Pedro Sauer vs. Mr. Utah Fight

Mr. Utah was a wrestler working as a bouncer and claimed to have been undefeated in over 100 street fights. He claimed his wrestling and strength would be too much for a Gracie guy to submit him on the ground. He came to the fight completely greased in Vaseline. Pedro Sauer gave up a 100 lbs advantage and had no groin protection.

What exactly happened, couldn't make out almost anything. Did he win by submission or did they guy just give up because fo the bloody nose?

[magikman2000]

@RedHerod He submitted him with an armbar.

[magikman2000]

@magikman2000 Also, I believe his nose was broken.

Please remember that this fight happened before we all had the luxury of watching UFC 1 and learning that BJJ is where it's at. This video happened before the days where people would have NHB fights in America. Pedro Sauer talks of the days where they used to defend Helio's Jiu-Jitsu and guys used to show up to their gym looking to fight, and they would lock the doors and "see if the thing works."

@realpsycho4 Helio Gracie always said that a martial art should be judged by it's weakest students, not its finest athletes. Just because you can find instances in which a supreme athletic college wrestler beat a jiu-jitsu guy, doesn't mean that it is the norm or that wrestling is better. The fact of the matter is, a GJJ blue belt will more times than not submit a HS state champion wrestler not trained in the art of submission grappling.

@realpsycho4 Pedro barely got hit in the face.... when he did, his head was off the ground (meaning room to absorb the blow) and he was also delivering strikes from his back. There are a lot of arm bars other than the traditional one leg over the face one leg over the body.... This happens to be one of them. It was very clear from the position that he was in a very tight armbar, and had it been called due to the strike, you would have seen some form of protest...

Mr. Utah even had the gi to hold on to!

hey isn't this clip edited?

if i remember correctly pedro get pounded for the whole fight untile he catches lance in an armbar his second time. it's been years since i saw this fight, i could be wrong.

props to Pedro but please upload the full clip.

i also heard that Lance is very humble and his not as heavy.

i'm not taking anything away from Pedro at all. I'm happy that he defended his art.

@lordaten You're a joker, mate. He got armbarred. He was done.

Wow, this was back when pedro was a 2nd degree black belt.
