cji is more prestigious better across the board and this is not even debatable. good people finally won, adcc is run by weasels and people dont know how to do it their stream service s simply terrible and thats just one example. they give away gold medals now gordon got two super fights and collected two golds i was like are you fk serious? lololol ADCC has turned into a buddy-buddy business, LOL. It's all about rewarding each other. So many fights were rigged; it was obvious they favored certain fighters and teams.
CJI is the new premier event of this sport. It’s like the superbowl of JiuJitsu. I had a buddy that doesn’t do BJJ watch one match and he ended up watching the entire event. He even went back and watched the matches he missed.

My brother who doesn’t even care for or watch BBJ was actually peeping over and watching this with me when I was watching this. This is what the sport needs. I think this tournament is really a huge step for the sport of jiujitsu. Thank you Craig 🙏🏼
Hell, I had a bunch of training partners over to watch it, and our WIVES were into it. This event had more mainstream appeal than any grappling event ever. Period.

So happy this wasn’t on Flo, meaning Millions of people actually get to watch it live or on same day, instead of 50,000. The Flo pay wall has held BJJ back for too long
@@MrHamncheezsomething I really question. While I like CJI as a competitor to ADCC, it isn’t proven yet and like you said it’s totally reliant upon a wealthy backer
@@MrHamncheezgetting 3.1 million views so far, just on the live stream, plus all the additional clip views, insta clips, podcasts etc etc… means advertisers will jump all over this next year. There’s never been this much reach. OR … ADCC changes their model, puts it on TH-cam, strips back the overspend on venue and pyrotechnics and pays athletes well. I would guess CJI comes back next year with big sponsorship money though and the heavyweight division is stacked. It’s not an ADCC year so you can imagine the lineups will be crazy and I would also expect 3 or even 4 male divisions next year!!!
@@MrHamncheez I’m not talking about getting paid for the views from TH-cam, the event sponsors pay based on viewership too. This is the biggest ever watched live event in BJJ history by a long way, it will get multiple millions in sponsorship alone next year plus ticket sales. I would guess they will easily do 20,000 tickets next year, so probably $3million in ticket sales alone. Remember they didn’t have long to market this and people had already bought adcc tickets.
A person could not know the very first thing about BJJ and still be fascinated by this match. Absolutely incredible. Thank you to these absolute beasts and to Craig Jonesie for doing everything he’s done for the sport.

This was 100% the best grappling match I have ever seen.

Hats off to both of them and congrats to Tackett for taking home an extra $20k for deservedly being awarded most exciting fighter.
Such an exciting time for this sport. I'm glad this format attracts a lot of interest amongst people who don't practice BJJ. CJI is a prime example of right thing at the right time. Much needed and much appreciated!
No BJJ event in history has been so meaningful, so emotional, so entertaining and electric. Watching all these boys go this hard, knowing that a million dollars would change their and their families lives... seeing the laser focus, seeing the look in the eyes of some of them, like Nicky Rod and Tye... my god man, I was literally tearing up with emotion multiple times while watching this event man.

They were fun but wow these guys are going to have a huge revelry. They should have a pay-per-view Rodriguez versus Gordon Ryan. Rotolo Brothers versus Tackett Brothers.
When I doze off into dreamland, this is how my jiu jitsu looks. I wake up full of confidence and head to the gym where everyone takes turns turning me into a pretzel. God, I love Jiu Jitsu!!

This match was absolutely insane, watching it live was the first real edge of my seat experience of my BJJ watching journey. Tacket winning the most exciting grappler was bang on!!!
@@rendarecorrentecomopcoes2336 Agreed - If it was based on raw energy Tacket wins but Kade has more wrinkles to his game, it was similar to a great slick boxer fighting a good boxer puncher.
@@chrisnoble4606 It was like watching what happens when an unstoppable force meets... an unstoppable force. No BS unmovable object in this match. Simply two freight trains going head on onto each other. In the end Kade was just a tad more stubborn in not accepting to lose, and never taking his foot off the gas pedal.
This is the best and most exciting jiu jitsu match I've seen in my life! Big Ossss to Kade & Andrew, but also to CJI! The ruleset, scoring and mats play a big part as well. Love it!
Glad you guys uploaded this! Saw a few edits pop up and didn’t like the idea of others profiting off of your hard work. The event was epic, thanks for making it available to watch live online 👊🏻
Honestly i been doing bjj for 5years plus. I barely watch a bjj fight. Is so boring. But this comp. I watched all the matches. Is so fun. They dont have to recentre all the time. Thanks Grag and the Bteam for the fun tournament.
During UFC 305 live, I had the CJI live set up on the laptop under the biggest/clearest tv at The Grand Sports Lounge. Everyone appreciated it and were going crazy during this epic match! Thank you Craig for making history amd setting the standard to a higher level 🤝
I’ve been training for about 9 years and I never really watched any matches, but now I’m sold. The production, commentary, level of talent, and the fact that is free is just unbelievable. I can’t wait for the next one.
Imagine it be a race of aliens that’s entire culture is centered around submission grappling…upon receiving the transmission they see it as an open challenge…Earth’s best against their best🤣
This is the first match i've ever saved to watch with my kids (who also train). Simply can't say that about BJJ matches normally. Watched first 30 secs and paused it to watch with them later.
That match was the watershed moment for Grappling/Jiu Jitsu. Jiu Jitsu will forever be talked about before Kade vs. Tackett and after Kade vs. Tackett. The game has been officially changed.
And people still say Levi deserved to win 😂😂😂😂 it takes TWO to tango and Tackett and Kade were absolutely perfect dance partners. You can’t just lay back and wait for someone to come to you, you have to engage otherwise what’s even the point of competition. This is the most exciting BJJ match you could show someone
If the match starts on the feet and you sit down, especially with no grip then that to me is disengaging. Especially if you’re getting paid to be on that stage.
I'm not a big BJJ fan but I watch some big matches from time to time, usually not much fun. I started having more fun watching grappling on OneFC but here we are on a different level, I watched 24 hours of streaming without ever getting bored. Thanks CJ

This is the match you show people when you want to show them why BJJ is awesome. All the hats off to both guys, they left it all out on the mats and gotta thank CJI for putting on this amazing event.

loved the event, showing my support.
This match was absolutely insane, watching it live was the first real edge of my seat experience of my BJJ watching journey. Tacket winning the most exciting grappler was bang on!!!
Tackett won this match I don’t get how Kade got it
Kade was the only one close to submissions, and finished really strong in the 3rd, which was the most contested round. He won. Tacket is a beast.
@@rendarecorrentecomopcoes2336 Agreed - If it was based on raw energy Tacket wins but Kade has more wrinkles to his game, it was similar to a great slick boxer fighting a good boxer puncher.
@@chrisnoble4606 It was like watching what happens when an unstoppable force meets... an unstoppable force. No BS unmovable object in this match. Simply two freight trains going head on onto each other. In the end Kade was just a tad more stubborn in not accepting to lose, and never taking his foot off the gas pedal.
Danke!
This is the best and most exciting jiu jitsu match I've seen in my life! Big Ossss to Kade & Andrew, but also to CJI! The ruleset, scoring and mats play a big part as well. Love it!
I know very little about Bjj yet still found this very fun
You should join up 🤙🏿
The sunken floor/alley was genius. Every BJJ tourney should have this, preventing dudes from running/scrambling out of bounds/constant restarts.
Glad you guys uploaded this! Saw a few edits pop up and didn’t like the idea of others profiting off of your hard work. The event was epic, thanks for making it available to watch live online 👊🏻
Thank you Craig Jonesy
24 minutes all of highlights?
That's what the crowd needs🔥
Honestly i been doing bjj for 5years plus. I barely watch a bjj fight. Is so boring. But this comp. I watched all the matches. Is so fun. They dont have to recentre all the time. Thanks Grag and the Bteam for the fun tournament.
The crowd cheering ONE MORE ROUND gave me chills
During UFC 305 live, I had the CJI live set up on the laptop under the biggest/clearest tv at The Grand Sports Lounge. Everyone appreciated it and were going crazy during this epic match!
Thank you Craig for making history amd setting the standard to a higher level 🤝
I was tired after the first round. Had to grab an energy drink. Love this match! Great job CJI!
Legendary Match! 🔥🔥
I’ve been training for about 9 years and I never really watched any matches, but now I’m sold. The production, commentary, level of talent, and the fact that is free is just unbelievable. I can’t wait for the next one.
Making this fight available almost immediately was genius
This should be our first transmission to the aliens
This made my day :]
Imagine it be a race of aliens that’s entire culture is centered around submission grappling…upon receiving the transmission they see it as an open challenge…Earth’s best against their best🤣
This is one of the most exciting events I've ever seen!!!!!! This match elevated the entire event!
Yes. This was the best match ever. Thank you for making the CJI happen.
Those Uchimatas against the alley walls are awsome! Best ever setup for a grappling match no doubts!
Best advertisement for BJJ since UFC 1
Never watched a full bjj match before
That was amazing
Props to those the guys and to Craig and everyone involved in making the Cji happen 👍
These commentators were fantastic. I wish the UFC had these guys. They are exciting but focused. The camera work and lights are top notch as well.
After being at both events I can definitely say I was insanely more entertained at CJI the rounds and pit are the way to go for sure.
Thanks Craig & all the others realizing CJI!
This will be the BJJ equivalent of Forrest Griffin vs Stephan Bonnar.
Dana gave both a contract, would have been cool if Craig announced an extra bonus for Tackett or smth like that
@@zhmlol I believe Tackett did get an extra $20,000?
This was better than any “super fight” this weekend
Craig Jones on top. Best grappling event of all time. Can't wait for the next one I hope it's every year 👍🏻
Bravo to these two, it's so fun to see a legendary match happen in real time. What am amazing leap forward.
Best match of the entire event! Glad Andy got the 20k for Most Exciting Fighter.
This is the first match i've ever saved to watch with my kids (who also train). Simply can't say that about BJJ matches normally. Watched first 30 secs and paused it to watch with them later.
this format will be the standard moving forward
Commenting just to support this format of bjj. What a needed breath of fresh air to the sport. And god damn what a fight this was.
That match was the watershed moment for Grappling/Jiu Jitsu. Jiu Jitsu will forever be talked about before Kade vs. Tackett and after Kade vs. Tackett.
The game has been officially changed.
one of the best grappling matches of all time trust
The combined technique, athleticism, drive, and conditioning in this one match is unmatched! AMAZING!!! FAN OF BOTH!
And people still say Levi deserved to win 😂😂😂😂 it takes TWO to tango and Tackett and Kade were absolutely perfect dance partners. You can’t just lay back and wait for someone to come to you, you have to engage otherwise what’s even the point of competition. This is the most exciting BJJ match you could show someone
If the match starts on the feet and you sit down, especially with no grip then that to me is disengaging. Especially if you’re getting paid to be on that stage.
The greatest grappling match I've ever watched.. That entire event was epic.
Imagine if this was the final with 5 rounds 🤯🤯
This was such a good match, it can't be understated. What an amazing event and exactly what BJJ needs.
I'm not a big BJJ fan but I watch some big matches from time to time, usually not much fun. I started having more fun watching grappling on OneFC but here we are on a different level, I watched 24 hours of streaming without ever getting bored. Thanks CJ
This was one of the greatest matches I have EVER seen!! Absolutely incredible !!!!!
The Griffin/ Bonnar fight of grappling. Thank you CJI for changing the sport forever.
This was one of the greatest matches I have EVER seen!! Absolutely incredible
23:45 - Levi's got an amazing guard and I look forward to passing it.
Narrator - he did not pass it.
this is one of the best bjj fights ive ever seen, so not boring and fast paced unlike the others
Like watching two super Saiyan Gods battle it out.
Kade VS Tacket is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an unstoppable force. Fuck the immovable object. Unstoppable forces ftw.
This is the first time I wasn't board watching BJJ. What an incredible match and organization.
Craig's rule set needs to be the official rule set. Especially once this becomes an Olympic sport.
It's one of the best matches I've ever watched. Hats off to both those competitors.
Best Jiu Jitsu match in history
This is so great what everyone at cji has done!! Thank you!!
16:03 the exact moment andrew lost, what a throw
Mexican ground karate at its highest level & free to watch. Thank you Craig
The karate combat ring for the event was brilliant
Andrew Tackett is the Man! Congrats on Fight of the night! One hell of a production, CJI2!!!
We had a massive party to watch all of CJI and the whole house was SCREAMING for this to go to overtime
Best fight I have ever seen in my life. Great.
Respect to both fighters. Kade giving Tacket a sec to get kades hair out of his mouth was cool. Lol
Excellent. Thank you for this match to both competitors and the organization.
Tackett deserved more than £30k for his work 😆👌
Watched it live but just came back to give this specific upload a like. GOAT match 🐐
Can we get a Tackett/Ruotolo dual meet? Have each brother face the other set of brothers. Same rules, in the alley, or hell, just in an alley.
