Mackenzie hopping into a bjj match 2 weeks after an mma fight is absolute madness, especially with a beast like Ffion.....can't wait to see more of this
Just watched a clip of Gordon Ryan talkn smack at ADCC about cji. Called all these folks cockroaches. Hahahaha. Whatever doooode. Notice how the crowd at ADCC didn’t cheer the comment much? Ya, they were bummed that they showed up to a sleep fest. When have you heard claps and laughs at the same time at a bjj tourney? CJI just set a brand new bar for the sport in whole.
This was a bit of a missmatch with Mackenzie not being in the sport for so long, but man Ffion is a beast and my favorite women grappler, respect to Mackenzie for talking this 2 weeks after her UFC fight, that's insane
Basically the BJJ version of askren vs borroughs, you gotta stay committed to the game in grappling or you get left behind. If Dern was still competing this would have been closer but she’s not just grappling anymore she devotes her time to MMA and MMA specific grappling
I dig Mackenzie a lot. Man she got owned here, though. Granted she jumped in pretty much after winning in MMA, but Davies is a damn machine and apparently Dern hasn't at least maintained her grappling level as it was. She should have rested up, hit the mats again for a few month and then competed later.
@@christopherrobin361 I mean she’s been out of the loop for a while so she’s not up to date with the new meta because the majority of techniques won’t work as effectively in MMA. Plus in MMA her opponents do all they can to AVOID her grappling so she’s used to having the edge and not an even playing field. Thats even if it is an even playing field even in her grappling prime I don’t know if dern would beat ffion. I will say she’d have a better showing
Ffion was excellent! Master class. However, the rolls would be reversed, as they say, should Ffion step in the cage. Hats off to Dern for taking this comp so soon after a fight.
Ffion Davies has been a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Juggernaut for many years and been dominating the black belt Gi and No gi and submitting everyone and shows why she is a GOAT and a Badass 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Mackenzie é realmente uma guerreira, aceitou a luta com uma lutadora de alto nível de jiu-jitsu apesar de estar treinando e lutando somente MMA ultimamente, sou muito fã dessa garota! ❤
I don't think so. Ffion just takes her down with ease like she did here and submits her again. I'm really not certain why you think striking would change this matchup in any way. Dern would get smoked by Ffion in the octagon as well.
As a female blue belt, I really enjoyed this match. I think if Mackenzie would have slowed down a little might of had a chance, but she came out too hot and wild. Ffion was cool, calm and collected and DOMINATED!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Yup, head and arm koshi guruma - text book for no-gi. She was looking for it as soon as round 2 started and Mackenzie decided to stand up with her and circle. Not a great plan given Ffion's background.
Ffion looks huge next to Mackenzie 😅 respect to her taking a fight with an opponent a lot bigger than her who is most likely juicing (considering this is BJJ), two weeks after fighting in the UFC.
Absolutely not. She would be far to busy trying to keep herself from being taken down by Davies. The throw from Ffion in this fight just shows the insane gap between the two. Ffion sets it up perfectly with insane technique and Dern just walks right into it.
Looks like me in my white belt days with good defense resisting submission from a brown belt on top eager to get the job done. Is the gap in skill that massive? Kudos to Dern for coming back to face the top of the top current champ, hat off !
it is vitally important to have these old guard pillars of BJJ be taken down by the new wave of BJJ'er. keeps BJJ healthy (except for that whole gi collar line of thinking...)
Absolutely deserved spotlight for both Ffion and Dern. Respect to both for putting it on the line.

Best show I've watched in a long long time ... CJI is here to stay !!!
lol
Haha. They can't afford to keep doing this type of event.
agreed jiu jitsu is entertaining again the pit is also the best
@@SirPraiseSun keeps them active and engaging ... I love it !!
Craig gets it.
in what sense?

Superb fight.
Fluid fight , no stalling butt scooting.
Davies is so physically strong
Respect to both, mackenzie fought in ufc only 2 weeks before and Ffion is an absolute beast
this fight and Tackett vs ruotolo was the best fights of the whole tournament
I thought Ruotolo vs Nolf was also fun
The fans won in every way.
💯
Seeing the fake Brazilian beat like she can’t grapple at all was nice. Her body don’t make up for her crazy or her face bro
The other girl has cute ish face but she is a better grappler than looker 🤷🏽♂️.
At least the fake Brazilian got beat like a beginner.
Also that body does not balance out that face 🤢
8:58 I could watch this throw all day. Beautiful.
Wasn’t expecting Big Mac to get merked
Ffion made it look easy 🏴
Sick bjj! Thanks craig
Ffion vs Adele CJI 2025

CJI >ADCC
Gordon Ryan doesn’t know how to have fun so makes sense he talked sh*t about CJI
Great matchup to give the women’s bjj scene a bit more of the limelight, adcc could never
they should roll in bikinis to up the popularity
@@AM-ry8is cringe
@@id.est. I would even call it disgusting
@@id.est. no
@@AM-ry8is incredibly cringe unfortunately chief
Derns shoulder had to be sore the next day
And elbow
armbar/americana, possible injury?
Her ass is sore 😏
Luckily her cheeks probably absobed alot of the throw.
I love both of these athletes so much and this fight really showed what the whole event is really about. Such great sportsmanship
Ffion had a great interview with Luke Thomas recently. Made me into a fan just by her attitude. 👍
Womans bjj is just so much better to watch. No chest beating ego bullshit. Skill, respect, and scraps the whole way through.
You suck
Sorry that was my ego driven bf
Lol like women don't have egos 😂😂😂
Outstanding all the way around. Smooth as silk transitions made this a tutorial for us all. Cool armbar finish. More!
Fantastic show, keep 'em coming!
killer harai. welcome to the welsh space program
Judo ners here - Hywel called it harai goshi but it was defo a an o goshi or uki goshi, leg reaps around the outside of the opponent's in the harai.
LOL not a Harai... Was an Uki goshi almost textbook (ignoring the grips)!
Damn that was cool to see!
What a match, what an event. Craig did a great fucking job.
This was a bit of a missmatch with Mackenzie not being in the sport for so long, but man Ffion is a beast and my favorite women grappler, respect to Mackenzie for talking this 2 weeks after her UFC fight, that's insane
Plus she literally just fought a couple weeks before.
"With Mackenzie not being in the Sport for so long" wtf this is bullshit
No one can cure your ignorance @@SoftBottles
@@SensationsRim i don't disagree with the potential mismatch but Mackenzie won Gold medals when ffion was a blue Belt...
There's a huge difference between bjj at the highest levels and mma.
What a match!
Ffion absolutely dominated, i enjoyed this more than Rutolo V Tanner
Imagine Davies with some striking exp in MMA, would be a machine.
I like the slanted, padded walls. Adds a different element to the fight. I'd not seen that before.
2 beautiful fighters and winners inside and out. They are both great and Im not just talking about technical abilities. ❤❤
Dern subbed so hard she started speaking without an accent again.
Not funny. lame and old joke. Smh I bet you couldn't sub a kindergarten teacher.
Old
Cool now let's see the other girl in the octagon
Shes such a good soul, we're all the better for having her around
That was great fun to watch - love this setting.
Basically the BJJ version of askren vs borroughs, you gotta stay committed to the game in grappling or you get left behind. If Dern was still competing this would have been closer but she’s not just grappling anymore she devotes her time to MMA and MMA specific grappling

WOW!! what a fight, that Judo throw!!! Two awesome athletes!
This was such a fantastic event! Thanks to all the athletes and everyone who was involved in making this happen! What a great time for our sport! ❤
Ffion is my favorite grappler. Hands down. So good. So fun to watch. Great teacher. She rocks.
That was a good one!
I can't believe in the first 10 seconds you have Ffion pressing mk onto the wall and Hywell keeps talking about how fierce mak looks
Mackenzie é realmente uma guerreira, aceitou a luta com uma lutadora de alto nível de jiu-jitsu apesar de estar treinando e lutando somente MMA ultimamente, sou muito fã dessa garota! ❤
This was my favorite match on the card
Now put Ffion in the Octagon with Mackenzie and there will be a much different story!
I don't think so. Ffion just takes her down with ease like she did here and submits her again. I'm really not certain why you think striking would change this matchup in any way. Dern would get smoked by Ffion in the octagon as well.
Ffion your mom in the crowd 🥺🤍💗 she looks sooo proud im literally sobbing LOL
As a female blue belt, I really enjoyed this match. I think if Mackenzie would have slowed down a little might of had a chance, but she came out too hot and wild. Ffion was cool, calm and collected and DOMINATED!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Tiene razón !
MD se calienta muy ràpido y se frustra rápido también
Ffion didn't let her slow down
Your correct, she came out too wild. I see it all the time at my gym too, stay cool and steady, cause when you gas out, you die.
Great match! Well done Craig Jones.
Crazy that dern fought in the ufc a couple weeks before this
desperation for Dern to fight on this level with onlt 2 weeks rest. must have needed the $$$ and recognition.
So inspiring!!!🌼
Complete dominance of Ffion: there's levels to it!
Mackenzie is so done.
Great show 👏🏾 👍 👌 🙌 ❤️
Best fight of the night!
great match 🔥
Insane finish!
Beautiful finish. CJI is doing bits.
TBH like Ffion must be on gear the way she physically manhandled Dern. That was suspicious strength
Ffion is tough and strong to be sure but what I saw there was superb technique and a fantastic positional top game. No evidence of PEDs there.
Cope
@@jleano609I saw what I saw.
@@CADClickerdon’t have horse in this race and I can’t unsee what I saw. She is 100% on the gear. Dern would be too if she wasn’t in testing program.
Went as expected.
Wow, you did actually put a total spoiler in the thumbnail…
Decent fight. Both are forces to be reckoned with.
Love ffion ! Can’t wait for cji 2 im going!
Can we see these two pitted against each other in a UFC fight? Dern would have the advantage there...
My new favorite video
Ffion Davies is a BEAST!
so cool! Amazing event!
Great finish Ffion! Youre a beast!
That harai goshi looked an awful lot like a koshi guruma. Big takedown though!
Yup, head and arm koshi guruma - text book for no-gi. She was looking for it as soon as round 2 started and Mackenzie decided to stand up with her and circle. Not a great plan given Ffion's background.
Good stuff.
What a phenomenal fight!!!!

I'll bet dern wouldn't try to initiate any takedowns against Davies in an MMA fight.
Absolutely not. She would be far to busy trying to keep herself from being taken down by Davies. The throw from Ffion in this fight just shows the insane gap between the two. Ffion sets it up perfectly with insane technique and Dern just walks right into it.
Ffion is so good
Nice throw to back triangle 👍.
Get a fundraiser for more divisions and get some high level judo guys in a gi alley event 🤘
Amazing 👏
Get a room, you two!
These beauties deserve so much more than ADCC could ever give them!
Ótima luta!!!
outstanding
Awesome!
you can be as amazing in you past but the younger generation who continued to do it while you were away will always surpass you.
Solid performance
Dude this PIT is crazy!!!
This should be used in MMA and every other sport!!!!

This. I thought she made Mackenzie look a blue belt and obviously she's goated
i was there, my job was the wipe the sweat off of dern. you KNOW i kept that towel.

Love how the Welsh flag is represented 🏴 👍🏼. Hate it wen we get the British one
Welsh is an exonym, the "Welsh" are thee British. The flag you call British is the union flag.
Who won dad, we all did son, we all did
wow what a match
Mackenzie Dern with the smile on her face as she is getting submitted. She knew it was a good fight.
What a performance!
2:37 match began
Ffion is God.
Damn, Ffions passing is unreal
fantastic march
Not exactly fair… Dern has to pass USADA tests, the other is juiced to the gills.
Good
Match
I can't imagine ADCC not copying the alley ramp diagonal thing next year. they have to.
No cuz they hate craig lol
It’ll be a good ego test
