@athletico7707 He's got 2 x ADCC golds - in the world of no-gi that puts him in the company of Bucheca, Jacare, Renzo, Pena, Werdum, Xande, Rafa Mendes and others
I don't get it, Flo. You got EPIC TRAINING FOOTAGE of two surgically professional titans giving each other a good round and there are TWO cameras on them but the editor doesn't cut to the other camera to give us better views??? Completely missed that take down at 4:25 but there's a dude with a camera getting that footage...? Don't do drugs, Flo! When Gordon and Giancarlo and Meregali are rolling together don't you dare take our eyes off them!
FloGrappling literally has worse camera of any content company ever. It runs like a highschool group of kids not getting paid. Bros, be better. This video is about Gordan Ryan. Maybe put him in the shot. Or at least fixate on the other people. You're switching back and forth almost like you don't know what to shoot.
8:13 with the triangle locked at the bottom, couldn't Bodoni use his right leg to pommel behind Gordon's bottom/left ankle or calf to try to unravel the body lock?? Bodoni was already on his side and the 2 legs are pretty close to each other. Can some higher belts suggest what other options someone could use to get out, that i might not be seeing?
Flo has been a gatekeeper for the sport. They monopolize content behind a paywall so BJJ and wrestling never reach the masses. Filling their pockets > growing the sport.
In training he does it a lot I think. That's how he improves, by putting himself in bad positions and working through them. A lot of top guys train like this.
Wonder how many rounds deep Gordon was as he was looking pretty fatigued right from the start. Still able to go hard with Bodoni who is a fucking beast. And those other 2 smaller dudes next to them were going hard out.
@8:05 and @8:55 giancarlo traps gordons foot, what's that about? Is he trying to somehow hand it off to his hand? I thought the triangle escape was sliding the foot under the leg and opening it up that way, must be something I'm missing.
This is Gordon going easier, and letting his opponent get some good positions while trying to improve on those positions and just in general. That's fun to watch though.
Yeah, and this is Gordon just going easy and letting his opponent get good positions on him. That's how these guys improve. They never go hard in training. Gordon specifically would always go very easy in training. Putting himself in bad positions is a good thing, and most of the top guys try that.
Hard to tell, but he looks probably 10 pounds smaller or so. Trust me, he knows what he's doing though, and maybe felt he could lower his dose slightly. He never looked juiced when competing to me anyway. It was the photos and the magazines where he looked juiced. Gordon definitely is coming in there at his best regardless of what he takes. If he's on a smaller dose then it's for a reason. He'll be at his best, and hopefully performs at his best as well. Remember, the juice is a very very small part of the total product, it's about the jiu jitsu and the technique, especially with a guy like Gordon, and he's talked about this. The juice will just help his athletic ability, and I'm sure he's on enough to optimize his performance with that.
I think him keeping his arm up gave him a bit of space to be able to breath along with stretching back away from the choke rather than into it , then with the little space pushing his thumb and hand up at the wrist to open the space from the choke up more
Just my 2 cents as an old Black belt. I don't think Gordon was giving 100%, it looked like he allowed quite a few advantages that he could have easily defended. Of course you never know how many rounds each athlete had already done. I suspect that if Gordon really wanted the tap, he would have gotten it. Take nothing away from Bodoni, I've rolled with him and he destroyed me, but he's about 30lbs smaller than Gordon.
@@tinoslaponi8514 Oh yeah, not a chance he was. A guy like Gordon would never go 100% in training. In fact, I'm sure he lets his opponent get good positions on him. Going his hardest would not help Gordon improve. I hope people aren't thinking he's going anywhere near his hardest. Gordon is the best. Getting in bad spots and learning from this is one way he improves. He goes easy on even the toughest opponents, or easier I should say.
Well Gordon got bigger and stronger, but I don't think his jiu jitsu improved at at all. That kind of goes without saying though, obviously steroids wouldn't improve the technical part of jiujitsu. The big thing for Gordon was his size, which also allowed him to be stronger.
@@ericfazekas1057 Yeah, I have said it many times before. Anyone who's ever done jiu-jitsu on some level I feel like would know this, like you said before. I guess there are a lot people commenting that really don't understand what they're seeing.
This is sparring. You realize Gordon never goes anywhere close to 100% in sparring. He purposely puts himself in bad positions, that's one way he improves. This is a technique many top guys use. You can tell just by watching he was going easy. This is just how things are done by top guys. He didn't get smoked anyway, but even if he did it would have meant absolutely nothing happening in training.
Really nice to see Gordon work from a disadvantaged position, rarely get to see that, but it’s obvious is defense is second to none.
Love to see two legends putting in work
Don’t get too emotional, damn
@athletico7707 He's got 2 x ADCC golds - in the world of no-gi that puts him in the company of Bucheca, Jacare, Renzo, Pena, Werdum, Xande, Rafa Mendes and others
@athletico7707 is it?
i tend to forget that Bodoni is a ADCC world champion....
destroyed Mateus Deniz and took his title
Me too and idk why… his performance was legendary I really don’t understand why I can’t remember 😅
Yeah same. He's fkn jacked, good training for Gordon.
Giancarlo’s “Becoming Dangerous “ doc is incredible!
@@yamjam7434I think he submitted everyone
The amount of hand and foot control sparring was ridiculous !! Legends here !
Literally missed the best throw in the whole video. Please hire a pro camera crew, Gordon
Gordon's cameraman is in this video using proper equipment, gimble ect. unlike the handycam the amateur Flo hired
He turned away on purpose because it wasn't a throw, he slapped him in the balls.
I’m just like 30 seconds in and already loving this
This was really good. Thanks for this
Wish bodoni was competing in cji. Some cool matchups.
100! He’d be one of the top seeds!
top seed?? they guy is already a tree@@Theshaman12
That is some intense training. Great job by both guys.

I think the second one wasn't by Flo. Maybe from the New Wave channel?
@@Schwerthase Yeah, I thought so, too, cuz he's always there. But still, stay on the action, dang it.
This is America and you have to pay! I'm sorry their lowering your wage but just get another job.
3:43-3:47 smooth escape. The defense is so high level. Great to watch
Great round between these 2 so much technical take away
Great camera work
Dorian is a beast
looks like new wave needs more mat space.
70% of the room is gym machinery
absolutely ridiculous
They don't have their own facility, Gordon says they are saving for one now.
@@SHERMA.Its not a bjj gym.
These are invite-only sessions that happen at the Roka facility. If they needed more mat space, they would just invite fewer people.
@@brian8861 obviously?
do bears s*** in the woods?
Any footage of Craig Jones?
there needs to be more on this channel. FloGrappling needs to get a grip
@@justinhearst lol
RIP
Giancarlo is looking to get that absolute title in 2026. Looks great.
Now this is some interesting stuff. Super curious how a roll looks between them and Meragali
More! More! More!
Gordon is so patient with his defense and offense 👌
So much personality in these videos.

Amazing no guard playing!
Bodoni wanted the tap for those cameras so fing bad

Epic, the team doesn't play around 🔥🔥🔥
for up highlevel in no-gi, need to start bjj whit gi ?
Just realized that some people have been black belts the whole time I’ve been training….
Yeah, can be disheartening knowing you’ll never be good enough to beat a lot of guys
B team camera man?
C team
D team
@@fushey E team
that was intense
Bodoni looks strong. I hope he is able to win gold again. He's an easy guy to root for.
lol the Flo cameraman quality compared to Gordon's cameraman 😂
Its like attacking the liquid metal dude from terminator, its like he just morphs out of any situation
New Wave could take every division except 77kg. Mica is taking gold in 77 but other than that i think new wave is gonna dominate
Gordon always looks like he is fighting in safe mode...until he wins
Honestly Flo, step it up. That kind and even worse behind a paywall is a joke ❤
Great sparring. Two of the best. Bodoni looks very strong right now. Hope the gas tank is there and he gets a repeat.
All this made me rrealise is I CANT WAIT FOR CJI
Now I get why B Team Channel was seen by more than 50 Million ppl last month and Flo not even close to that....
Flo has been a gatekeeper for the sport. They monopolize content behind a paywall so BJJ and wrestling never reach the masses. Filling their pockets > growing the sport.
I can’t believe just how strong Ryan is. Even when bodoni had good position Ryan just able to roll over at will.
Gordon Ryan giving his back wow I do not believe it
In training he does it a lot I think. That's how he improves, by putting himself in bad positions and working through them. A lot of top guys train like this.
Wonder how many rounds deep Gordon was as he was looking pretty fatigued right from the start. Still able to go hard with Bodoni who is a fucking beast.
And those other 2 smaller dudes next to them were going hard out.
CJI on B Team channel for free tomorrow!!
4:33 🔥
what body triangle escape was Giancarlo going for when Gordon had his back?
He had the ankle locked up , several times he had it right , but he doesn’t wanna hurt him
@8:05 and @8:55 giancarlo traps gordons foot, what's that about? Is he trying to somehow hand it off to his hand? I thought the triangle escape was sliding the foot under the leg and opening it up that way, must be something I'm missing.
I see Dorian 👌
CJI LETS GOOOOOOOOO😎😎😎😎
Cameraman you good?
Ryan making Bodoni look like first generation Gracie practitioner...😆
That was a really nice 2 on 1 Russian Tie by Giancarlo, should have gone for the pretzle or the sumi though, they were both right there.
He wanted the back so what
CJI Baby Woooooo!
More interested in their training footage than adcc
whos the cameraman? my Dad and his 90's handy cam?
The camera man finally figured it out around 4:25
cheers
Bodoni had that tap
Someone needs to fire the girl with the camera, she can't hold it still for 5 seconds... FloGrappling, please step up your game
This is probably more action than we'll see in the final of ADCC. Looking forward to CJI which is streaming free on youtube!
This is Gordon going easier, and letting his opponent get some good positions while trying to improve on those positions and just in general. That's fun to watch though.
*Gordon Ryan and Giancarlo Bodoni clash in CJI training
Are they training for CJI?
Gordon Ryan is a finisher. He was in a couple of bad spots, But he always weathers the storm and finishes well.. amazing athlete.
Yeah, and this is Gordon just going easy and letting his opponent get good positions on him. That's how these guys improve. They never go hard in training. Gordon specifically would always go very easy in training. Putting himself in bad positions is a good thing, and most of the top guys try that.
This cameraman...
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
They move like theyre the same exact person except one is blonde and the other is brunette. Like Ken and Ryu from street fighter
There is the Gordão Ryão….
Thought he was retired
🔥🔥🔥🤙🤙🤙💪💪💪
Counterfeit Jones Imitational = CJI
why you train for this when you can win one million?
Because if you don’t train like this and keep competing you won’t win anything.
At 4:36 they kicked that guy in the head who was rolling next to them lol poor guy
Nicky ryans brother is pretty good, but i think everyone wants to watch cji this year
There has to be one ignorant person, making a comment on here I guess
@@ericfazekas1057you’re ignorant if you aren’t supporting CGI over this paywall cash grab known as ADCC New Wave Invitational
Nicholas Meregali rolls looked better in my opinion
OhmyGod! 😭🍑🔥
Not sure why Gordon bothers with all this scrimmage wrestling when he can just pull guard or deliberately concede a takedown in the first period
bro hold the camera still it's your only job it's not that hard I don't care if you're not using a gimbal.
SIMPLY the BEST
Is this the worst camera man ever? 4:20 what the fuck... Pans the camera away at the critical moment 🙄
John Danaher is just sitting there looking like a fat kid in a candy store. Watching his warriors battle.
The most exciting person in the room isn't Gordon
Merigali lol
@@Jeremy_0587 Dorian Olivarez

Hard to tell, but he looks probably 10 pounds smaller or so. Trust me, he knows what he's doing though, and maybe felt he could lower his dose slightly.

A good 10000 calorie burn.
How did Gian survive that fully locked in RNC at 9:00? Jesus. All four of my molars would have exploded.
Gordon went palm to palm but I feel like he had space and time to lock it up properly
I think him keeping his arm up gave him a bit of space to be able to breath along with stretching back away from the choke rather than into it , then with the little space pushing his thumb and hand up at the wrist to open the space from the choke up more

Other camera has better position lmao
Legit seen a 5 y/o with better camera skills using an iphone
So it’s possible to beat Gordon if you try… 😂
Who the fuck is holding this camera
Dude does the film maker has Parkinson’s?
Better than Gordon and merigali
I want to see bordoni and meragali roll, would be a more even match.
Ever since Steroids, these athletes have improved so much, amazing!
Well Gordon got bigger and stronger, but I don't think his jiu jitsu improved at at all. That kind of goes without saying though, obviously steroids wouldn't improve the technical part of jiujitsu. The big thing for Gordon was his size, which also allowed him to be stronger.
Who cares CJI stole the game.
CJI WILL END THE NEED FOR FLO
Would be the best thing for the sport moving forward. It and wrestling would blow up if not hidden behind a paywall.
Flo is garbage. Detriment to the sport, low production value, over priced product.
@02:26 he wouldnt get away with any of that shit against nicky rod
Nicky rod back take ability is really bad lol what are you talking about he is pretty decent at finishing from there tho
Right. in what universe?
This is sparring, keep that in mind. Gordon puts himself in bad positions purposely to try to learn and improve. He's discussed this before.
@@billj4525 thank you Bill, it should be obvious to anybody that has ever rolled on a mat in a jiu-jitsu gym but still you get these comments

Giancarlo smoked Gordon holy crap
Mind you Gordon is sick so his performance has taken a hit
I didn’t see anybody getting smoked lol
Idk why but I've read it like "Gordon has taken a shit" lol
What were you watching?
Or gordon had 8 tough rounds allready before and decided to train defenses and bad positions. We dont know
