This guy was not just a Delta Operator, but a legend at the Unit. The fact that he has the humility to compete as a purple belt in a Jiu-jitsu tournament says a lot about his character.
Yeah, I could see his bio for these meets. "John McPhee is an American studying Jiu-jitsu since 2008. Is 6'0" and weighs in at 255 lbs. He is a purple belt. Footnote:He's killed several 100 dirties all around the globe. Good luck"
Yeah shout out to John at his age. I've been training no gi bjj for a decade plus now and recently got into gi jitz and although I did okay, I was getting schooled a bit lol. It's almost like trying to ride a bike again learning gi jiu jitsu vs no gi and that is a mental and physcial battle. Much respect for anybody new, especially older, getting into it and really going for it.
Sir, as a broken down 56-year old retired and physically broken man, I have all the respect in the world for you. This was a great showing and something to be VERY proud of. Well done!
As someone who only started my jiujitsu journey a little more than a year ago and am just a 4 stripe white belt, I can tell you that you absolutely gave him a run for his money. 5 minutes is an eternity on the mat. Good job, brother!!!
Kudos for stepping into the arena. I STARTED my amateur triathlon career when I was 45 and competed for 10 years till my knees failed me. Us old guys gotta keep hammerin'.
We may never fully know or understand all that you sacrificed and accomplished for our country, John. From the depths of my heart, thank you for your service and dedication.
First of all, you did awesome! Great job man. As a former college wrestler myself, I have grappled with judo guys and they are no joke. May I suggest something that has helped my cardiovascular endurance? If you aren’t utilizing the jump rope right now, I promise that you WILL notice a difference rather quickly. You are a legend, Sir… always a pleasure to watch your videos.
@OIiveOilRun It was a points loss and 2 points is close to nothing in BJJ, you get 2 for a basic takedown or a sweep. Either you're a troll or you have no clue wtf you're talking about.
John, you’re the soldier that all roads lead to. I first ran into you after Pat was on w Jocko.., as funny as that sounds.., I started that podcast but as soon as I did when I looked at the comments people were talking about how the there was a guy called the Sheriff of Baghdad who once “killed 1,000 people in a night” which was gravely taken out of context.., but the things they were saying about you made Pat look like.., well, Pat. There’s was little content of you back then.., but not long after Ryan Fugit had you on and I became a fan of his through you. I just want to thank you for giving your story so freely and staying true to yourself these last 13 years…and for doing Combat Stories when you did. It’s good to see you competing and still living life doing what you love.
John, the fact that you’ve read everyone of these comments, and have put so many heartfelt responses next to them; is a testament to all who read the establishing yourself as an absolute leader who’s earned every bit of it with study, commitment, and sacrifices, such that the American historians who were write about you will never know. John, whether you like it or not, you are an American icon. I love ya and appreciate you, brother. (Former enlisted 11B Turned Blue in 1978, later commissioned Field Artillery)
Bro, as a fellow Jits guy and Veteran, your still a badass. You are the definition of the Being Comfortable being Uncomfortable. You got this next Worlds in the bag man. An inspiration you are. Would love to train, shoot and hang with you one of these days
Good work! As a 54 year-old man who's let himself go, (particularly over the last 53 years), I feel inspired to start doing a few press-ups every day, just in case!
Great job! Your videos are cool because it motivates us to put ourselves in vulnerable situations to get better. As a dad, I am trying to do that with my kids with sports. Really cool to see your hard work and humility.
Who the hell did they put you against, Kublai Khan? Nice effort, dude. At our age, that was a great showing. In the famous last words of the captain of the Titanic, "Full steam ahead, and fuck the icebergs!"
Good luck next weekend at Worlds Shrek! Fellow purple belt here. Your videos have helped me with mindset at work and also during a difficult physical therapy phase. Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
Quitting isn’t in The Sheriff’s vocab! Conquered it at the unit and is hungry for more. This is the beginning of his journey to conquer again. Like the natives said in the past, the bear in him will never rest. Go get it baby! You inspire the F out of me.
Old wrestler here, I kept yelling at the screen for John to heel pick his opponent, it was sooo close! If he could have gotten one arm free. A lot of guys lead with their right foot so if you’re slightly left hand adept it’s kind of lined up if you can make it happen. I know in the shape I’m in I would never last a full match unless I got a quick pin either way! Me pinning the other guy or me getting pinned. Lol Props to you for getting out there and doing it, then putting it out there for us to see!!
You da' man! Excellent job. I'm 64 years old, after nearly a lifetime practicing other striking martial arts, I started training BJJ at 36. Now a 4th degree bb. Competed into my fifties in both bjj and judo. Still teach on and off. I've had shoulder surgery, (still a bad shoulder), leg surgery, broke my tibia on the mat in bjj, on and on. I've got injuries on top of my injuries and I don't regret a single f*cking day of training or competing. BJJ is a physically exhausting sport, especially against a room full of younger men every night. Seriously sir, you have all my respect.
great job old man! you kept that youngster at bay really well! you are a testament to "old guys rock"! i am 64 yrs. and just retired from 40 yrs. of M.A. training. mostly traditional karate-do. had both hips replaced and now knees are gone. i envy you for staying at it! i wish i could. use it or lose it brother! well done!
John is the literal definition of perseverance and determination. For most people, including myself... We can't even comprehend what he has endured. Competing at this age when most of us are sitting at home watching this with a bag of chips is so impressive. You can take John out of the fight, but can't take the fight out of John. A true badass on all accounts. 🫡 The upmost respect to the SOB.
Mad respect to both men, they are both legends in their countries. They both had to hold back because they both have moves that would not be allowed in Jujutsu. I would pay to see both of these men fight in the MMA. Please keep in mind John is older and as dangerous as ever, both are amazing men!
Being a 50 year old purple myself , I'm happy every day I can still do it, some days I give the younger guys a run for their money other day I feel like if I was a horse they would shoot me. Good job.
Looking forward to seeing you at it again. That snap down takedown off the collar grip is a good one to keep honing: Feel the pressure pushing back and hit him with a hard snap. So efficient and usually leads to front head position of back takes. I know he was back stepping a lot so the pressure wasn't there. Either way, it was AWESOME seeing you out there doing it!
@OIiveOilRunI don’t think Shrek is fiction. And while Lone Survivor has been exposed for grossly exaggerating the events, 3 SEALs did die. Its disrespectful I think to write off those deaths as fiction
John you got one hell of a gas tank. For those who don’t roll, John was pushing the pace from the get go. Even tho it end up on the ground with the guy trying to get side control, shriek was expending so much energy and was able to get back up and kept going. You wanna know what’s one of CAGs criteria to get in the unit? Shrek just showed everyone a great example of it. Just pulling on dudes Gi is tiring. Now I know now why Tim Kennedy don’t want none. The SOB ain’t no joke! Respect!
If they only knew who they were rolling with out there! This man has seen it all and done it all at the tip of the spear with The Unit and still humble enough to go out there and compete!
It’s fantastic to see iron keeping iron sharp. Another good example like Tim Kennedy staying in the game keeping busy being a monster but in a better way. Jiu Jitsu humbles any monster.
Check out his content with Ryan Fugit. Learn about the Mr. Goodbar test. Without Combat Stories a lot of these military podcast wouldn’t have been thought of.
No matter what style of fighting, when we get up to our age, endurance is always a mofo...This comes into the equation whether in a real fight or in competition. Way to represent CSM...HOOAH!!!👊
This gave me instant flashback to when I randomly decided to compete in a Freestyle wrestling tournament at 34 years old. It took me about 4 hours to fully recover from 6 minutes of wrestling.
Well done man. Have been amazed by your experiences you've provided in interviews. Not surprised to see you relentlessly competing. Best wishes for continued success.
You have more power than him, and he was pretty worn out the second half. He was just trying to nullify and milk the clock after he got his points. I took Judo and Japanese Jiu-Jitsu back in the day (for what it's worth), and in Judo the idea is taking your opponent's balance always. When you went for the foots sweep, he basically pulled you straight down since your balance and momentum went laterally. Attacks and are always counter or perpendicular to the opponents movements. Another other option, if he was maybe able to have more power would be to try to rotate you off balance, but that takes more finesse and generally means both folks go down. You gave him your back and he didn't immediately go for an sub. That is telling he was not comfortable being the aggressor. Loved your AAR analysis, always on point with your insight! - Stephen
Strong effort Shrek! Literally left it all out on the mat! The match was actually very competitive and close. The adrenaline dump is a very real thing people! Loved your composure and control!
Entered my first at 48. Thought I trained well and decently intense and still nothing matched stepping in the mat at Worlds. Looking back the experience leading up was most valuable, but also overall experience on the mat and with my teammates supporting, and supporting them too.
Honestly, I wish you did VLOGS! Keep up the hard work, man! I’m 28. I’ve been battling with some depression issues lately and your attitude has really given me perspective on my life. Thank you for that.
@@joepic85 hahaha. Yeah, thats true. I moved to a town with a MMA gym in high school my freshman year and these guys kept talking shit to me, so we did “body shots” I kept up and actually won. This kid decides lets roll, he choked me so hard my eyes felt like they were gonna pop out and my Adams apple made me feel like something was jn my throat. Ignorance and being a teenager made me continue to call him a bitch and refuse to tap- I woke up with him standing over me scared to death. He had choked me unconcious. Hes a pro fighter now and were best friends to this day. 🤣👌🏼 Depression is weird thing though! I think once I find my way again I will get over it. Its mainly the recourse of my actions, my sons mom cheated and now I’m paying for it by her using him as a weapon against me. Shitty situation but its mine to deal with.
@@joepic85 It wasnt my actual Adams apple. I was trying to convey that it felt like I had a lump in my throat, but yeah he wasn’t the best. We were kids though and I wasnt going out easy. You ever tried choking a horse while its trying to buck you off? 🤣🤌🏼 I like watching Danaher teach. I think if I ever got taken to the ground I could hold my own unless it was someone who had trained. I've always wanted to learn… its never too late though. I've always been into boxing and stand up but I think versatility is crucial in anything in life. How would you go about starting? Like walking into the gym then what? I don't know the culture too well.
A very even and competitive fight imho. He couldn't really do so much because of your strength!. Looking forward to the next chapter in your journey. You have inspired me at 51 to start BJJ! Come get this neck!!! 😂
Right on brother! This old dog hasn't hit the mats down here in Southern pines since covid but if I keep watching you I might motivate myself back into the gym ..
This video i think may have just encouraged me to start training again. Seeing you out there knowing you're gassed but keep pushing.. I'm 40 years old. I still weight train and run stairs but no mma training of any kind in almost 5 years now. I just get so fu
This guy was not just a Delta Operator, but a legend at the Unit. The fact that he has the humility to compete as a purple belt in a Jiu-jitsu tournament says a lot about his character.
For real...to be top tier Delta...age...then start out in a new discipline and complete in public. Testament to not being held in a box.
Yeah, I could see his bio for these meets. "John McPhee is an American studying Jiu-jitsu since 2008. Is 6'0" and weighs in at 255 lbs. He is a purple belt. Footnote:He's killed several 100 dirties all around the globe. Good luck"
Isn't any man who passed selection in The Unit a legend??
Amazing a 60 year old retired veteran competing with dudes half his age. Keep it up SGM as you continue to impress this retiree.
"Humility to compete as a purple belt" - that's a wild statement. It's not showing humility it's showing he's a normal person.
The real deal is that most people have absolutely no idea how fast jujutsu will wear you out so hats of to John at his age
Yeah shout out to John at his age. I've been training no gi bjj for a decade plus now and recently got into gi jitz and although I did okay, I was getting schooled a bit lol. It's almost like trying to ride a bike again learning gi jiu jitsu vs no gi and that is a mental and physcial battle. Much respect for anybody new, especially older, getting into it and really going for it.
Sir, as a broken down 56-year old retired and physically broken man, I have all the respect in the world for you. This was a great showing and something to be VERY proud of. Well done!
Hey bro o respect you till u fight u are not broken.
I just hit 53 and I am exhausted after just watching that match.
May you have healing in Jesus name
"The only thing you can guess about a broken down old man is that he is a survivor" - Joe Sarno
Sheriff will never leave meat on the bone!
This guy will ball forever! Mad respect 👊 💪
The glory always goes to the man in the arena.
Not to the critic. Or the man who says he would have done this or that no the credit goes to the man in the arena doing the acctual deed.
As someone who only started my jiujitsu journey a little more than a year ago and am just a 4 stripe white belt, I can tell you that you absolutely gave him a run for his money. 5 minutes is an eternity on the mat. Good job, brother!!!

You said in another video you were smoked. That guy was smoked also. You did a great job. Awesome to watch you compete
I appreciate that
@@sobtacticalThat was fantastic,obviously u will never be u,25 yrs ago,but certain skills& muscle memory remain..Great Job,
@@sobtactical Wicked good match. Can I recommend something to really help your BJJ endurance? Bearcrawls make them a staple of your workouts.
Great work.
@OIiveOilRun It was a points loss and 2 points is close to nothing in BJJ, you get 2 for a basic takedown or a sweep.
Either you're a troll or you have no clue wtf you're talking about.
Badass shot at the end sheriff. You showed you weren’t defeated yet.
A man with many tools practicing discipline using one ,while getting his school and exercise in. Thanks for being a role model sir.
John is warrior. God bless that man for humbling himself in front of the world at his age. Bravo!!
John you're a legend never forget that!
John, you’re the soldier that all roads lead to.

Good job John. Some People dont realize the energy it takes to train Jiujitsu let alone the afterburner effects of competition. Godspeed.
Bro, as a fellow Jits guy and Veteran, your still a badass. You are the definition of the Being Comfortable being Uncomfortable. You got this next Worlds in the bag man. An inspiration you are. Would love to train, shoot and hang with you one of these days
Good work! As a 54 year-old man who's let himself go, (particularly over the last 53 years), I feel inspired to start doing a few press-ups every day, just in case!
Aggression and violence of action, check, you inspire me in writing the next chapter and making it better than the last!
After his takedown he was protecting against the same for the decision. Gassing out but still pushing the fight. Love it !
Great job! Your videos are cool because it motivates us to put ourselves in vulnerable situations to get better. As a dad, I am trying to do that with my kids with sports. Really cool to see your hard work and humility.
John is a badass no matter the outcome.. keep grinding dude! You are a legend!
Thats how you show getting old is choice. Much respect and thank you for being an example of what a disciplined man can accomplish
Who the hell did they put you against, Kublai Khan? Nice effort, dude. At our age, that was a great showing. In the famous last words of the captain of the Titanic, "Full steam ahead, and fuck the icebergs!"
This man is a legendary delta force operator called the “sheriff of Baghdad.” Absolute savage war fighter and a hero
Good luck next weekend at Worlds Shrek! Fellow purple belt here. Your videos have helped me with mindset at work and also during a difficult physical therapy phase. Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
Hopefully he records that match as well so we can watch. Good luck John 😎👊
Way to go John! Very proud of a great American combat soldier!!😊
Quitting isn’t in The Sheriff’s vocab! Conquered it at the unit and is hungry for more. This is the beginning of his journey to conquer again. Like the natives said in the past, the bear in him will never rest. Go get it baby! You inspire the F out of me.
What can i possibly say that hasnt been said already. John your character speaks for itself Sir. Awesome job
Appreciate you posting this.

Watched his S.R show interviews, this man is someone you dont want to be enermys with. Beast of a man 💪 🐻
How AWESOME that this SM is still leading the way. NCOs lead the Army, Officers just take the credit for it.

Father time is still undefeated. Proud of you brother You win every-time you step in there. Feeling a bit inspired here
Being a warrior is finding a good mountain to climb. Keep it up
Great to see you out there competing. 5 minutes feels like forever! Very proud of you 👏🏻
Being a 50 year old purple myself , I'm happy every day I can still do it, some days I give the younger guys a run for their money other day I feel like if I was a horse they would shoot me. Good job.
Nicely done John. Looking forward to watching your next fight. Keep it up man, and thank you for your service 😎👊
Jiujitsu competition is absolutely grueling
Good work
Hung tough and kept fighting !
From a 48 yr old brown belt
Respect. Total respect John. Cheers, Mark
Bro, that's insane. Hardcore jizsu in his your fifties. Mad respect!
Looking forward to seeing you at it again. That snap down takedown off the collar grip is a good one to keep honing: Feel the pressure pushing back and hit him with a hard snap.

Unbelievable! This Guy is my Fuc!'n Hero ! Sheriff Of Bagdad ! Mad Respect
I don’t no why a movie has not been made about the sheriff of Baghdad,,, he’s a character,,
Joe Rogan needs to get him on
@OIiveOilRunI don’t think Shrek is fiction. And while Lone Survivor has been exposed for grossly exaggerating the events, 3 SEALs did die. Its disrespectful I think to write off those deaths as fiction
He has always said he didn't want to be thanked for his service...
If I'm that mobile when I reach that age, I've won at life. Let alone compete in ju jitsu. Dude is a icon
Nice work McPhee🤙🏻, way to represent. From a humble professor and retired Soldier. Highest respect to the man who keeps standing back up
What a legend! Mad respect for stepping on the mat and battling.
You’re the man. Hope you continue to kick life’s ass. I may finally decide to get myself into jujitsu,I’ve talked about it long enough
John you got one hell of a gas tank. For those who don’t roll, John was pushing the pace from the get go. Even tho it end up on the ground with the guy trying to get side control, shriek was expending so much energy and was able to get back up and kept going. You wanna know what’s one of CAGs criteria to get in the unit? Shrek just showed everyone a great example of it. Just pulling on dudes Gi is tiring. Now I know now why Tim Kennedy don’t want none. The SOB ain’t no joke! Respect!
Awesome job! Very inspiring! I'm gonna do my 1st competition after watching you.
Go for it!
Good hustle, competition in the upper masters divisions is so exhausting. Huge props.
John your a true warrior on or off the battlefield!
America should be proud of one of your retired but feeling young vet, The Sheriff....what a legend to hos words.
If they only knew who they were rolling with out there! This man has seen it all and done it all at the tip of the spear with The Unit and still humble enough to go out there and compete!
BJJ bluebelt here! Awesome competition! And props to the Delta Legend! Mad respect brother.
You certainly gave him a match! Well done!
Warriors always find a way to compete. It's in our DNA. We dont measure ourselves by height or weight, we measure ourselves by heart.
It’s fantastic to see iron keeping iron sharp. Another good example like Tim Kennedy staying in the game keeping busy being a monster but in a better way. Jiu Jitsu humbles any monster.
After that Shawn Ryan episode I’m a fan for life Shrek. 💯💯
My sentiments exactly. Well done, SOB!
Check out his content with Ryan Fugit. Learn about the Mr. Goodbar test. Without Combat Stories a lot of these military podcast wouldn’t have been thought of.
Sheriff u were awesome the heart of a true warrior stay strong love watching you with Shawn Ryan 🙏✌️🇺🇸👁️
No matter what style of fighting, when we get up to our age, endurance is always a mofo...This comes into the equation whether in a real fight or in competition. Way to represent CSM...HOOAH!!!👊

Good fight, was fun to watch. You did a good job shrek. You‘ll be always a warrior. Respect my friend 👍
Warrior. Love your supporter too. She was on it !
Well done man. Have been amazed by your experiences you've provided in interviews. Not surprised to see you relentlessly competing. Best wishes for continued success.
I'm an Army vet, for those that don't know him. SGM 'Shrek' McPhee is a real life solid snake. He's the real big boss.
You have more power than him, and he was pretty worn out the second half. He was just trying to nullify and milk the clock after he got his points.
I took Judo and Japanese Jiu-Jitsu back in the day (for what it's worth), and in Judo the idea is taking your opponent's balance always. When you went for the foots sweep, he basically pulled you straight down since your balance and momentum went laterally. Attacks and are always counter or perpendicular to the opponents movements.
Another other option, if he was maybe able to have more power would be to try to rotate you off balance, but that takes more finesse and generally means both folks go down.
You gave him your back and he didn't immediately go for an sub. That is telling he was not comfortable being the aggressor.
Loved your AAR analysis, always on point with your insight!
- Stephen
That is so bad ass. You went after the double leg in last 5 secs. Awesome! 👊🏼🤙🏼
Outstanding, Top!
Strong effort Shrek! Literally left it all out on the mat! The match was actually very competitive and close.
The adrenaline dump is a very real thing people! Loved your composure and control!
I was exhausted just viewing this epic battle.
Fucking legend dude. Still kicking ass 20 years later lol keep up the hard work shrek!!🫡💪
Loved this! You're a beast!
I got chills when you reacted to your wife’s voice. Way to battle!
Looks like a huge age difference. The beast is just not afraid to get hurt in comp.
You're the man, the real John Wick!
Dammit Man!!! Was pulling for ya Sgt.Major! You’ll kick his ass next time for sure!
Nice. Keep getting it for us old dudes!
IBJJf Worlds is no joke. Lookin great out there. OSS.

Are you going to no gi worlds this year?
You did awesome man. You’re quick as hell. And to think, blue gi probably had no idea who he was up against 😅
Great job! Looking forward to your next match.
Great work 💯💯💯
Just did my first competition in January and did my last one a few weeks ago. White belt here. I’m definitely going to continue competing
Very proud to see this Coach. Your drive and work ethic are inspiring! I was waiting for you to just rip your gi off...and shrek the guy!
Honestly, I wish you did VLOGS! Keep up the hard work, man!
I’m 28. I’ve been battling with some depression issues lately and your attitude has really given me perspective on my life. Thank you for that.
do BJJ. that depression will go away. Cant be depressed when you are trying not to get choked out lol
@@joepic85 hahaha. Yeah, thats true. I moved to a town with a MMA gym in high school my freshman year and these guys kept talking shit to me, so we did “body shots” I kept up and actually won.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Nothing but respect!!!
Right on brother! This old dog hasn't hit the mats down here in Southern pines since covid but if I keep watching you I might motivate myself back into the gym ..
Great work, lots to build on, you're an inspiration
This video i think may have just encouraged me to start training again. Seeing you out there knowing you're gassed but keep pushing.. I'm 40 years old. I still weight train and run stairs but no mma training of any kind in almost 5 years now. I just get so fu
