Urijah Faber vs. Chad Mendes at Grapplers Quest

[Teh1337geek]

its weird how urijah is bigger in size but fights at a lower weight class

[theguybelowmefarted]

Why is there no one there? I'm guessing this wasn't an actual match and they were just messing around.

[iamgodan]

My friend and former student Chris Holdsworth is part of Team Alpha Male. You should check out his clips.

[poolboyinla]

A lot of guys in these tournaments suck on their feet...these 2 guys do not suck.

[gogetatr12]

@poolboyinla thats what a lack of judo/wrestling and relying on bjj alone does for ya. its a mistake alot of grapplers take for granted

[anthonyrivero415]

@gogetatr12 in mma you can rely on your bjj, cause if you can outbox the guy you are good on your feet without takedowns. look at the diaz brothers for example

[jtbullfitghter]

@gogetatr12 i completely agree...i would say people who think bjj is the end-all, be-all of grappling have to work there ass off laying on their back, were as judokas and wrestlers know how to get their opponents to the ground

[thrashysludgebastard]

urijah should have went for the achilles lock there

[infestation69]

good scramble at the end. chad money is fresh outta the ncaa so i can see him being a little better on his feet. urijah still got it doe! lol

[ThleTruth]

mendes had a perfect shot at :12

[hurley56476]

@ThleTruth ? lol

[ThleTruth]

@hurley56476 ?

[bmelin]

and if Chad is the guy in the black t, his white shorts show off his ass crack real fine for a hot view

[SuckBoot]

chad mendes has some of the best grappling in mma

[elduderino19]

urijah got taken down, damn

[PrototypeCagefighter]

GRAPPLING

You see yourself being a badass but your friends will see it in a whole other way

[elduderino19]

@PrototypeCagefighter who cares grappling is the most important part of fighting

[axelles4455]

@elduderino19 very true, grappling is a dose of reality in a fight

[theguybelowmefarted]

I'm guessing neither of them have a very good guard

[TheDarceChoke]

@theguybelowmefarted Uriah Faber has a dangerous guard idn about chad though.

[theguybelowmefarted]

@TheDarceChoke They refuse to pull guard?

[theSneakySasquatch]

Lol I love how "all the single ladies" playing in the background! Hahaha

[MinnesotaCrossFitMN]

Great to see some of the top guys in the sport out supporting Grapplers Quest.

[antidoteco]

my friend was going off about his grappling...Ricky Lundell would beat him with one arm behind his back...he's good but more muscle than brains

[mixenbo90]

faber was not a d 1 national champ

[Saltwaterowl]

and then faber met jose aldo

[blizakebowman]

I make my living in the sport of MMA, so trust me when I say that Chad Mendes may be the most physically explosive human being the sport has ever seen. Ridiculous what he will be able to do when he reaches his potential. Uriah, however, has always been the man.

[NFCButtrubb3d]

@blizakebowman Love both these guys but most explosive in my book is Guillard. Just a complete freak of nature

[fearandloathinginNY]

@NFCButtrubb3d And how does Guillard have anything to do with either one of them?

[fearandloathinginNY]

@NFCButtrubb3d Nevermind bro. Just saw what you were responding to.

[ohtebowah]

@blizakebowman are you kidding me? hes nowhere near as expolosive as other guys i can think of

[em729]

I could masterbate to that

[KUSHZ1LLA]

mendez subs faber

[SuperSneakySteve]

Cool takedown!

[SiestaBay239]

mendes was a 2 time all american and an un-defeated national finalist his senior year until he lost to j. jaggers from ohio state in the finals i believe, and i think urijah was a division 1 national champion from university of cal at davis correct me if im wrong

[qazericqaz]

he comes to my highschool every now and then and does stuff with the wrestling team

[T74G]

nice....lots of slick stuff going on!!! looks like a "stalemate"...

[bright5086200]

1:25 someone is pissing LOL

[scorcher165]

Bit of x-guard there.

[WTFawk]

chad mendes is a fkn human snuggie...

[LUCASviaKIMURA]

@WTFawk by snuggie i hope you mean he just lays on people and doesnt do much of anything...

[lasnieves32]

i love how a lot of you dont get the WHOLE aspect of mma. and some of you find this boring. not all the fights in mma are going to be striking and knocking out. some fights come down to who has better grappling and/ or wrestling.

[nnjjiiu]

faber is not, i repeat, not a good wrestler. great fighter, horrible wrestler. i watched him get his face smashed throughout his collegiate career. he reaches all the time, never changes levels, and was never able to escape a good rideout. not sure why they have this video posted.

[mwilky21]

@nnjjiiu he was one win away from being a D1 all-american...that's a good wrestler. If he wasn't good then Mendes who was an national runner up and bigger than faber would have been owning him...

[tuccake]

@nnjjiiu Well this isn't wrestling, and you have to remember he was a D1 wrestler which is the highest level of folkstyle wrestling, he might not have looked good at that level, but you have to be great to make it to that level.

[gottaLOVEBrazJJ]

Find w(ALDO)

[nicklontoc]

why isn't there anybody else around ?

[DestryRoyce13]

I know both of these guys are great... But this was boring.

[dss103]

8 people are Strikers! Cant blame them Cuz im one too!

[NightsAbyssGuitar]

lol id imagine in a straight up wrestling match Chad would beat Urijah...i mean Chad was a national finalist and Urijah never placed

[johnnyquest456]

do they allow any grappling style? like how is this scored or does it just go on until submission.

[Fabyfakid]

@johnnyquest456

Check out G.Q.'s website, they award points for successful takedowns, and transitions to advantageous positions. These specific matches go for a specific time, but there are matches where it's submission only.

[jonyzion]

@Davegilcross  hehehehe

[doughboy19914]

how do u try out for this?

[Eros2586]

@doughboy19914 you dont try out, you sign up. its a HUGE tournement every year. Pros amatures they all come from all over the world. go to their website and see if they have a tourney comming near you soon.

[TitWarlord]

all tha single ladies, all tha single ladies...

[JOHNNYwxw]

@Davegilcross hahahahaha

[rurikvred]

Hey Dave Gilcross -- dawging Michael J Fox for having a debilitating and life threatening disease so you can make a joke? Sweet! You got mayja class, my little-dicked friend! Keep it up cuz you'll never be sweating over some weird health problem that sneaks up on you and re-arranges your life. You're superweener!

[slipknot3597]

@rurikvred calm the fuck down faggot whats your fucking problem

[rurikvred]

@slipknot3597

A little bit of class and taking the "high road", wannabe "slipknot" tough guy. My problem is people who post without any conscience, just to be stupidly cool. Looks like you bought into it... so -- how many people do you know with depilitating diseases, or do you run from anyone you see that has one?

[Davegilcross]

@rurikvred lol chill out bro, back to the future was the shit ! And as far as my dick size is concerned, im a little worried you're even thinking about my dick.

[luchador1764]

suprised he didnt give up his back. lol. ya, i said it.

[mrsubconscious]

put a ring on it...

[ohyeee22]

hahaha damn that was funny

[surfzach11114444]

he was actually over medicated while he was filming

[quezzie13]

why did he let that kneebar go?

[boywonder7417]

cuz urijah wouldnt tap

[jiarb]

Because they're training?

[snogawa6]

lol noones there

[ktmchick333]

urijah is a beast!!!! cant wait for Dec 12

[camman931]

what is dec 12th??

[sbmfighter]

wrestlers make entertaining bjj bouts... no ass scooting

[tombor6]

Very true.

[WhtMike2006]

No doubt! Check out Leo Vieira and Jacare!

[neo4reals]

@sbmfighter they can also make very boring mma bouts, just holding dominant position, what's your point?

[sbmfighter]

@neo4reals where'd u get MMA from? i'm talking about wrestlers doing bjj... i stated an opinion... so there is no point lol i feel like they bring a lot of energy to their bouts. check the vid again & decide 4 yourself...

[charliemurphyslaw]

@neo4reals his point is jumping to guard is weak and scooting around on your ass trying to pull someone in your guard is even weaker.

[neo4reals]

@charliemurphyslaw Good point, I think both styles have the potential to make boring or exciting matches, depending on the fighter. Urijah has the conditioning to make awesome fights

[danneda]

That was a warmup, it was dark...

[dbagz38]

who was that other dude he did good

[horel11]

looks like Chad Mendes, Cal Poly wrestler, NCAA runner-up.

[dbagz38]

i knew he had to be somebody hes tough

[DannyMullenBjj]

yep. chad won his division that day

[mourningvvood]

rly? did you ask tht? no offense but.. read the title dude.

[dbagz38]

alright quief lips i meant does he fight somewhere

[cowsalot]

na not like dat

[Z1onseven]

better towards the end

[cowsalot]

i would totally grapple with uriah

[FOXHOUND415]

i hope ur a chick lol

[xlman9]

@cowsalot i dont think that would be a good idea, but you would have alot of balls fore doing it, ill give you that
