[rijbassett]

hilarious aristaic--id love to see professor almeida enter grappling tournaments

[ajp500]

2:28 damnn

[whitewhiteboy89]

Good match. Arona is good at the points game. Almeida was throwing himself out there more.

[tittiesinabucket]

what a matchhhhhh

[UmDiaEuFicoBom]

Great fight, but Almeida fought better..

[lucas27rose]

mute



[Deesade86]

What a fight!

[Discombolulatedone]

awesome wrestling

[vitorshaolin]

What edged Arona against Almeida was not only his technique cause both of them seemed equally skilled it was the fact the Arona has just raw power.

[OVERCAPITALIZE]

Aint it funny when you take out the mats, take down will end the match?

[remstyle]

terrible music..

[xAristaicx]

@remstyle get fucked.

[Smoochy44]

Man that was intense!

[TheBaldcobra]

UMMM WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS BRING UP STEROIDS W ARONA? WHO FUCKING CARES.... YOU WANNA SEE OUTA SHAPE DUDES DOING SHIT ON YOUTUBE? FACT IS STEROIDS, WHILE THEY WILL HELP HIM RECOVER AND BE ABLE TO TRAIN HARDER AND LONGER, THEY DONT GIVE HIM UNTOLD BJJ SKILLS, HES JUST THAT GOOD. AND TO BE THAT GOOD YOU HAVE TO TRAIN YOUR ASS OFF, WHILE TRAINING YOUR ASS OFF YOU GET HURT, TO HEAL AND GET BETTER QUICKER YOU USE CHEMICALS THA T AID IN THE HEALING AND MUSCLE GROWTH PROCESS!!!!! SUCK BALLS BITCHES!!!!

[918Anon]

@TheBaldcobra capslock is for cool guys only!!!!

[happymand]

@TheBaldcobra NO STEROIDS MAKES YOU BIG AS FUCK AND STRONGER THAN YOUR OPPOSITION. YOU DONT HAVE TO BE NEARLY AS TALENTED IF YOU ARE A FUCKING MONSTER AND YOU ARE UNFAIRLY STRONGER THAN YOUR OPPONENT. STEROIDS FOR INJURIES HA YOU MAKE ME LAUGH!!! HA HA HA!!! HA HA HA!!! HA HA HA!!! counter-trolled.

[poopalover]

@happymand agreed, but i do think his skills is far superior on this one. even just his transition, nevermind anything else

[musicalmike235]

Does ADCC allow for slams? If so, at 6:04, he could have done more to capitalize on the situation. If not, then never mind.

Actually, I didn't see that much "pulling guard" there. I saw attempted flying guillotines, but those were actually honest attempts at a submission, so I guess that's open for debate.

[jeremyjacksonable]

Umm... I have a problem with the amount of steroids Arona is taking.

[aronafan]

@jeremyjacksonable i'm sure they dont. its really only frowned upon in the u.s.

[BIGJOHN3212]

What a war! Arona's a friggin' bulldog!

[PCGBJJ]

The problem with the pulling guard, from the failed guillotine, is that arona initiated the takedown. So pulling guard after someone tries to take you down counts as a takedown

[Orcrist]

Anyone know what half-guard sweep almeida hits at 5:20?

[HatredPrime]

So you need decent wrestling and some strenght to beat Ricardo Almeida , someone who wrote this description is biased , Arona has awesome bjj i sub defense skills , he was one of first bjj guys who saw that wrestling gives great advantage against pure bjj guys.You don't see much submission in ADCC nowadays just ''position chess matches''

[Rueda013]

arona looks like a bodybuilder

[dfnhedtjhrfh]

And Ricardo wins!

[cyberhmoob]

Ricardo looks totally roid or maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me.

[jkullander]

@cyberhmoob i think ur right. His frame doesn't look like holds 205lbs. naturally....

[Spaitin]

their takedowns make me sad lol. their grappling is great one the ground. but takedowns are like... wtf

[AEIOUandSometimesW]

arona was toostrong

[schapkosky]

Arona had better gameplan than Almeida , that's all ;)

[leandro552]

cachorrão foi melhor

[cristiano10758]

realmente o cachorrão foi mais combativo

[thomasclifford1]

Ilovedrums 1000 is a scumbag...

[tadeusurf1]

porra,ta de sacanagem,jiu jtsu do arona melhor?

o cara nem atacou,foi bombardeado com varias tentivas de raspagens e finalizações

vc pode amar ele,mas falar q o jj dele é o melhor forçou a barra.

cachorrão deu uma aula de como humilhar um mamute no chão.

arona só mostrou raça,nenhuma tecnica.

[ilovedrums1000]

This fag retired he couldnt shit against an aged matt hughes

[kane666]

@ilovedrums1000 this man you cal "fag" has 3 kids and one of them has autism and he has to take care of him and you FAG can't do SHIT agains a aged grandpa you computer "hero" so FUCK YOU FAGGOT!!!!!!

[TheCrewOf]

@ilovedrums1000

[socalled47]

@ilovedrums1000 Matt "Steroids" Hughes?

[XXXXXXXXZ]

Não tem jeito de Arona ter ganho essa luta. Ricardo atacou o tempo todo e ele fugiu

[cybertechinfo]

Realmente a luta era do cadhorrao kra o jiu-jitsu dele é muito bom ... o arona eh soh força ... mas faze oq ... acontece ateh com os melhores

[LacosteBoy1]

@cybertechinfo deixa de falar merda, arona acabou com a raça do cachorrao! o jiujitsu do arona e o melhor

[malabisabe]

Até hj não entendo o pq do Cachorrão ter perdido esta luta!!!! Pra mim ele passou o carro no arona e não ganhou os pontos, buscou a luta o tempo inteiro, arona não fez absolutamente nada, como sempre amarrou até o ultimo minuto!!!! E no final ainda comemora como se tivesse feito alguma coisa!!!!

[TheSleepster33]

That dude is juiced up ..... But good cardio and tech..

[andrecarollo]

Aaaii éé bruzuca galera.. num adianta ficar escrevendo em inglês fingindo que éé gringo.. Tenho orgulho de representar o jiu jitsu brasileiro (Equipe Prev - Caraguatatuba / Ilhabela - Mestre Rezende 9º Dan) Olha o respeito da faixa coral!!!

[btjackbeats]

Arona is huge! i bet this takes sick ass cardio

[tomrichugpeltho]

I knew that Brazilian guy Ricardo would win using his BJJ skills, what an amazing prediction by me

[Nightmonkey17]

@tomrichugpeltho

Um, they're both Brazilian?

[LacosteBoy1]

@Nightmonkey17 yah theyre

[xolloy01]

This is awesome! thanks for uploadin' this.

Oh BTW, UFC fighters aren't allowed to compete @ ADCC anymore right?

some used to, but not anymore right?

[padawon88]

water-baby.....too much juice

[jayzeke1]

what was that move done by Almeida at 2:31...can i have a name?

[truckieco2]

@jayzeke1

pretty much a sit-down-straight-back butterfly guard sweep with an over and an under

[shakka808]

2:30 was sick

[rout7hock]

Do they test for roids at ADCC??

[mjhanny21]

Arona is powerful

[sototajeri]

i hoped that almeida will win, he's got much better technique than arona, but arona is strong as a bear and nothing works on him

[wasub1]

New submission fighting community just launched - waSUBi com au - join for free

[PlanB198]

Ricardo Almaeida is my professor!!!! I train at his academy in Hamilton NJ.....very very nice and humble guy and a hell of a trainer..

[8ringsofshaolin]

didnt almeida get beat by matt hughes? bjj is becoming like karate it only works when you have bjj rules but not in a real fight.

[ChistaEnjoi]

@8ringsofshaolin right.... so when GSP controls his opponent on the ground he is not using BJJ? Some people think bjj is all about submissions when it is really about controlling your body and your opponents. please be educated before you bash one of the most effective martial arts in mma

[Madmac79]

@8ringsofshaolin so everytime a boxeur lose boxe becomes like karate? Everytime a wrestler lose wrestling becomes like karate? And so on and on and on? You couldn't have said something more superficial.. the best MMA fighter in the world (Fedor) is just been beaten by a Bjj player and by a basic Bjj move I learned on my first or second Bjj class..

Anyway, superb fight between Arona and Almeida. Arona was really one of the tops at the time...

[jaman987654321]

@8ringsofshaolin he just got man handled. hughes is a strong mofo and choked him out with a weird submission.

[MrCreepy92]

@8ringsofshaolin GSP, a man with no college wrestling experience and a black belt in BJJ, made Matt Hughes look like a clown on the ground before making him scream.

Btw, the current middleweight UFC champ can thank BJJ alone for the fact that he's still holding the belt.

[buffalosoldier90]

i thought jujitsu was supposed to involve using your opponents force against him and going with the flow by never resisting with strength. Why the need for weight classes? Oh yea false advertising.

[pawnshop05]

@buffalosoldier90 This is sport jiu jitsu. You are referring to Gracie jiu jitsu. The art of leverage and where survival is winning.

[ElHefeNeuroso]

04:17 .."failed guillotine counts as pulled guard"...that`s a stupid rule....he obviously tried to end the fight wuith that move...in that case it would be fair at least to give him an advantage....

[ganmarayx]

almeida procurou mais a luta.

arona como sempre o rei da amarração, jogo feio de se ver da porra.

[andre1442]

arona is too big for almeida, but dam almeida's skills are sickkkkk

[NoChokeToke]

@andre1442 I agree, but did you see Almeida vs Matt Hughes, I still cant get over it. How Ricardo walked into that choke like that at his level of jits is beyond me.

[medog2020]

@NoChokeToke Almeida took a really hard punch that stunned him right before he got choked out.

[TKORob]

Crazzzyy Cardio!!!

[fuckingarmbar]

the other guy should give Arona a power bomb

[Fadur1]

Yeah man this is really a war but ok,it was the final and it is supposed to be that way!!!

Great fight and really great song!

Thank you for this video!

[dreamextreme7]

Wow. I'm impressed by both of them!!! Bravo! That kicked ass!!!

[thunderdome77]

ALMEIDA!!!!!

[thunderdome77]

Ricardo Almeida should have won

[Armbar4you]

How many people did arona submit on his way to the finals? anyone know?

[mophoplz]

@Armbar4you Arona beat 8 ppl and subbed 1, Roger Neff via kneebar in absolute division 1st round. Neff is really more of a huge, strong wrestler, but still, the competition that Arona beat was very impressive, including Jon Olav Einemo (ADCC champ and only person to beat Roger Gracie at ADCC), Saulo Ribeiro (5x Mundials champ, 2x ADCC champ), and Jean Jacques Machado (ADCC champ, Brazilian Nat'l champ 10 years straight). Arona is too defensive to be exciting, but he is very good at what he does.

[Armbar4you]

@mophoplz His style is why im not a very big fan of his. Dude is great dont get me wrong to have victories over people you listed is no joke, and that was in one tournament! Just not a fan of his style thats why my videos feature guys like Andre Galvao!

[yagerfire]

Almeida's throw at around 6:07 is specccccctacular

[jmvacromo]

Arona a force to be respected in the top of the UFC LHW division.. rampage machida rashad Shogun here we go..

SHOGUN great Champ as always is gonna deffend the tittle for quite some time,,..

[tryanjohnson]

Arona has always looked big even when he fought Fedor -and he did pretty well too.

[tryanjohnson]

Sick!!!! This is what grappling looks like when you train from a small child.

[watchbeforeyoudie]

i've just become a ricardo almeida's fan

[sjl36]

@watchbeforeyoudie hell ya man, his skills are sick. hes got experience against bigger stronger dudes, and still displays his skills to full effect.

[fcs77]

cool video and song!

[stonethrowa]

i like how he walks him to the middle of the mat to throw him so he dusnt get hurt

[mjnmjd]

Thought big dog won.

[nirvana2465]

that really bites at 5:45

[Xaymot]

STEROIDS YAY!

[ajarnguy]

What's wrong with pulling guard?

I competed last year.

I lost points in evey round for pulling guard

but I got armbars from guard

until I got to the final

the guy escaped and I lost by one point

even though he didn't threaten me with a submission once.

I feel for Almeida.

[Mannypacquia0]

@ajarnguy you competed in the adcc??? if so, man that must have been awesome!!!

[frostedkittenz]

@ajarnguy royce used to always pull guard, nothing is wrong with it, especially if the guy is avoiding just about everything else tho. Its probably better to work for top position from the start, put pulling guard is a good plan B.

[918Anon]

6:06 WOW Arona like a cat!

[JahnNeema]

@918Anon lol i was just about to comment something like that and scrolled down and saw yours

[zezima9]

song name?

[adepsa]

0:(-2)?

Why not sqrt(pi):e^2 ?

I think it would be nicer and easier to understand.

[IzReticuli]

I don't know the Abu Dabi rules... but in a BJJ tournament, R. Arona was the winner... Is true, maybe Almeida was the moral winner, because he try all time to make the takedowns, stablish top position etc. etc... Maybe, every time that Almaida layd the bak on the mat, was 2 point to Arona... uffff. more than 6 time...

[SuperSneakySteve]

Arona sucks, that sprawl and stall stuff is gay as hell. Almeida actually tried to win.

[metalkillerasskicker]

is the anouncer Bruce Buffer?!

[Sutemi]

I feel that Almeida is a moral winner here.

[therage001]

that was an awesome match

[titimus15]

What song? An nice

[Breeforme]

It's doesn't matter if he becomes ufc champ, bjj champ, or any other bs like that, the only thig I will ever think of when I hear Ricardo arona is the rampage death slam

[Edison26Alves]

Arona vs Fedor

[Devon187]

o shit nice twelve monkeys avatar ... lol i watched it like 5 days ago.. classic.. even tho its not even old lmao

[frankenstein01]

Those dudes are massive!

[BIGJOHN3212]

@frankenstein01

yeah, arona recently got caught using roids . . . he's an awesome grappler (and mma fighter) either way though.

[Metfabbe]

Source?

[matwizard]

dude, the music, the match,.. fuckin awesome.

[respeezy]

fucking annoying noise with it cant watch this shit like this

[TeeteringBulb]

@respeezy there is a version out with no music, only the original sound.

[xhalox42]

The scramble @ 5.28 was sick and Ive seen almeida at my gym hes a cool guy, but I wasnt too suprised that arona won. It was close though.

[jamallmustang]

Isso é que Jiu Jitsu puro!! Excelentes lutadores!!! Fizeram o mundo babar !!

[Archol88]

does enyone know the title of the song?

[ArmyOfZenMonkeys]

Celldweller - Switchback

[Username101000]

@ArmyOfZenMonkeys

Nope, it doesn't even sound like a remix.

[Username101000]

@ArmyOfZenMonkeys

nope, unfortunately it's not

[mjaplace]

@ArmyOfZenMonkeys

But who's remix?

[toffeapple49]

Correct me if im wrong but i think it's the 2001 ADCC

[ArmyOfZenMonkeys]

Final of ADCC 2001 88-98kg

[jicudi]

@rofldan I says on the refs shirt...

[universalpopper]

Yeah Iono Almeida took most of the chances and was pushing the pace alot very close match and i agree Arona is fuckin JACKED!!

[oluwakamau]

Ricardo "Roids" Arona :D ....... BUT I still like him lol :D

[egglot12]

I would think Arona would get penalized for stalling.

[collif12345]

it sucks man, im not talkin shit im a bluebelt in bjj and a little amatuer wrestling backround and for Arona to be a ADCC champion I never see him push or be the agressor in the match he just sprawls and side mounts and rides out decisions, he is by far the most un technical bjj guy ive seen in ADCC i have a hard time believing he is even a black belt

[sad18240]

I see where you are coming from but you can't deny the fact that he does win a lot so he must be doing something write.

[B0l0joe]

he most definitely deserves to be a black belt i can tell you that. I agree he is often passive and not agressive, but his technique is definitely there and his control is some of the best in the world and if i am correct has never had a point scored against him at ADCC

[sjl36]

if you dont get a point scored against you against top comp. youre not being anywhere near aggressive enough. lol

[sjl36]

@collif12345 dude you dont have too good of an understanding of bjj then bc arona has a very good knowledge of bjj. has excellent subs and sub defense, but he has the ability to control from top position, so he does just that. do i think hes exciting? not at all, but he is a legit black belt. not disrespecting you by saying this though, just makin a point.

[ratqueef]

Great video

[rob2093124]

definitely a favorite

[RangerKozak]

Hope they checked Arona for riods. I've never seen him so stacked.

[kthanid83]

right like they check any of them in adcc.

[NoChokeToke]

I think I have seen him bigger, hes always been a big guy especially for 205.

[LacosteBoy1]

@RangerKozak stfu cunt.... theres no rules on ADCC about roids

[JahnNeema]

@LacosteBoy1 people who take roids are fucking pathetic in my opinion.

[mikejoner]

sickk match but Ricardo Arona is just too strong

[Supermann98]

I don't know enough of ADCC rules so I don't know why he was penalized, but to me Almeida was much more aggressive, creative, and controlling.

[rocketlovely]

I think they penalized him for the 2 times he pulled guard. It's a questionable rule tho, because both times he did it, it was an attempt for a sub. Almeida should have won, he was pushing the pace and attacking. All Arona did was play defense.

[overtenemy69]

i agree with that.

the aspect of him pulling guard in an aggressive stance (going for a sub) should have been noticed

[shel74]

Sucks Almeida got penalized he looked like he could win. Great freakin match..

[kullander15]

What is Arona's backround? Wrestling or Jiu Jitsu.

[ArmyOfZenMonkeys]

Jiu Jitsu, however he trained a lot with top wrestlers during his career

[Mannypacquia0]

i would have probably gave the fight to almeida byfar thou, amazing fight by both thou.

[ipv4]

well, he is from brazil, so I 'll let figure the rest out.

[kullander15]

Just thinking about how Renato Babalu is also from Brazil, but first started out as a wrestler.

[ipv4]

gotcha. Yea, I think Renato was one of the rare cases.

[ArmyOfZenMonkeys]

Cacareco also started as a wrestler and is very successful in ADCC. Paulo Filho for example has a judo background.

[Mannypacquia0]

yeah dude, dont know why hes kind of a wellrounded grappler in my opinion, with takedowns and submissions.

[mati90xl]

respect for both of fighters

[sanjosebjj]

Dude, I hope to see Arona fight again, ASAP

[neoc0n]

I heard he's supposed to be fighting Marvin Eastman in September.

[dezp]

Whats the name of this celldweller - switchback remix?
