ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2022
- Jiu-Jitsu phenom Nicky Ryan continues his ascent towards grappling stardom as he faces MMA pioneer “The California Kid” Uriah Faber for the Polaris featherweight title. Can Ryan’s technical gifts overcome Faber’s lifetime of experience in the combat sports world?
Riding a four fight win streak with all wins via KO/TKO, Cesar Gracie BJJ blackbelt & boxing technician Nick Diaz was at the top of his game heading into a clash with one-punch knockout artist Scott Smith, who owned 13 of his 16 wins via KO/TKO.

These commentators sound like they got a school girl crush on Nicky lol
Daddy Nicky Ryan
You sound like a flat earther
50 year old retired skateboarder!!! we meet again!!!😃
And now my guy Conor looks like a 50 year old failed IBBF pro. 😂😂😂
Urijah looks like that dude that sells weed to high schoolers at the skate park but overcharges tf outta them
@@MileyCyrusSwollenGums looking pretty good for a failure

Most bjj schools are complete women.
It’s like they take the physicality out of grappling and they’re used to playing and not getting mauled.
@@oldironsides4107 They hated Jesus because he spoke the truth
@@AveryBlueRemix the more I watch people complain about the aggression in a combat sport shows that khabib is right. If sambo was easy it would be called jiu jitsu
😆👋
@@MKSKIllerthe thing about sambo is it translates better to striking, in a true grappling only situation bjj is superior
Damn Uriah is showing more aggro here than in the Octagon lol
Yeah…and against a kid who was only 17 at the time. I lost respect for Faber after watching this.
@@jamesmelton4412 Dude, you're talking about an mma guy with a strong wrestling base vs a guy who trains nothing but jiu jitsu. What did you think was going to happen? Add some fist, knees, and elbows to the equation...... chill.
@@jamesmelton4412 lol cry more.
@@jamesmelton4412 no one gives a shit how old he is. Or about your "respect" lol
@@alfaq654 you're affected by someones opposing opinion and say HE'S crying lol grow a pair, people won't always agree with you
That inside Heel Hook entry at the end was insane!
Hey what are you doing here?, luv your channel btw \w/
I Had to replay it at 0.5x to actually See how He did that.
Amazing
@@soundtorial4567 .25x here ... too much time in the gi.
Oh was it?? Did it do some damage?????
i watched it like 5 times before i could conceive what the fuck he did
Uriah Faber totally reverting back to base wrestler instincts. Can openers, leg weaves, pushing...
Good opinion. It’s always just under their skin when they get rattled.
He has never had high level bjj especially not high level sport bjj
..., being an a-hole...
@@fighterx4133 that is why the fact that Nicky could not sub him is weird.
@@hagestad he played a 100% defensive game, is hard to submit someone who doesn't even attempt to pass the guard
When you've wrestled for a decade before you started jujitsu certain habits are just engrained. Some good and some bad.
So which ones were bad, and which ones were good
@@kobiecamp1134 the ones where he’s unsweepable,dominate on the feet, all Great to me. Scootin around ain’t it for me.
@@matthewwuntke did you not notice how much scootin around dominated?
@@wrybread Lol this qualifies as "domination" in bjj?
@@saynotoyoutube Remember this isn't a fight, it's a grappling match with very specific rules and criteria. Under those criteria, yup this was domination.
Can barely tell who the announcers favor 😂😂
I just can't forget what Jose Aldo did to Fabers leg.
That's his Achilles heel. If he attacked me I'd shoot his legs
Me too, I remember Faber's interview after on crutches. Fucking brutal
@@coreymacgregor176 this is exactly what I was thinking about!
Brutal
I was there. A huge amount of the Sacramento crowd left before the fight was stopped. It was terrible watching him fall to his butt and Aldo just chop away.
How did Faber not tap to the leg locks? Crazy! What a heart!
Honestly, I wouldn't call it heart. At that point it's plain stupidity. I'm quite sure he damaged his knee :(
@@dannyinformal
He seemed perfectly fine though.
he really didn't.@@bengsynthmusic
Faber was 109 percent fine, his leg is strong. Nicky would get wrecked if Faber let loose
I legit thought this was a combat jiu jitsu match for a sec
I still hate da butt scootin 😂🤷🏼♂️
Absolutely insane entry and lock at end.
Faber-Rage. That's exactly what this sport needs. Bit of action!
That blatant slap at the beginning
Faber’s only goal here was not to get submitted. He was never looking for a win. Just used his power to stay alive.
That's exactly my impression after watching the whole match a few times. He took little risk and even despite his defensive aggression, his offense was well what it was.
So pretty easy to beat top bjj guys in their own sport?
Imagine how bad modern day bjj guys would do in actual combat.
Cyborg couldn’t do anything to schaub and just scooted on his ass and that’s in his own sport.
Embarrassing for these guys.
So why tout the JJ guy so high if he couldnt sub him or win on points?? Your argument is dumb. The wrestler beat him by neutralizing him and he won, but your mad bc he didnt take more risks.
I don't think you know Faber that well then. Dude is a dog and a finisher. In a fight he once broke both his hands and was still trying to take the other dudes head off for 20 min with just elbows lol.
He was trying to win, but he's not a sophisticated BJJ guy who's a great inside the guard, Nicky smartly just stayed in his guard the whole match where Faber is weakest. When it comes to BJJ he's good at rear naked chokes and a master at the guillotine, but not much else.
His best chance of winning was to rattle the young dude and big brother him a little bit and try and force an opening for the guillotine. It didn't work, but think it was probably his best chance.
I’m gonna submit you
This is why BJJ is struggling in MMA .. these positions dont translate well in real combat.. they've moved so far away from being an actual fight style its really unfortunate
If only there was a young Sakuraba around.
Awesome moves
This was almost exciting as Schaub ‘shutting down’ Cyborg at Metamoris
Still exciting.
@@islandworkout Guard pull makes it 100% less exciting.
Hahahahaha
@@johnnycaralta yes inviting action makes it less exciting when the person refuses to be active
@@zz-ps5vw I don't understand what you're trying to say.
I know he has but it's hard to remember when Uriah won a match.
Bring on the Hillbilly Hammer. Jacob Couch
Damn, my dude can't win a belt anywhere lol
As an old school jj guy, it's weird to see somebody sitting on the floor at the first second of the fight.
No it’s not. It’s also not a fight, it’s a Submission Grappling match.
@@milkweedreflections thanks, but I think my message was clear.
@@alexcampack Your message was also misguided and objectively wrong. You have fundamental misunderstanding of what is happening.
@@alexcampack This is a sport, not a fight.
The sport in question being Submission Grappling. It's not a wrestling match, it's not a fist fight, it's not a kickboxing match, it's a submission grappling match.
It's very simple to understand.
@@milkweedreflections Well, I see that unfortunately your ego wants to appear here, creating problems where there are none.
Once again, my message was simple and clear. If you want to create a situation to appear, that's not my problem.
I suggest you resolve this.
If I used the term "fight" and not "combat, match, etc" everyone understood.
I'd love to sit here answering ""highly intelligent"" comments like yours, but you don't deserve it.
😉
The but scooting is so bad for bjj as a martial art.
Faber named his kid Cali? Of course he did. 🤣
Sapp vs kimo please upload
Damn, Luke Skywalker can wrestle!
I love this
Title should be “ commentators meat ride guy who butt dragged for 15 minutes “
Very good technique moves
Wow Faber put on tha lbs! 😮
Faber might as well do slap Jiu Jitsu.
The seated slide was like watching paint dry
Much respect to Ryan….and he’s only 17! That said, I think voluntary sit downs should be penalized heavily. Competitive fighters should compete for top position and not do so only from sitting. Consider what Danaher explained to Rogan about why the various BJJ positions are scored the way they are in competition. It all goes back to how grappling transfers over into real fighting.
Also, without strikes sitting has clear advantages - from both a technique /leverage standpoint, especially given the evolution of the leg lock game as well as from the standpoint of energy conservation.
This is a few years ago. He's in his 20s now
@@dezmorganfilms395 OK, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. I feel like I've been hearing his name for too long for him to be 17 now but I went with it.
try to punch or kick when I'm seated. whatever comes at me ain't coming back. I'm 6 6 so I have a huge range but even nickys short butt will do the same.
@@slimpickin7999 😂
@@slimpickin7999 I don’t understand that thought process. Every MMA match ever shows that being seated is not a dominant position. It results in taking shots to the dome.
watching them continuously lose grips is what makes me hate no gi LMAO
When was this filmed??
Urijah Faber is 43 years old add ground and pound and Faber by 20 second tko💥💥
Wow…great comment
Too bad chess ain't checkers huh?
when this fight happened nicky was like 16
Before GSP was Uriah Faber. The California Kid is someone who forever inspires me. Legend
Before gsp?! GSP And Uriah Faber career pretty much lined up they both started in the early 2000s GSP was in the UFC by 2004-ish. Uriah didn’t hit the WEC till after that he Turned pro after GSP so if anything GSP was before Uriah
Unless you wanna count Urias gladiator or king of the cage days? GSP was still started before that though so I don’t know man sounds kind of casual
Uriah is Legendary. All I meant to say Josiff was, and no dis vs GSP because He's my #1. I grew up 8 minutes from st isadore in Chateauguay, Quebec. My personal friends Francois and Jacques Jette's father was gsp's 1st mentor Rolland Jette who taught him karate as a child. Jacques was one of MMA 's first world champions before it was legalized. Yet I knew The California kid before GSP. Just saying man.Peace .
*GSP #1
Um, not on this day
Nicky Ryan has a great control of his temper! Urijah Faber was no competition.
Does he only know butterfly
You mean Nicky Ryan who lives , breathes , studies and competes BJJ 24/7 ? Did he submit the MMA guy twice his age at 43 ? If there was striking involved, what do you think Urijah would have done to Ryan ?
@@nysurdatu5012 what if what if... Guess what its not MMA it BJJ.
@@sumtincrazy1 again did the 24/7 bjj guy submit the 43 year old mma guy?
@@sumtincrazy1 I know I must have struck a nerve with you because your teacher tells you all you need is BJJ but, Ryan who lives and breathes BJJ couldn’t submit a 43 year old mma athlete , imagine if Faber was slamming fists into his face . Learn from this
What year was this filmed?
Referee out here looking like Fedor 🤣
Instead of a podium, this should be a pit, where the edges don't go down, but up. Like a cage, just sunk in.
So like Karate Combat style?
Great idea. Or better yet, a moat with alligators
yeah like a meteor crater
Unless the walls are see-through, that wouldn't work very well for the camera angles. Also, even if they were see-through, if they get wet the view would suck.
Having a barrier gives way too much advantage to wrestlers. This is one of the issues often pointed out with the UFC cage.
Faber is a thick boy!
Faber just ran and didn’t engage/disengaged the entire match
That's cause he knows he would have gotten submitted and his fragile ego wouldn't be able to handle that.
YES, ran from the guy scooting on his ass....
@@iobject1421 these guys always talk smack on butt scooters but run scared from us when its go time.
Faber has wrestled and fought top tier MMA for decades and he’s scared of submission grappling?
@@jims512 looks like it…
Nicky used to be so good before bulked up and played only top game
Urija looks like the guy from Red hot chili peppers
what year is this?
A very heated bout!
I choose not to touch feet when I train Bjj. I dont give a F if it’s part of curriculum
Faber was at a folkstyle and freestyle wrestling tourny lately and did great. I think cub swanson and clay guida and a few ppl were too they all looked awesome. He should stick to that in his off time lol the sub grappling doesnt seem his vibe
Cub wrestled? How did he do?
@@juntjoonunya9216 i believe he won two or 3 on points and lost the last on a decision
@@shad3128 that's pretty good for NOT wrestler but all mma fighters have decent skills at least in all areas. I presume this wasn't a big competition
@@shad3128 that's pretty good for NOT wrestler but all mma fighters have decent skills at least in all areas. I presume this wasn't a big competition
@@juntjoonunya9216 nah it was pretty big. It was ran by USA wrestling. They had good talent. Most mma fighters pickup some good wrestling but in most legit folk or freestyle tourneys they will get beat on pretty bad esp if any d1 wrestlers are there. I was surprised how good clay guida did lol
Uriah wasn't there to play jiu jitsu and he let lil Nicky know it when Nicky was diaper scooting at him! 😂
After years of training, Uriah has developed the most deadly and technical forehead tap, shoulder pushes, and crackhead energy. So much hard work and dedication to the most effective grappling techniques. It's why he's so good
A lot of jiu jitsu dorks complaining about Uriah not attempting submissions. Jiu jitsu is supposed to be a Martial art. He maintained top position that entire match. If it had been an actual fight he would've beat the shit out of Nicky Ryan.
@@scottshipley5204 not based off of technique though , his core is just bigger and he has more power
He should make a ten set DVD series on all these techniques
@@scottshipley5204 "not attempting submissions" is hardly the worst thing about this match. He didn't even really attempt control. He's a wrestler, he should be able to at least attempt to control Nicky. He had no offense and seemingly no game plan other than to "frustrate" Nicky. We did get to witness the most technical forehead taps, expert level crackhead energy, and deadly shoulder taps we've ever seen though... and of course the wrestling apologist "bUt He wOUld HaVE won a rEaL fIGhT". Uriah is bigger, stronger, and more experienced than Nicky and still couldn't do shit to him... and you're going to defend that performance? OK, bud 👍
@@k1ng_k3nny81Im not saying he had a great performance. I think that Uriah probably did the best he could've with the skill set he has. He did try to pass his guard. He wasn't able to. There wasn't any point in that match he had an opportunity to attempt a submission. But in an actual fight (jiu jitsu matches are supposed to simulate a fight) Uriah would have done better because he was in top position the whole time and avoided all submission attempts from Nicky.
"He had to roll that way to defend"
Pretty sure rolling against a heelhook is the best way to shred your knee. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought you had to roll with it.
It looks like me trying a special move in mortal combat. Only one move
Will Urijah ever actually attempt a submission? No.
13:31
I respect Uriah doing the Yeomen’s work of trying to pass and get into a dominant position first. Ryan’s guard retention was excellent for sure. No disrespect to him, but as a guy who has been doing much more realistic fighting (along with wrestling) for decades now, Fabre understands the value to top position. Uriah could’ve attempted 50 subs if he dedicated his whole fighting career to training sit down/open guard BJJ which means you can go directly to sub entries without having to nail a takedown and pass first.
@@jims512 exactly
Same position and slapping, pass
It’s sitting down and butt scooting for me haha
it's gone from jujitsu to heel hookjutsu. focus on the leg attacks only and stay seated till it presents itself
What else could he do vs a wrestler with no passing skills
Yeah it's lame to watch to be honest 😒
@@juntjoonunya9216 develop his own wrestling skills
@@brett3201 apparently he has since then.see him?
It's really not even jiu-jitsu anymore. They should just adopt no-gi grappling as the official sport name and stop tainting the legacy of BJJ with this unwatchable bullshit
Thought it was combat BJJ I had the sound off lol
It's so crazy guys isn't it
Someone has told Faber that to start a scooter you've got to push it...
I was 16 years old when a friend of mine said to me that in bjj leglocks are a coward and noob move.
I have never trained jj, but I got agree with statment
(By the way he won a world jj competition in 1994 and most of you had no idea what bjj or jj was).
Let me guess, was he Brazilian? American Jiujitsu attacks 100% of the body and doesn't ignore the legs
The heel hook is the nut shot of Jiu jitsu.
Is this an old match ?
Imagine that you chin twerks every time ya say something?
10:48 hahaha Faber was just a pest the entire time
A pest that mauled nicky
Faber wins by the ancient slap happy technique.
urijah looking like them new white belts in bjj class lol
Uriah should have tried passing the guard on his feet
What weight was this at
Horrible commentary Nikki got dominated
What are you talking about
Imagine going to you're back like a bitch in heat telling another man to come on 😂 pathetic fighting style this nikki guy has 💀🤣
@@vladyslavkhomenko6081 what is you're mom talking about ?
uriahs did a Brendan schwab
What the hell is this 😂 after 5 minutes of pushing I'm back to surfing the internet 😂
Current state of jiu jitsu is low level
Faber pulling a Shaub.
also , I always believe in the tap out or submission knockout. fighting just for points without an actual victory makes this like semi contact karate tournaments
I’m confused. Is this match supposed to be favor against three people on the mat and two people with a microphone? Because it sure seems that way.
Nicky couldn’t submit a 50 year old retired skateboarder? Guess he’s not as good as everyone says.
This little kids bares a slight resemblance to a monster on bteam with the same name
wanna see again w no leglocks
BOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIING !
how to evade combat, without being noticed.
What sport is this?
Just Fabers personality on display.
That’s extreme tactful but agree. Sport requires ‘sportsmanship’ - Ive never seen Faber demonstrate it.
Reminds me of merab/Aldo. Bet the guy who was on his butt the while time wins
Imagine a MMA fighter going to decision in a boxing match against one of the best in the game. BJJ has some serious holes. It just isn't an imposing art.
This is one of the most embarrassing performances by a UFC legend of all time.
Urijah would’ve totally won this match if it was a professional patty cake competition.
is nicky ryan still 16 years old ?
Most of the fight was on the bottom. And won the fight.... Yep.... well....
Two sub attempts vs not passing guard once.......
Cant imagine trying to pull guard in a street fight..
Great Match and RIP Nick Brooks! You are missed!
Faber looked like a frustrated white belt hitting Nicky in the face and being over aggressive.
Maybe if nicky tried something besides sitting on his ass and looking for a knee the entire time he wouldn't be frustrated lol. I know it's submission grappling but damn is it ever lame lol
A white belt who could destroy you in a fight!😂
Always been a Uriah Faber fan. But what the hell is this supposed to be? Boring? Yes it is!
Did Urijah ever get his blue belt?
Best and truest comment here... If this was an actual fight Uriah would beat the $#!t out of Nicky Ryan. Fight would have been stopped in under 5min.
All you guys who say "If this was a real fight" are goofs. If punches and kicks were allowed in wrestling, baseball, or basketball, the outcomes would be different. There are no double leg takedowns in kickboxing. This was a submission wrestling, no gi jiu jitsu type of match. If this were even a UFC fight and Faber did what he did, he'd have been DQ'd for fingers in the face. Please educate yourself or at least think harder.
@@Spiritof_76 your comment basically makes no sense. Grappling is a large part of fighting. You could apply the same type of comment to a boxing or kickboxing match. If this were a real fight... The absence of either striking or grappling remove the element of real fight or at least mma fight. Basketball and baseball need not apply - think that just came from you thinking too hard. 🤔 😅
@@rsps12 Sorry, Robbie. I've been training in bjj and mma for over 2 decades. Grappling arts and striking arts have different rules in competition. I was a little harsh, and I know you want to get your digs in, but these comments are so common they've become tiresome. You can do better. We all know this wasn't mma and what would have happened if it was.
This looks frustrating as hell, especially if your used to hammer fisting your opponents
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Scooting on your butt is everything wrong with the modern game
