Matt Serra vs. Dan Gilbert @ 2000 ADCC US Trials

[kareem13000]

Its funny hearing coach Joe's voice in the background talkin to his brother. It reminds me of every practice and match we have.

[migraine516]

Serra is so cool calm and collected, and just waits for his opponent to put an arm or something in the wrong place... and its over.

[BentHenny]

BJJ is not anything without MMA!

[unliketherest1991]

@BentHenny You have it backwards. MMA is nothing without BJJ.

[hickory493]

Serra is a beast with great jits.

[mmagamer4life]

i love his style

[atreyowns]

gilbert is on of my wrestling coaches and so is his brother and some other guys that work with him there pretty cool guys,, i just started wrestling yesterday

[amartinezxx5]

it is defenetly a rule that you cant slam an opponent.(in that perticular event) boltz87 trains bjj with the local bums. hes been watching ufc for three years and thats actually what he meant by "training". wrestler beat bjj guys? really ? ask sean sherk how bj penns bjj is. even the steroids couldnt help him. i agree with andrew and airblaze..bolt your a douche

[TGUNZ562]

LMFAO @ all this arguing over slamming someone. In MMA, of course you slam someone! Has anybody seen what Rampage did to Ricardo Arona? Nothing wrong with slamming someone in MMA, nothing at all.

[Andrew861]

Matt Serra's got alot of class and truly respects his opponents. Big props to him. Gilbert is lucky that he did that asshole slam to Matt Serra; a Gracie would've ripped his head off.

[Boltz87]

Thats the chance you take by pulling guard. If you dont want to be slammed take him down...BTW im a serra fan, so no bias here.

[Andrew861]

I am not sure if you've ever trained before but there's an unwritten rule in jiu-jitsu that says slams are for assholes. Not only are they pointless (they won't help you pass guard or anything), but they have a huge potential of hurting someone.

[Boltz87]

I do train. Actually I train submission grappling. Mainly wrestling with submissions thrown in. There is an unwritten saying. This is not ballet, stop being a pussy.

[Andrew861]

Wow, you're quick to insults. I've never ever said anything negative about you. What a douche bag. It's also quite obvious that you are new to the sport but that's ok, newbies are welcome. If you ever trained in a real school, you would know that slams are forbidden. And that the truth. Try slamming someone at a Gracie-affliated school and you'll get your arm ripped out. Dickhead.

[Boltz87]

About 3 years in the sport. We are talking competition not in class. No do not slam anyone in class that is disrespectful. But if im grappling for a spot at ADCC then im doing everything that is legal, last I checked, if you pull guard I can slam you.

[Andrew861]

Sure its legal, but its considered an 'asshole' move. That's what I'm arguing here. I am not arguing the legality of the move. I am a purple belt at Gracie Tampa and everytime I've seen someone slammed, there has been serious repurcussions. Either the person who is slammed gets hurt by the slam or the person who slams gets hurt (by his very angry opponent). Hopefully this makes sense to you.

[AirBlaze]

you're a faggot wrestler. Before you open your mouth you should learn jiu jitsu. Not only is slamming an opponent completely retarded, it is extremely hard to pull off. Sometimes it can catch a jiu jitsu guy off guard, but most of the time attempting to slam an opponent will just result in your arm ripped off or you going to sleep. Try that shit in your academy. Oh wait, you train at some fake ass no-gi only gym of pussies. Try that shit at a real Gracie Jiu Jitsu academy and see what happens.

[Boltz87]

I love how its a Gracie gym. Why not a Machado Gym? Or a Gurgel Gym? Or a Migliarese Gym? A top tier wrestler with BJJ defense will always beat a top tier BJJ guy with wrestling defense. Its proven.

[AirBlaze]

That's why GSP dominates all his wrestling opponents? Don't get it twisted GSP even says he's first and foremost a BJJ guy over wrestler and he started with BJJ not wrestling (of course he initially started Karate). What's proven is I rip the arm off of faggots like you. And the fact u put Migliarese gym up with teh Machado's... wow. I mean I know hes a relson black but his academy is not on the same level of a Machado. and wen u say gurgel im assuming u mean alliance?

[jeremysoon2b19]

Its actually a clear written rule that you can't slam while in an opponents guard, the ref just let it slide

[phorty40]

you cant help but like serra. he has so much class.

cant wait for hughes vs serra!

[Gabkicks]

yeah serra is a really cool dude, but at the same time it is a bit cocky to behave like that after a match, :p like a teacher who has just given a lesson to a student.

[raoulthompson]

I saw it as brotherly love, like you spar with a dude, you knock him down, pick him up, give him a pat, same as any other sport

[jmoney1941]

Wats the story with Matt's breathing? Is that a Gracie thing he picked up?

[Tapeveryone666]

im surprised none of those sissies popped a bonner

[jekylfoot]

Thats funny!

[raoulthompson]

no matter how much shit you type on youtube, no one loves you. :D

[haygoodfly]

that was awesome... i love Dan's answer to the armbar... i love how Serra developed a counter for it in the middle of the fight... beautiful

[figthersdreams]

Gilbert was tough. I'd like to see the Machado fight

[zodom1]

Matt is such a classy guy : )

[dawson01912]

what? You mean arrogant? Yes. He really is.

[TimeWarp66]

Are you kidding? Not at fucking all. Matt Serra is awesome as a person. Above average as a welter weight, I really wanted to see him fight Matt Hughes, but GSP is going to beat him this April.

[ods1ODS]

he is above avg as a welter, but im really curious to see how he would do if he went back down to 155. he could do it easily. he was much more lean as a lw. he says its a tough cut but nowadays guys are cutting so much u kinda have to cut just to be on a level playing feild. imagine serra vs fitch or thiago alves, the size diff would be HUGE if sherk and tyson griffon can cut to lw then serra def can. actually id love to see sherk vs serra at lw or serra vs bj again.

[Sal1the1great]

i agree 100%

plz mat go back to 155

[Boltz87]

Tyson moved up in weight. He is not as big as Sherk or BJ

[RabidDestiny]

matt serras such a chill guy. he respects his oppenents

[stevezur]

Wanted to see this for a long time, thanks.

[dekehead]

No prob... More hard to find matches to come.
