Yeah you are absolutely crazy I’m not afraid to roll with anyone within my gym But I’ve heard stories about this guidance seen him an MMA just ripped people’s legs apart he’s a scary dude so I like watching him get beat ,good job
@@WilliamTackettBJJ nice job, William. Roussimar can be absolutely terrifying with those leg locks. Much credit to you for defending against his submission attempts.
@@WilliamTackettBJJ it's really refreshing to see a top-tier grappler who's also humble and who respects their opponents. Looking forward to following your continued success!
Crazy how fast the sport evolves. Just a few years ago Toquinho was tearing (pun intended) through ADCC until he ran into Galvao, who he gave a very competitive match. Now he's had his back taken as a result of the defensive issues surrounding his leg attack entries in most of his matches against modern BJJ players (Gordon, Tackett and Garry.)
Man. I’m totally impressed at your calm demeanor when facing this beast of a wrestler. He’s a mutant but you held him off pretty awesomely. Your defense even with rib injury was epic.
Your calmness it is the key of your fantastic game. It is always awesome to hear a legit humble fighter talking about his own fights against other amazing fighters, but let me say this: You didn't survive in there with the beast; it was the beast who survived against the new generation. Way to go brother!
William, I've been practicing BJJ since 1996, I spent my first 12 years with a man who's now a coral belt. I've had the fortune of being around many of the best names; and dude... You have an ability to not only do the art, but articulate it on a level that some of the most advanced people I've ever had the fortune to trained with are able to do. Good on you, congratulation to you, and man... Here's to hoping for your future success. It'll be very enjoyable to watch your progress. Sub'd.
You earned a sub man. Fighting a guy that’s notorious for not respecting the tap and destroying guys knees is serious courage. On top Of that you had torn rib cartilage fighting a guy way bigger than you that’s juiced to the gills. Big respect brother stay humble.
Man, incredible Jiu-jitsu and even more incredible bravery to face someone known for breaking legs with no regard for his opponents. Also, I have watched your matches before but never heard you talk really. With that being said, I think we can add William Tackett to the list of nicest BJJ practitioners along side Bernardo Faria, Marcelo Garcia, and Mikey Musemeci.
@@chriselms hey there, sorry that my comments were distasteful. I’ll work on that and improve for next time. I was more trying to help explain the injury since I had to pull out of the tournament after this match and had a bunch of people wondering why. My bad for making excuses though 🙏🏻 appreciate the feedback and will make some improvements 😃
@@WilliamTackettBJJ No need to apologize to me. It's your video and you can say whatever you want. The making improvements approach is superior than the culture of excuses. If you are serious about the improvement comment "opera non verba" and not just saying that then you won't mind being held accountable. I can send the rest in a private message, email or whatever you choose. I think that would be a more respectful way of going about it.
@@chriselms How is it an excuse sandwich? He won the match. Do you mean he's using it as an excuse for not subbing Paul Harris? Not many people have subbed RP, so why would he need to make excuses for not being able to do so?
@@WilliamTackettBJJ are you completely natural? I find it hard to believe that you tore cartilage in your ribs and were competing in a high level grappling match against a known ped user two weeks later. I ACTUALLY had that injury like 4 years ago and couldn't laugh for the first two weeks. Something tells me you're lying or youre on PEDS. Like I said, youre 19 and out grappling a drug cheat, I doubt youre natty.
@@kyloren6536 yes sir, I have never taken any form of PEDs and don’t plan on it 💪🏻 I actually was not better at all competing against palharis, the night before I could barely sleep cause of the pressure on my rib from laying down. I was supposed to not compete. But my replacement dropped out the day before so I was forced to either pull out and mess up the promotions card or try and do the best I could. In the first min of the match, I actually felt that cartilage tear more in one of our exchanges. This is also why I had to pull out of the match after and couldn’t continue in the bracket. And I had to take a bunch of time off training after this to allow it to heal.
Wow. You killed him in points and avoided some VERY dangerous heel hook attempts. You went into the lions den. Awesome job. Definitely checking for you in the future.
Palhares was probably the most terrifying because at one time he was one of the best leg lockers in the game, he’s jacked and nick named after a frickin tree trunk, and unless a ref saved you when he got a submission you were going to get crippled. I can’t imagine the psychological effect of knowing his rep before a match with this guy.
Wow, thats very brave and courageous of you. What a great example this is to everybody. And example of overcoming difficulties, blocking out pain, achieving your goals. Responsiblity! Just awesome stuff.
I think you just made a whole new set of fans. Including myself! I'm an older grappler but still get inspiration from the new generation. Stay safe brother.
How long did it take to defend all the complex variations and have confidence in doing it in real time at high level ? I know all basic defenses but this looks highly complex. Great Job , he is super powerful but you neutralized his strength and kept a step ahead. 💯
I always come back to watch your reviews like this (P.S) you should do more But I find I learn most from videos like this, not only do I learn from what you say... but simply watching you defend the foot attacks allowed me to implement Change because I can see it in action. Thank you!
So interesting to hear your thought process on the intricate leg defense details! How did Palhares compare strength wise to guys like Hulk and Victor Hugo?
He was definitely one of the strongest competitors I’ve faced! He seemed to have a ton of concentric strength (like a clam) Whereas Hulk had a ton of dynamic strength (like a bull) which in my experience, is tougher for me personally.
Glad you made a channel man, I don't know if you remember me, but my sensei interviewed you for the Feu BJJ channel on BJJ Bet. I wish nothing but success in your career!
Wow very well done. Your only 19 too, it’s very impressive you’ve got loads of potential buddy. That palhares is a beast and as you said a legend, so this was very impressive respect!
Excellent work Man!! Rolling against Phallares would be a daunting task for a variety of reasons. Did it ever concern you knowing his history of over-torking and holding submissions?
It never fails to amaze me how deceiving looks can be. You can be a big, badass, powerlifting dude. with great cardio, a warrior's heart, and who's never lost a street fight...walking around feeling invincible... and the average-looking kid next door can turn you into a pretzel and tear your limbs off.
Can’t say I’ve heard too much about you kid but wow impressive win, what composure and calmness you sustained during this match. Because of that and the way you speak I following and watching your videos. Your my kinda teacher. OSS
Great story telling! Grabbed me with title, surprised me with the alternate call up, hooked me with the rib injury. By the time you took his back I was rooting for ya. U got my sub!
Great work from a crazy specimen like him, I too is recovering from two rib injury and I totally feel your pain in biting those heel and any compression of any sort is just flat out uncomfortable and painful, KT tape has helped a bit with splinting it. Appreciate such a good match and for sharing it with us.
Oh no! Hope you get well sooon! I also found wearing an elastic back brace around my injury helped a lot. Also hot then cold therapy to encourage blood flow :)
Thank you William, yes I have been using incrediwear and have worked very well for me as well. I just can’t train with it as it’s slips off while I’m rolling around. Get well soon!
An inspiration. I remember seeing this bout randomly and I follow MMA but not pure grappling shows, just happened to see this one and this bout! I don't believe in coincidences. Subbed.
Do not knock yourself for anything. You did an incredible job. Your knowledge of leverage and counters is beyond professional and you made it look simple. Hope you healed up well and that the cartilage is a non factor now.
Dear William, I figure you couldn't finish Toquinho because your massive balls of steel kept getting in the way! 😂 I thought I was tough. You, young sir, are a LEGEND

Love the "get-to-the-point" commentary and gave me great insight as to how you did what you did.
Great video! Palhares is the dirtiest grappler that I know of, so I'm glad your skills are strong enough to defend the heel hooks.
Great content William, you’re getting as good at making videos as you are at jiujitsu! You’ll be a black belt video maker in no time
Incredible match and amazing breakdown. The back take off the leglock attempt is so powerful !
Palhares was probably the most terrifying because at one time he was one of the best leg lockers in the game, he’s jacked and nick named after a frickin tree trunk, and unless a ref saved you when he got a submission you were going to get crippled. I can’t imagine the psychological effect of knowing his rep before a match with this guy.
I believe Palhares was trying to achieve Mike Tyson levels of intimidation, to increase his odds of winning future fights.
Rousimar seems very respectful on the BJJ mat. It’s just when you get him in the cage that he seems to have problems.
The thing you havent realized now is, you are a legend young man !
Travelling to Brazil to grapple with him... you've got big balls. I wouldn't risk it personally, he's destroyed people's knees before.
Props to you for taking on that raided psychopath. Instant subbed
A bit harsh... plenty of psychos in the fight game lol
Love the ancient beasts lofi remix playing in the back! A man of excellent skill and impeccable taste you are.
Wow, thats very brave and courageous of you. What a great example this is to everybody. And example of overcoming difficulties, blocking out pain, achieving your goals. Responsiblity! Just awesome stuff.
