@@xpridefcxgomix4525 he didn’t even invent it but he was the first to get the sub in recorded mma, so hats off to him for pulling it off. I’m amazed that people still come up with new moves, like the buggy choke that just got pulled off in a professional mma fight. Crazy stuff. That one could change the game for anti wrestler guys. Side control is no longer a safe position to lay down flat in against someone with a good buggy choke. It’s only a matter of time until we see this happen in the ufc to a wrestler in side control against a new school mma/Bjj guy. Mma is crazy.
I often like to imagine that in the future if an AI learns MMA it will figure out some style which is superior to conventional strategies; it will look absolutely ridiculous but be very effective for the ruleset, kind of like how AlphaGo and AlphaZero's playstyle is considered "alien" by the top chess and go players. Actually, I imagine the superior alien strategy of MMA would look somewhat like this 😂
Well the truth is the best way to win against a living creature is either kill it or cripple it. So ankles wrists elbows knees shoulders and hips I will expect any ai to break or shatter those locations first and foremost ...and since metal is stronger then flesh I bet it would go one sided pretty fast
@@shadelich8417 If it were that easy you would've seen it in the highest levels of competition. Also I was talking about a fair competition where the AI controls a body with same softness as human. Otherwise it defeats the purpose and you may as well give them a terminator robot and guns.
@@MaxLohMusic I based that on the fact the ai most likely will do something based on effectiveness and efficiency. I mean since it can't feel pain it would know how much force it could extent to do maximum dog with the less effort but that's entirely late game it would be really cool to see the progress of such robots and fighting styles for and against them
First half of the video is him tangling up legs and having people scared they'll never walk again, the second half is him lying on his back or throwing his legs at them while the opponent says "NOPE!" 😂
The more times I watch it the more crazy it looks. Meant no disrespect to Imanari, he's obviously a legend.. there's an entire technique name after him. Everyone knew what he was going to do and that's why I was unsure, but it seems even then people could not usually counter his game.
This is something special. What an effective technique. He goes right down and feins a hard fall to coax his opponent into coming down for that finishing blow, right where he wants him. On the ground where he is as a shark in the water, and his opponent will flop like a fish caught in the jaws of destiny. Beautiful and confusing to behold.
I don't think soccer kicks would even solve it. That's just begging to get rolled. It's harder than you think to soccer kick a guy that is purposefully on the ground. He might just take a rib shot to roll you again. Which is hilarious to me. Admittedly, he might just get kicked in the face, but he might also roll you. I'd say like 50 50.
Bruce Lee: take what is useful, discard what is not, this is mixed martial arts. imanari into his 57th self ragdoll in the first round: this is MMA peak performance
speaking of rules, is it legal to step on someone's face in ONE? i remember Bas Rutten showing himself getting caught in an arm bar, and he basically put his body weight on his partner's face. but i dunno if foot is allowed?
@@rehan-ci1tk well yeah. he showed that someone trying to pull off an arm bar or any submission from that position would have a hard time if the victim put their knee or foot on their face. but due to respect or maybe it's against the rules, I don't see any of the fighters doing that in ONE. even when they had ample opportunity to do so.
That guy in the first clip literally tried to kick Imanari on the ground and got rolled, I don't think soccer kicks are going to work nearly as well as everyone thinks they will. Usually soccer kicks are good for downed (as in knock downed) opponents. A guy like imanari who intentionally went to the ground? You're getting rolled. It's a trap.
Interesting sport strategy. You cannot possibly use this in street combat. It's ridiculous to think one would splay himself/herself on the ground in this way to take out an opponent. I love the ONE combat sports network!! Great fighters. Great coverage. Great organization. Keep up the good work!!
If it works on experienced fighters, it will work on ordinary people. His opponents can kick or punch him but the moment he gets a hold of them, they are unable to retaliate.
@@ijoijosip.4998 It is actually an old Catch Wrestling move that was once used by Billy Joyce (Bob Robinson) in the 1960's in the UK. It's called a Diving Leg Grapevine.
For a strategy, It looks effective. In this case, He used it so much that he probably masters every takedown even if he fails the first part of his trick

When Imanari gets knocked down, don't go after him. JUST DON'T. do not. He's one of those ridiculous characters who's 10X more dangerous just lying on the ground than standing up.

He takes the ultimate defensive position of legs in the air to attack and/or grapple, or just sits and taunts. Pretty unique but pissy strat.
thats why it is dangerous

I can picture ryan hall ordering one in a pf changs 😂
could have crab leg meat or octopus leg meat
As a person that never eat in japanese restaurant, i will definitely order the imanari shushi rolls 😁
Its like facing that boss fight with that one killer move that you’re constantly waiting to avoid at any cause.

Never seen a wrestler be so happy on his back.
Maybe because hes no where near close as a wrestler... rofl
Maybe he a tran
U unexpectedly get a stare down w this guy on the street, then boom he got yo legs.
I usually order the Unagi roll but I’m feeling intrepid today. We’ll do two rolls of Imanari
And then you will leave the restaurant in a Wheelchair
Be carefull when they are delivered :)
I love you 😂😂😂
Love this

Also love how some people won’t even follow up heavy hits in fear of it like at 0:49
Reminds me of football flopping tbh. Throwing away all technique and honor to win a game.
It only works because the rules forbid the other guy from kicking you in the head.

Do you actually see yourself doing this in a bar fight or street fight, I don’t think so 🍺
my exact thoughts. cant use it to protect your family from two hooligans in the street. A "sport" technique that somehow disgust me.
@JRG i feel like he'd regret throwing his back on hardwood let alone concrete
I started laughing at 1:48 😂

Never seen such an entertaining fighter that gets applauded when he wants to take it to the ground... but damn what a showman! and damn effective
no butter with that roll
I used to think it was Tony Ferguson who invented it. Imanari-san is a legend then.
Me too

Who invented it? Is it something unrecorded?
Legs are free real estate.

Depends on the rules. That’s why he can get away with it

its so unpractical, so inpredictable, so unsafe that it somehow works
im wheezing, boi i love combat

Every time I watch him jump in and apply that leg lock it reminds me of a spider jumping on its prey!
His skills are a genius way to win
Lol. When he hit the ground, the other dude was like nah... Please get up.
Trained with the man this past summer when I was in Shinjuku. A memory and an honor, I will always cherish
🤣🤣🤣 this guy is a legend 💯👊
I can't imagine this guy getting into a street fights
0:14 that knee is toast, he literally gave it to Imanari
The things you can try, when your opponent is not allowed to kick you in the face when you're rolling around on the floor.
He's always been like the anti-Shinya Aoki. If Aoki is the man of a thousand flying subs, Imanari is the man of one extremely grounded one.
Most entertaining ground fighter of all time
Prime gracie vs imanari would be legendary 🔥
Greatest of all time.

Now this fighter reminds me of Toad from X-men while doing jujitsu submissions on his opponents.
about damn time i get to see him fight again
When you order the Imanari roll and suddenly you are taken down to the ground begging for mercy
it's like fighting Dr Bosconovitch back in Tekken 3 PS1 🤣🤣🤣
For a strategy, It looks effective. In this case, He used it so much that he probably masters every takedown even if he fails the first part of his trick
Bruce Lee once said "A person who practice one kick a thousand times is more dangerous than a person who knows 1000 diff.ways to kick."
Good Granby at the end... he's fun.
Good job man
Imanari roll is like using Snorlax in the Pokemon game
I initially thought it was sushi 🍥🍣😅 never seen this fighter before, whatever works for him 👍

I love Imanari, but I can't help but think of his knockout loss to Joachim Hansen whenever he rolls from the outside for a leglock.
Thats a classic knee
When Imanari gets knocked down, don't go after him. JUST DON'T.
do not.
He's one of those ridiculous characters who's 10X more dangerous just lying on the ground than standing up.
