Matt Serra vs Gomi Grappling

[leadbass77]

complete domination from guard. that was great

[daltonj2317]

Matt Serra is the only other person besides Cesar Gracie that i want to learn BJJ from. He is a stud.

[thebrianel115]

serra is a beast!

[QG917]

o ok so gomi didnt tap out silva my bad u know foreigners all look the same lol

[randywilliams1234]

did anyone notice the most generic ring tone ever created in the background lol bjj rules blue on way purple than my journy to brown than black

[mattgoeswestking]

@randywilliams1234 how long did it tack you to get blue.

[randywilliams1234]

@mattgoeswestking a little over a year, but mine was delayed because of my attitude. skill wise it took six months but my attitude held me back

[Greggah]

I think grappling seems awesome. Got kicked in the head doing kickboxing, took me two months to recover. Grappling seems like a safer way to test ones skills and strenght against other fighters.

[jameswestbiz1mil]

@Greggah It is awesome. I grappled for 5 years. If you are gonna learn then don't let people slam you, don't let people do neck cranks on you, and don't let people do moves on you if they won't let you do it on them. Listen to a guy with a f#cked up back and neck, it might keep you from getting hurt.

[Brennan29]

Matt is a first class dude!!!

[gaBehcuoDsuoitneterP]

Camera man with sniffles

[TheReptyle]

2:07, holy shit, so brilliant. please revel in this people.

[TheReptyle]

gomi looks like a baby. lol

[rpiggys]

@QG917 that was Ryo Chonan.

[QG917]

wasnt that gomi who did the flying scissor i beleive it was could b wrong tho

[rpiggys]

@QG917 when the hell did gomi tap out anderson silva? I know ryo chonan did! but not gomi

[QG917]

serra did his thing...gomi actually submitted anderson silva...thats how u know mma is crazy somedays it jus not ur day lol

[patrick9296]

@QG917 Gomi's a lightweight and anderson's a middle weight. They never fought and never will

[Thawolf878]

@QG917 video of this pls

[jeremyda29]

Ask James toney how fake it is. Hahah. Boxing is only a small part of mma. This is grappling you moron

[DoggyNLD]

@ct7320, dude...really? Is that what your really thinking? Plz tell me your joking!. Its a grappling match. Plz dont be such a ignorant dumb ass. Im suprised you know how to type.

[stackered]

Not even close... serra had complete control entire time

[scootertribe]

Who's more gay: the person watching this who thinks it is gay and continues to watch the video, or the person who has done this before and appreciates the talent and conditioning involved?

[co0kiehunt3r]

nice fight !

[parro311]

How is this anything like a real life fight? where's all the hits and kicks? an please NO offence, nn for angry comments, but how is this not gay in every single way?

[applause8777]

@parro311 ill grapple with you and show you how....

[parro311]

@applause8777 So what exactly are gonna stop me from punching and kicking you while you try to make love with me on the floor?

[hallandrewe]

@parro311 The second you threw a kick I would single leg you and take you down and choke you to sleep....grappling beats striking 9/10 times in a one vs one...

[MrRoylatham]

@parro311 this is only one aspect of fighting. it still is an important aspect. original jiu-jitsu used in battle when a disarmed enemy was taken to the ground and either had his limbs broken,choked to death or both. later helio gracie made gracie/brazilian jiu-jitsu to help a smaller weaker person who is being attack by someone much bigger.

[serguei92]

Gomi is good in the Ground, but Serra is World Class.

[krizsz]

Gomi has 10 accounts  lol

[glock164]

i dare anybody who calls this gay to step on the mat in any form. wrestling, bjj, judo, sambo or otherwise, and i bet you they wont think its gay for much longer. cause thell be unconscious.

[phillymaxx7495]

@glock164 couldnt agree more

[SuperSneakySteve]

Gomi sucks!

[kristichelw]

that was good, renzo gracie black belt, he might even be a 2nd degree right now

[MLee1692]

Dam Matt Serra's jiu jitsu is legit.

[TopazSkillMauler]

now lets see aoki vs serra

[Sal1the1great]

@TopazSkillMauler

pure grappling id give it to serra still

[TopazSkillMauler]

@Sal1the1great I don't quiet understand. Grappling is mma with no strikes.. is it not?

[Sal1the1great]

@TopazSkillMauler i think serra can beat aoki in mma, and a pure grappling match!

[glitch2424]

matt serra is my hero :)

[MarcRodriguezMMA]

wasnt this the abu dahbi tournament where Serra was discovered and invited to the UFC?

[Curatalo506]

1:24, why didnt arm triangle? Wtf...

[elbowtko]

@DKMurphys77

Hate it when japs get mad, all they do is call people names and add shoe brands

[elbowtko]

that nigga is a jap, what else do you call a jap?

[irineujoaoformicoli]

o de vermelho é o serra e o sem camisa é  a DILMA?

[surlytw]

If Serra could finish, he'd be god.

[qmatkd]

im shocked you guys get upset or respond to garbage comments... only negative comments are made by those who cant grapple, and cant fight. no true martial artist of any style will ever make dumb comments such as you read here. any living human  that values his life or well being, does not want to get caught in any submission at all.

[117swordsmen]

@qmatkd well said, well said, i dont understand why people feel the need to seem tough on youtube, its youtube.

[Atlaspower78]

the're about to make some babies if it weren't for the crap armlock

[foornaa]

sick!

[Foomypoo]

Matt looks like a huge homo, no wonder he likes to grapple with other men on the floor. He gets paid to enjoy his men.

[bradzilaaaa]

gay much?

[backflp]

@bradzilaaaa

I wonder if that would be your opinion if I had broken your knee in a kneebar.

[TylerDurdenK7]

People that say that submission grappling is gay are people who have never been caught in a submission hold by a grappler. One minute you will call him gay, the next minute you will be begging for your life.

[sk8sk8sk8sk8sks8]

@TylerDurdenK7 gay for ppl who look at things gayish :)

[Manik2Magik]

Serra is a bad man

[Zeddy100]

Serra was all ova the LAP DUDE

[thegodofpop1]

gomi has poor form and "feel" for grappling. he had so many openings yet he never took them.

[immapunchnordbak]

The jap got destroyed...he only prolonged the end result.

[kiyotaka173]

sorry  nanntoka toka(laugh)

[kiyotaka173]

なんとか　とか（笑）

[Mr70fordmustang]

@kiyotaka173 speak english faggot

[GetBeasty]

Dang, every time I see Gomi compete, he loses. What a shame.

[phipps121]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O SERRA PWNS GOMI

[cptprice14]

is the goal of grappling competitions to submit your opponent? im a wrestler so in my wresting matches you can win by points or by a pinfall. is the only way to win here by submission??

[adamquerques]

@cptprice14 no you can win by points also. no pins though. submission or points only.

[NYAssassin]

At 2:08 amazing transition from Serra

[ACEOFTHEBLITZ]

that was a hell of a roll!

O.O

yo.

stop saaying "jap" shitz disrepectful.

just spell it you u lazy phucks.

or ill come looking for you "weeaboo" asses!

[bravo7120]

deep rear naked !!

[Arcturistheballer]

Gomi is fighting florian and judging by this video he is going to get run if it hits the mat. If florian can put Guida on his back then he can probably put gomi there too.

[ge0rge559]

@Arcturistheballer this was like 4 years go moron

[Arcturistheballer]

@ge0rge559 lollololol and the same shit happend 4 years later about an hour ago

[Ahhhoki]

@ge0rge559 Yeah and it goes to show Gomi hasn't improved his conditioning or his grappling ability since this time. A lot can be improved in four years and Gomi clearly has not put a lot of work into his game. The fact that you call somebody a moron for saying something you disagree with just shows how idiotic you are and ignorant in regards to anything related to MMA or BJJ. So save everybody time by not posting comments.

[garynotrashcougar]

take that fireball kid

[Stanky5000]

It sounds like Bruce Buffer doing the announcing. Fun to watch. But the camera man needs to blow his dang nose. That snorting is disgusting.

[mmagamer4life]

it is he does the annoucing for adcc

[kingtwenty20]

fuckin asians are disgusting, i see and hear them do this all the fuckin time..i wanna punch them out, ugly fuckin habit of theirs....

[TEB055808]

@kingtwenty20 wtf are you taling about?

[sandmman89]

does anyone know where i could watch serra vs penn?

[Brock678]

you could watch serra vs penn at the UFC web site by clicking into their Media store, which is like a $1.99. but they dont have it anywhere on youtube i even looked for myself, but there was this was one web site if you just type it on google or yahoo it should bring it up with his Serra's other gihts again Din Thomas and Ywes Edwards

[georgyfontaine28]

which grappling tournament was this?

[owariaki]

@georgyfontaine28 ADCC

[georgyfontaine28]

thanks

[akbill2]

This is very old.I'm quite sure tha Gomi have learned a thing or 2 since then.

[djredrum26]

Matt Serra completely OWNED Gomi...

Gomi will get finished fast by BJ Penn especially considering that Matt Serra beat BJ Penn (judges screwed him over).. Dana White apologized to Serra about it.

[zackbunner21]

yeah man, can't belive they gave that fight to penn...bullshit

[linguaciceronis]

one the most exciting grappling matches i've ever watched. pretty sweet

[Challangerxx]

i think a gay man would be happy to do this sport hahahahahahahahahahah

[Elipticle]

your a gay man

[yukiism]

cameraman should take a sec to blow his nose. stop snorting it's gross

[doncojones]

Blowing your nose is gross.

[fightstardeluxeco]

Grappling is the best, look for my flying submissions videos

[imthebigbadwolf]

why did it take so long to finish that rear naked?

[702decatur]

Gomi is tuff Matt had a hard time hiding his choke hand. Once he got gomi on the right side it went fast.

[Nqizativ1]

Well...it's good for me to see these guys outside of the octagon or whatever. So I can tell they do have skills and are not just tough guys with angry issues who know just enough to put a guy on the mat into a ground-and-pound victims position.

[SASCartman]

yeah alot of People who have encountered MMA Seem to have the same opinion as your self, But it couldnt be futther from the truth. There all Trained athletes, meany of them being trained in a certain disapline such as Jiu Jitsu or Wrestling for meany years before they came into MMA.

Alot of people tend to Cast MMA fighters in a Bad light as thugs out to brutalise there opponent and get the pay check, where as most of them are simpaly athletes that love to compete.

[Houseoferebus]

Yes agree...that why I am more drawn to grappling comps than MMA due to the face that in MMA you can have an animal Kimbo who is brute force with little technique. But I like Graplling and MMA anyway

[moonerjamerson]

We all know who'll win in an mma match ;)

GOMI

[ChicagoHXC311]

agreed!

[Daggerfall40]

After reading some of these comments, I get the feeling that nobody has really seen Gomi compete anywhere outside PRIDE Bushido. Gomi is a phenomenal freestyle wrestler and probably one of the most dominant champions in All Japan Combat Wrestling along with the likes of Rumina Sato. He has trouble with BJJ stylists but he basically got through Shooto relying mostly on his grappling, so please give him a little more credit. Serra deserves major props for out grappling a stud like Gomi.

[voorhees187]

Gomi is smaller than Matt.

[Mannypacquia0]

yeah by maybe 5 lbs

[leemustdie760]

Btw nice work by Serra.. That was some nice guard work going for an omaplata then getting his back :D

[Mannypacquia0]

if fedor was also doing the ADCC he would probly emerge undefeated in that too ;p

[victhebjjpredator]

noo waaayy

[Mannypacquia0]

lol ok are you sure?

[victhebjjpredator]

yea im sure. if i wasn't i wouldnt have said nothing.

[leemustdie760]

Yea Fedor in my opinion is worlds greatest MMA fighter, but not the worlds best grappler. I'm sure he would do pretty good though.. I hope he competes this year :)

[Mannypacquia0]

yeah, well in sambo hes basicly like over 500-1 lol like his crenditionals in sambo is pretty godly, in the ADCC he would be one of the few sambo practitioners in the world.

[TheLatinoSamurai]

True and he was a very good at Judo as while . He was on the Russian National Team .

[Mannypacquia0]

yeah, in sambo, he has never gotten lower then 3rd place, hes like one of the most dangerous sambo practictioners in the world. same with judo, i mean lol surprisingly he throws some big guys around the ring

[TheLatinoSamurai]

I think that he will show the World that you dont have to be a Bjj fighter to be a high cailber grappler . I think some people in this world believe in the " One style rules them All " way of thinking . I have spared with many types of grapplers of different stylesand they are all good depending on who I fought .

[Mannypacquia0]

yeah true, it depends on how they use there grappling style to there advantage, not " bjj owns all" not the case when a world class bjj practiioner fights fedor ;p

[TheLatinoSamurai]

Yup its true . I love how Fedor is calm before , during and after his fights . I hate how people just try and show of and talk trash . Fedor is a good example of how a person should be in and out of the ring ,cage , mat etc .

[Mannypacquia0]

yeah some people doucheout on fedors physique, but hes defenitly in shape, i mean his cardio is rediclous he could be one of the first worldclass fighters to compete on ninja warrior, i mean bobby olosun isnt showing what mma fighters are madeof outside of the fighting world..

[crunkwun]

Damian Maia's the man when he pulls guard. Very dangerous on his back.

[theeuprise]

serra is the man! i can't wait for ufc 98!

[quutamo87]

sorry but this is the type of matches in which you only have ti use submission techniques right?? sry but I'm new to this... =P

[Vinasaar]

yes :)

[thepiratep]

yes its just a grappling match, matt serras jiu jitsu is actually very good, and gomis submission defense seemed pretty good as well

[covGuk]

seems like sra was going easy.

he could of put the jap dude in a kimura, he had wrapped around his legs 1:14

and he could of put him in a rear choke near the end.

but the jap dude looked atleast 10IBs lighter

[Mattttl42]

That "jap dude" is Takanori Gomi, one of the best LW's in the world, a lot more successful than Matt Serra in MMA atleast. And Serra only has 15 lbs on him.

[matwizard]

if you ever called takanori gomi jap dude to his face he would anhillate you, and if you ever did it around me i would slap the taste out of your mouth.

[DOw0rkk]

@matwizard Are you a jap dude too?

[DOw0rkk]

@matwizard I would slap the taste out of your mouth but i think you deserve to taste dick all day.

[B00glefop]

@matwizard but hes japanese

[xxAjFxx]

@matwizard no you wouldn't your a pussy

[B9King937]

@matwizard what if he doesnt have taste in his mouth?

[migraine516]

@matwizard LOL @ "Slap the taste out of your mouth". That's one I'm gonna have to remember.

[StuntMasta]

@matwizard jap

[Vinasaar]

man, matt serra is really good :)

[prooc]

Yeah at laying on his back like a bitch.

[Vinasaar]

this is BJJ. you're either on top or on your back.

he did great from his back, with submission attempts and submission details.

idiot.

[prooc]

Heh shut up you ginny finocio.

[Vinasaar]

woops, not details, I meant defense. :)

[mk2snake]

grappling is the best

bitches!!!!

[Foosaurus]

great match

[crystalnrich]

You'd get your ass kicked by the gayest grappler any day.

[pinkwrapbub]

grappling is gay porn with clothes...just carry a gun.

[crystalnrich]

Then why are you searching for it on youtube? FAG!

[Atheistjeremy]

Let me guess, you're 12-years-old?

[jag7211]

Wow...gomi got tooled

[sanantonio7]

i respect serra BUT he talks way too fucking much

[NidisListenstoShit]

You already talk too much shit about people you've never met.

[TheSentientOne]

fer real.

[prooc]

Serra's the luckiest bitch in the history of mma.

[NidisListenstoShit]

You're an internet bitch. I'd rather be a lucky one.

[happymand]

So patient... A very big virtue in grappling

[justfine77777]

Serra has good bjj. Can't wait until he fights Hughes.

[FlakJacket86]

yup hes gaining weight hardcore, i noticed it for his title fight against GSP when he lost....

[Mrgyn]

When the match starts Matt Serra almost looks like a frog. Wicked display of grappling from two of my favorites!

[PhilTHC]

I think shorter people have the advantage in grappling

[Crisco30029]

jiu jitsu was designed for short people, it was the japenese way of defending against enemies bigger and stronger than them.. take them to the ground and exploit natural vulnerabilities

[SugarSw337]

yes and no, all depends on what your trying to do, some submissions are very handy to have long limbs to pull off, others being shorter is very helpful, Chokes for example are very dangerous if you have short arms, makes the choke much tighter

[PhilTHC]

It's hard to armbar people with short arms too

[loogy123]

it depends. its harder to submit a shorter person cause of their limbs but its also harder for them to submit others. armbarring is easier for a shorter person i think. also its ridiculously easy for a tall person to get caught in a leg lock, im 6'3 and i always get worried when people go for my legs. but triangling people at 6'3 is disgustingly easy to do same with sweeping.

[Exarch01]

if you pull guard does your opponent get points for taking you down?

[Nyackhockey14]

Nope. no one gets points because its not really considered a takedown

[Crisco30029]

in my tournament submission wrestling u give him points... because he ends up on top.. in gi you don't lose any.. weird

[Nyackhockey14]

wow thats weird being as your the one that brought the fight to the ground. he is still really not in the dominant position. The reason why its not considered a takedown is because when you jump guard there are so many positions you can end up in open guard, half guard, spider guard etc. unless they somehow jump right to the mount or side mount but then they get points for a reversal

[Nyackhockey14]

[ufc3269]

matt serra gets fat if he doesn't have a fight coming up.. right now he's at 200 lbs!

i got him beating hughes by armbar

[Crisco30029]

thats cuz hes italian isnt he? losta carbs :)

[Normf666]

Catch > BJJ

[PacificFlows]

finally a jiu-jitsoka as short as i am.

[GSPP4PCHAMP]

Typical computor geeks, pretending they are really strong and they are going to KO all the real proffessional fighters in MMA! Lmao.... Those kids always crack me up... Get a Life NERDS!!!!!!!!!

[inT1Midat0r]

lol at 2:42, matt serra looks like he's completely naked.. in a very awkward position...

[DanHipp]

haha i saw that too

[saintpk]

does matt serra have any popular ufc fights other than that one vs gsp? this fucken sucks and its so gay and not tough

[mooki69]

Are you talking about Jiu-jitsu?..

[cookiemohnsta]

Dude, Matt Serra will probably be better than u ever will be!

[ElephantRage]

eaten alive. serrajitsu is no joke

[rick0631023]

All the people that say jiu-jitsu is gay or Matt Serra sucks are the ones who don't practive jiu-jitsu or know anything about it. As you can see, talking is the only thing they are doing.

[prooc]

This midget actually fights. All I say was a queer grabbing from his back like a woman in heat.
