Andrew Tackett vs ruotolo was one of the best matches I’ve ever seen

[BobbyHall-euxv]

"...and the worst thing about Jiu Jitsu, is watching the Jiu Jitsu." 🤣

[prepsforlifeZ]

Cji was so much better the above 88 kilo wasn't the cream of the crop think they could of gotten better competition but the under 88 kilo division were all studs

[thomasthellamas]

3 minutes in and I have no idea what Uncle Chael is talking about

[heyokah]

Once you publish your book with Spines you will also be given a 1 sq. foot plot of land in Scotland and you can put Lord or Lady on your business cards.

CJI just cooked ADCC in its first ever event

Never seen Chael glaze someone like this

[jefftalkssports]

Kade vs Tackett needs to be talked about chael. Best BJJ match ive ever seen

[dcardoso]

Didn't watch it. Couldn't justify the price. BUT CJI on YouTube was excellent. Andrew Tackett is the real conversation.

[matlenaghan]

CJI just had multiple matches that everyone is debating whether they are literally the greatest ju jitsu matches in the history of earth.

Chael chooses to talk about gordan ryan versing nobodies.

[panosts]

Knowing a few people in team New Wave I'll tell you that his health was the worst of any adcc. His knees were badly damaged and his stomach was also in terrible condition. Just showing up and barely winning was all he could apparently do at that time.

[williamrobbins]

Nicky Rod RNC'd 4 guys in 2 nights. Then, he challenged the "king" mil for mil winner takes all. Seems like the better story here.

[Wellspring]

You know what’s funny? I had never even heard of ADCC (or whatever tf it’s called) before I heard about it through CJI interviews 😂

You know what’s even funnier? I watched CJI both Friday and Saturday instead of buying the UFC pay-per-view and I’m not even a fan of jiu jitsu. It was just more interesting and different to me than the UFC card was and I was pleasantly surprised.

CJI cost me nothing to watch and I still gave about $30 to charity over the course of the 2 days.

I had fun watching, felt good about donating to it without breaking the bank, and watched the ufc highlights for free on YouTube after 👍

CJI did exactly what it was meant to do. Steal MMA fans viewership to get them interested in jiu jitsu and it worked on me!

[Samadams]

Nicky Rod had the EASIEST bracket known to man

[JohnnyDdub]

Gordon won 21-0 in a rule set where points are scored in only half the match... Regardless if someone "likes" Gordon...he is the very best in the sport factually. He has beat or would beat every player in the CJI statistically. Nicky won CJI...and lost multiple times to Gordon, not to mention Nicky R was Gordons student (Nicky stated this previously). CJI was a fun event, with big prizes and statistically second rate competition. Where the very best compete is where the best is...ADCC still has the best. Money doesn't prove legacy. This is said using logic without emotion.

[TPM]

One day, when it’s all said and done, many will quietly and some will publicly give Gordon Ryan his due as both the greatest and most dominant. It takes a lot of denial and a lack of genuineness to make a case for any other BJJ athlete over Gordon.

[Gravity_results_from_SpaceTime]

I hear you Uncle Chael. What is Gordon's overall outlook on things? He's obviously built a uniquely incredible legacy thus far within the SPORT. You're talking about global recognition?

Anyway, I've got a few techniques I really want to run by you at the BBQ. How's your back Unc?

[erelfink]

You can win a jiujitsu match after being scored on, I don't think that having a mercy rule is beneficial for the sport and I think it kinda of goes against the spirit of jiujitsu

[johnbwill]

21 to zero is a result of Gordon 'gaming' the rule-set. Mount - put your foot back into 1/4 guard - pull it out = 4 more points. Do that 4 times ... 16 points. He 'gamed' it. It's very simple.

[chrisdudedurian]

Gordon passing Yuri's guard like a knife through hot butter and smiling giving his leg to Yuri just to pass again then taking his back after. If thats not dominant then i dont know what is. Chael has no idea what hes talking about 💀

[tanthevanman]

Chael would be the only one to come off the weekend talking about Gordon Ryan and ADCC after the promotion of the sport was just flipped on it’s head.

Chael talks non stop about how it’s not the best guys who get to the top but the ones who promote themselves and Craig just put on a masterclass.
