls to do MMA at all, yet claims his style is the best for it.

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon Denny will go ahead and win a title for Eddie. As will Vinny Magalhaes, since he'll be repping 10th Planet this year too.

Eddie would be repping 10th Planet at ADCC, but Royler is a gigantic sissy bitch

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 Denny gonna get smoked. Vinny trained in the gi all his life with Royler and his students. He's gonna get smashed too doing +99 kilo division.

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon Vinny trained in the gi with Royler, and he's openly admitted that Eddie has helped him FAR MORE with his no-gi game than Royler ever did. He saw Eddie's win and instead of shunning him, he went to him for help.

And now he won the M1 Light Heavyweight Title with a mounted gogoplata, reppin 10th Planet all day. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 lol M1 title is horseshit. Vinny is fighting Russian bums in a promotion run by mafia and with no athletic commission. Those fights are probably fixed, anyway. Funny how when Vinny fought in America, with an AC, and in promotions were the fights are real, he got fucking smoked. Dude had to go to Russia to get a win lol. Xande Riberio(Roylers student) was the one who beat Vinny at the last ADCC.

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon Haahahaha, what a sissy

Vinny actually had a staph infection in his last fight, gassed BAD, and still got the gogo.

Remember when Royler went to japan and got brutally KO'd like a chump? And that other time when a catch wrestler snapped his shoulder?

The gi didn't do shit for him that night LOL

[918Anon]

@pearcemark2 Because he's fighting fucking nobodies in a barn in Russia lol. As to Royler losing, At least Royler had the balls to actually fight MMA, Eddie never would.

[pearcemark2]

@918Anon Eddie never wanted to fight MMA. He admits that he hates getting hit and would have a glass jaw. Hence, the creation of the rubber guard for other likeminded individuals. You're on your back but you're not taking any damage, you can drop punches and elbows at will, work for a submission or sweep, and your opponent has no choice but to take it or back out of it and give you a chance to escape.

Pretty brilliant, eh?

[poganla123]

@918Anon dude vinny on the abu ababis against verdum with a sweep from the rubber guard

[AmericanFenian]

@ms1454

How could a person roll for 10 mins against a legend like Royler and not be exhausted?

[JPittardScrappin]

Catch wrestling's origins are British, who'd have guessed.

[dacoolestmexican]

Jus saw the Korean Zombie nail it against badboy hell yeah eddie bravo man!!!!!

[poganla123]

tell me how da fuck you cant love eddie bravo this guy is one of my idols awesome story

[2submit]

hias chin reminds me of my wife's pussy

[briant420]

@2submit Tell her to shave that shit then.

[SwaxMedia]

good job eddie

[poganla123]

what haters need to understand is that whether you like it or not mission control (rubber guard) gives you more offensive attack from bottom than just waiting for ur opponent to make mistake, what if hes awesome and never make mistakes through out the fight

[Notagayusername10]

cool story bro

[y2taner]

lol i love the end

[piratebri]

Young Joe Rogan at 0:32 !  Great story

[PortuguesePlayer21]

awwww damn

[airsoftsamtheman]

2:14 lol

[Niskam]

the people who say the rubber guard is useless know absolutely nothing about it or the submissions in it there hard as hell to get out of its just that the perfect control from the bottom

[jackattack271]

everybody always talk shit about eddie bravo cuz he submit royler gracie. i gotta say one thing . GRACIE JIU JITSU DONT GOT SHIT ON 10 PLANET . so fuck all u gracie dick suckers

[Necrobotics]

@jackattack271 and 10 planet jiu jitsu dont got shit on catch wrestling lol.

[jaycedace]

Eddies so cool hes got a w against royce as well

[AudienceKiller66]

@jaycedace royler.

[Viktir666]

"Royler had skinny little alien arms" haha. Hilarious.

[Svittidiu]

All the 10th planet jiu-jitsu and Eddie Bravo worshipping just because he happened to beat Royler ages ago. Fucking clown.

[Steadno]

'bjj master'????

[SpartanJKD]

Alien arms... lol that's funny!

[27Thevolta]

Bravo is my BJJ hero

[egofactory]

To me, he's the Dennis Hopper of submission grappling. Could care less about his victory of Royler, but I LIKE his videos! Osssss Eddie. Keep doin' what you do.

[nkyryry]

only american to tap a Gracie right there

[leondinho10]

@nkyryry what about bj penn?

[Zendi56]

@nkyryry Matt hughes was about to do it but he knew that Royce would not tap so instead he chose to TKO him instead

[pmann12345]

10th planet baby

[glenndez420]

Since when is EB in Trivium haha

[Hector2028]

I went to one of his seminars and he told me a story.. Hes a great story teller. Hilarious dude!

[918Anon]

You know what's funny? If you really watch close, it's obvious that Eddies win over Royler had nothing to do with the "rubber guard". He faked a butterfly sweep, then threw a triangle on. What part of that had anything to do with "rubber guard"?

[cbproducktions]

@918Anon

I know, he beat Royler at his own game, classic BJJ.

Great story, very inspirational.

[AlexVictorEverett]

Still bragging about his only impressive victory... He started crying because he realized that he's about to get his ass kicked by Leo Vieira. I am getting sick of constant mentioning of him beating Royler in every 10th planet/Bravo video. Look at Marcelo Garcia, he defeated Rolles Gracie, Renzo Gracie, Gregor Gracie, Andre Galvao, Damian Maia, and Babalu just to name a few. Do you ever hear him bragging about it?

[Junglist1977]

So Mastering the Twister book is describing Eddie's top game...I wasn't aware that he had a top game.

[duff0996]

cool eddie u r veery legit

[okicat1]

this flaming homosexual had one fluke win and made a life based on it. after his fluke win against royler, what happened the very next match? yeah, he was destroyed. the mexican midget needs to take his dick out of joe rogaines mouth and stfu

[BrocK2026]

Eddie Bravo made his mark bcus Gracie Family were undeafeted in BJJ and fighting for 10 years Eddie was the first one to ever win the Gracie family were the best at BJJ and to be the best you have to beat the best technically well in sport thats how it works

[WhtMike2006]

@AABOI, no he's not gay. In fact, he chases down any chick with a big ass. I guess that's his thing.

[iamaGod357]

LOL WHAT LITTLE A PUSSY CRYIN BITCH

[HyperColours]

@iamaGod357 Yeah you just failed at lilfe buddy!

[rocwiler0]

@iamaGod357 you fail at life

[snakerattle79]

Royler will beat 99 out of 100 times

[jcham979]

Did they cut the part where he go owned by Leo Vieira, losing by the most points in ADCC history?

[SamCamStudios]

@jcham979 Eddie will always admit he got destroyed by Leo, he knew he wasnt the athlete Leo was. If you tapped out Leo wouldnt you be fucking stoked even if you got destroyed by Royler? Tapping a legend is tapping a legend... regardless of whether you win or not. He is more of a theorist and mentor than he ever was an athlete or competitor.

[aaboi]

not discriminating gays or anything, but can tell me whether hes gay? i heard that he was

[votumseparatum1]

@aaboi - I don't see how Bravo's sexual preference matters or is relevant, but NO, Bravo is not gay. If he was, I think that would spread like wildfire in the MMA world.

[aaboi]

It doesnt matter, I was just curious whether he was gay or not.

[Reddoggystyle]

I heard a this guy but have no idea who he is, how is he a mma legend?

[votumseparatum1]

@Reddoggystyle - Bravo is not a MMA legend but a BJJ legend. Famous for beating Royler Gracie, when he (Bravo) was just a Brown belt. He does MMA commentating and sometimes acts as a judge. He has books and DVDs on his own style of BJJ, and he is a well-known advocate of cannabis.

[goldfinger123]

Eddie is not a mma legend...

[SeikanJodanTsuki]

@goldfinger123: No shit Sherlock. Eddie has never competed in MMA, so how would he be a legend? He´s a straight up BJJ guy and whether people like it or not, he´s put his mark on BJJ.

[GHRepresent]

how has he put hie mark on bjj. expalin that to me. so u just have to beat royler once and u are legend. That's preety weak mark. he is not a world champ at anything,nor has he created any with his style. so fill me in on how this man has left a mark.

[chilly162]

Well he has you leaving comments about him on Youtube videos! What have you done?

[ipv4]

@GHRepresent

You're not to bright are you?Go research before you spout off about stuff you don't have the slightest clue about.

[GHRepresent]

@ipv4 I guess God gave u a mouth, so idiots like u can just open it.  if u care to fill me in, what exactly am i supposed to research about this guys. stop sucking eddie bravo off, there is nothing special about him. rubber guard,yeah right , see how far that gets u. get a brain, tranplant one, fuck do anything , just get a clue. Americans will believe anything. dumbasses

[ipv4]

@GHRepresent

God, who is god? Have you met him you retard. You obviously don't have an apprecation of bjj , so just fk off already.

[GHRepresent]

ohhh k, u one of those ppl. no wonder u hugging eddie bravo's nuts like he is dadddy. get a clue son

[ColdplayyalpdloC]

@GHRepresent , until you grapple with Eddie and completely crush his guard 100% of the time, you can not say that the Rubber Guard is ineffective. Obviously there are holes, but it is the same for any guard. People don't realize that the traditional guard results in a submission about 25% of the time; Eddie is just trying to raise the percentage.

[GHRepresent]

@ColdplayyalpdloC it will work against lower level competition. agaisnt the highest it won't work. and don't even give me that rolyer gracie stuff cuz believe that's a one time thing only. That is why eddie is cowering behind his pure theoretical jargon.

[ghotter]

@GHRepresent really thats weird...i mean if it doesnt work why use it right? i mean just tell that too all the professional fighters using it in MMA.

[WhtMike2006]

@ColdplayyalpdloC Why didn't one single person use the rubberguard at ADCC 2009? The fact is that it shuts down your own hip mobility, which is the opposite of the principles of JiuJitsu. Everyone should know it, but there are no elite players that use the rubberguard regularly.

[ColdplayyalpdloC]

@GHRepresent, Are you seriously asking how Eddie has made a mark? You are watching his video aren't you?...hmm

[WhtMike2006]

@ColdplayyalpdloC Right after the Royler match he lost to Leo Vieira 19 to -4. The win over Royler is huge, but all the blind followers not even in 10th Planet won't stop talking about how Eddie's system is the best because he tapped Royler 7 years ago.

[ColdplayyalpdloC]

@GHRepresent, Again, It is obvious that Eddie is NOT better than Royler. Royler was a black belt before Eddie even knew what jiu jistu was. Eddie does not claim to be either. Some of the idiot 10th planet fans who like it because Eddie smokes weed are the ones spreading that. He has given homage to Royler on numerous ocasion and recognizes him to be the great legend that he is. But there is no denying that Rubber guard is effective.

[deemon16]

@ColdplayyalpdloC

heck yea is it.

Especially against wrestlers who are content with taking you down and not bothering to posture up or put any real effort to pass guard.

Works awesome in MMA too for the same demographic of people (lay n pray wrestlers)

[ColdplayyalpdloC]

@GHRepresent Everybody seems to forget that it is merely a style of guard and does not always result in a submission just like the traditional closed guard. If a guard works 30% of the time, then it should be considered a great style of guard. The guard is only good as the one utilizing it.

[puppetmasta]

reviting tale chap!

[Bigbadwolfmedia]

any chance of him talking about his fight against leo vieira?

[SamCamStudios]

@Bigbadwolfmedia

He has... Your not looking hard enough. The only thing you will hear is him saying he is not the athlete Leo is. Plain, simple, true.

[jackvr32]

Dang never new he tapped out Roller.. Good Shit..

[didibjj]

ahh won't let me watch the video. so sad i cant because this guy is a real hero to me

[Mojo1982]

Awesome story, Eddie Bravo is incredible......

[MaxZUber]

i would do the same, just cry in amazement.

[votumseparatum1]

Pot heads always are good story tellers, even when they are blown. lol.

[evilscotsman88]

@votumseparatum1 like this one time... i uh... yeah..... i went tthe store for some munchies.... and i found 10 bucks .....yyyeeeeaahhhhhh dduuuudddee !!

[jappanese]

awesome story
