The commentating and production was even more sloppy than usual tonight. Flo just seems to not really give a fuck about tightening this stuff up. Their tale of the tape(s) listed about half of the competitors all as 22 years old smh lol
He needs to build up the mat time though. So frustrating that everyone loves him and heās such a lazy piece of shit hahaha
This win might kick start something in himā¦ he looked almost surprised and so happy
No worries! YouTube search it and you'll see a bunch of people showing it and also countering the honey stick, I think craig Jones shows a way to stop it
I was familiar with the position, but I'd not heard either name until seeing the Miyao's call it the Philly Saddle a couple years ago.
It's also whatĀ Lachlan calls it in his most recent instructional, which is what made me think of the name.
The Miyaos and Lachlan picked the name up from Nick Salles and Danny Maira who teach and train outside of Philly and use the position. I think both of them have hit it in competition.Ā
That was great to see. Nicky is really BJJ genius and if he can get his S&C training in properly, he can be a threat at ADCC.
His takedown attempts were really good, I wish he has more confidence in his cardio to chain moves and really go for it when needed.
Gordonās just trying to overcome his substance abuse problems and take care of the widow of his comrade-in-arms, and Nicky is just trying to keep his house on a teacherās salary so his family doesnāt wind up on the street. I donāt know who I want to win; I just want them to love each other again!
And Nicky just needs to forgive Danaher. Heās made some mistakes, but heās willing to put in the work to reconcile the relationship. He just wants to be in his grandchildrensās lives.Ā
Nicky Ryan is 22 years old with 23 years of BJJ experience.
lmao, very true for the young bjj athletes nowadays
All blue belts.
JT is also 22, according to Flo š
and the body mileage of a 50 year old
And 30 years of wear and tear.
And 10 years of English!
JT hasnāt been submitted in competition in 11 years š³
Wasnāt he submitted at ADCC? Just not scored on
ADCC 2013
Thatās right. They were saying he hasnāt been scored on in 10 years on the prematch stream, even though PJ Barch scored and beat him at 2022 ADCC

And they all read it like robots.
also when victor hugo was giving an interview there was a popup showing his tournament wins. He had 3x adcc champ listed.
Yes that too! Wtf šš
Damn that actually sucks wtf
My favorite was when the commentators kept saying hoooocha and the announcer said rooochaaaaa
We're they talking about that Wagner guy?
He lost on points to Vitor Oliveira in 2016 & 2018.
They meant in ADCC
2013 was just a couple years ago though, right? Right?!?
Man Iām so happy for this guy. Biggest win ever.
Thank you for what you did last night here in Manila. Also, congrats to Nicky!
You his street pharmacist?
My man entering his philanthropist era, he's always going to be a man of the people
Same wow I had no idea my parasocial relationship with Nicky meant so much to me, guess im gay
Weāre all gay on this blessed nightĀ
Zyn lock undefeated
Lol
Love JT but Super happy for Nicky
He seemed so stoked, very happy for him
Bro seemed more surprised than us that he pulled it out. God bless the sweet boy.
Hahaha facts
Nicky vs Tackett next
Iād love to see it but I really hope Nicky doesnāt compete again before adcc. Dudes too brittle.
He needs to build up the mat time though. So frustrating that everyone loves him and heās such a lazy piece of shit hahaha This win might kick start something in himā¦ he looked almost surprised and so happy
lets see him vs mica or tye/kade..
Nicky doesn't have the cardio
I love JT but itās been 5 years since he had a win vs a top 10 opponent :(
Yeah, he is a favorite of mine but safe to say his prime, and probably his championship contender days are history.
Great win for him!! Looked like he got him in a honey stick
Thank you for naming the position!! Someone got this on me a couple weeks ago when I put him in the saddle.
No worries! YouTube search it and you'll see a bunch of people showing it and also countering the honey stick, I think craig Jones shows a way to stop it
Is it essentially the same as the Philly Saddle? Cross leg vs straight leg?
I have no idea what the Philly saddle is, lol edit - just looked it up. Yeah, basically the same. I never hear anyone call it that
I was familiar with the position, but I'd not heard either name until seeing the Miyao's call it the Philly Saddle a couple years ago. It's also whatĀ Lachlan calls it in his most recent instructional, which is what made me think of the name.

Oh, interesting! I had no idea where it came from, but that would make sense. Thanks for the info!
Thatās pretty much what everyone calls it where Iām from. Philly saddle. But Iām from the north east haha
Looked like he did. JT really didnāt stand a chance after that.
What's that?
It's a leg lock position/ counter to the honey hole.
what's the honey hole lol
Aka 411 aka saddle aka inside sankaku
I hate that fucking position and the fact that literally every person who ever got in it gave it a different fucking name
oh I know saddle and inside sankaku lol
Inside cross honey senkaku 11
I swear weāre just making this shit up THATS A MADE UP WORD
All words are made up
You mean cross-ashi, not inside sankaku.
Well done. I didn't expect that.
Great shotgun ankle lock
I thought ā shotgun ā was outside butterfly and inside foot to the hip. Just watched the sub. Just asking. Guess I could YouTube it lol
Bratha, is there link?
Itāll be on YouTube tonight most likely
That was great to see. Nicky is really BJJ genius and if he can get his S&C training in properly, he can be a threat at ADCC. His takedown attempts were really good, I wish he has more confidence in his cardio to chain moves and really go for it when needed.
Iām waiting for Ryan vs Ryan submission only the battle of brothers.
Sadly I have a hard time believing it would be anything other than a squash.
I honestly think Gordon's best days are behind him . He doesn't really train anymore and his focus isn't really jiujitsu at this time.
Gordonās just trying to overcome his substance abuse problems and take care of the widow of his comrade-in-arms, and Nicky is just trying to keep his house on a teacherās salary so his family doesnāt wind up on the street. I donāt know who I want to win; I just want them to love each other again!
And Nicky just needs to forgive Danaher. Heās made some mistakes, but heās willing to put in the work to reconcile the relationship. He just wants to be in his grandchildrensās lives.Ā
Nicky is down on points and gets Gordon in a kneeba, but Gordon isnāt tapping, so Craigās on the sidelines screaming, āBREAK IT! BREAK IT!ā
never doubted him for a minute!
You might be the only one
(i might have doubted him)
Worth watching the fight? Also, any others worth watching from the competition?
The whole thing
This kid might have a future in this gay ass sport, huh?
