Joel Tudor vs Rani Yahya 2009 BJJ US Nationals

[hapuzki]

i think that celebration is justified... when you win a current adcc champion.

besides hes from california so alot of his friend must be watching

[OffspringFTW65]

I know, I'm a triangle guy too, that's my bread and butter, but there are many times when I feel like I've gotten lucky to end up there, it's simply the guy making a mistake and putting his arm down there, it's not like I set it up alot of the time, nor did Joel Tudor..

[Thydeepestfear]

I can see why he would be happy with the win but I do agree that the celebration was a bit excessive considering it just shows the kind of confidence you have in your ground game.

@raulurrutia

That's not disrespectful. He's happy about his accomplishment

[raulurrutia]

[vampx2k7]

hahahaha Eddie Bravo can lick my vanilla salty balls....10th planet jj my ass,I am writing this with my GI on!! ;)

[jonathanbjj]

Rani is an awesome BB. I think he is better in no gi. Just my opinion

[ThanMurphy]

Not to take anything away from Tudor but I was not expecting that at all. I really like that triangle set up, because people tend to think they have an easy pass and just fall into the triangle.

[brboater]

I not buying it... Rani is 100 times better at BJJ than Tudor. And Rani is not a good loser

[thejetshowlive]

Buy it or not...if your a practitioner of ANYTHING ( BJJ, Boxing, Surfing..whatever) you know that sometimes you have a good day and sometimes you have a bad day. It was just Tudors day...and that's all there is to it. A "W" is a "W" He slapped on a submission and he tapped...it was sick anyway you cut it. Rani probably IS 100x better...but just not that today friend, just not that day.

[jiujitsuthug]

I'm good friends with both Rani & Joel.

I was coaching Joel that day. It was legit. It was just Joel's day...

[brboater]

That's cool. I'm not trying to take anything away from Joel, but it does look like Rani just fell into that triangle. I've rolled and trained with Rani and have the utmost respect for him and his BJJ. I watched him put a woopen on James(the colossis)Thompson in NoGi, Rani @ 140lbs and James a roided out 285lbs. Going to Vegas in December to watch him fight in the W.E.C. Take care
