Butt-scooting should be banned in submission grappling. It gives BJJ players no incentive to learn how to take someone down.

Nice to see the wrestler in the appropriate division. I've seen some D1 and MMA guys cleaning out whitebelt divisions lately.

[Peter.Young]

Impressive how evenly matched they were despite the major size difference

[cheesymac]

That was insane how he managed to escape the almost rear naked choke hold

[kallepikku]

Title should say:

"190 pounds wrestler vs 240 pounds BJJ brown belt".

5:24-5:44 Wrestling clinic. 20 seconds of gold!

"Beautiful single leg."
White shirt: It would be a shame if people couldn't enjoy this.

Both of these guys are super impressive and this was so much fun to watch. THANK YOU!

[alex.pendleton]

I enjoy seeing comments of wrestlers and jiu jitsu practitioners giving props to one another. Both are needed to become a great grappler!

[Dpackie]

Wrestling takedowns and control can nullify a lot of BJJ. Size differential can really nullify a lot of wrestling. There's magic in the blending of both moment to moment.

[Mind-Two-Mind]

That recovery from the crank with full back control was insane

[almondfreeman]

Mad props to the wrestler on 2:46 U gotta have a lot of mental strength and patience to pull that off!!!

[RikthDcruze]

As a wrestler, I learnt a lot from BJJ guys. So respect.

[davidhelman]

There was a massive weight difference between the two and anyone who has any experience in wrestling or grappling knows how hard and exhausting it is when the other guy has 30-40lbs on you

[dapras]

Man he got heart fighting out of that backtake rear naked choke attempt..beautiful match very good both guys

[steveniedowicz]

You can tell the wrestler is a great attack wrestler. Set ups and takedowns were flawless.

[ws]

Awesome commentary and great match. I know grappling can be boring for your average person but matches like this with solid commentary are so fun.

[jackwellington]

that flip around he did at the end with his legs was crazy

[Bowamaketona]

As a wrestler absolute respect for the jiu-jitsu guy going takedowns with the d1 guy. That was a superb performance. Obv a blackbelt should beat a d1 wrestler with little to moderate experience in grappling. The way the jiu-jitsu guy baited him into getting out of position was art. There's so much that can be learned from this video and I'm sure the wrestler enjoyed the experience

[michaelmckay]

Give that wrestler much credit. If he learns some more jiu-jitsu he will be a beast
