Legitimately one of the best backtakes i've ever seen
Mikey is the definition of prodigy and is leading the next generation of grappling legends
prodigy is right! The nickname needs to be passed from BJ Penn to this new generation prodigy, he’s a virtuoso
Gordon Ryan entered the chat and smacked you
@@ck3082 You don't know who Mikey is then. Gordon trains with elite grapplers and coaches and Mikey trains in his garage with regular people. Mikey has also been doing BJJ since he was 4...
Yeah he basically teleported to get that back take lol
COMPLETELY agree!!!
wow, your first debut
U gave ur leg to the master of leg lock to take his back
Badass
We know what you meant, but you can't have more than one debut 🙂
@@marcd1981 technically u can still call it a debut if its in a different organization, its his one fc debut but hes been competing for ages
@@Av4nQuisH that’s true, wasn’t thinking of that, thanks for pointing it out.
Imanari is the master of leg locks in MMA . . . in the pride days . . . it's long been established he's not the Master of Leg Locks from a pure grappling perspective. It actually kinda takes away from why he's such a legend, because that mfer was diving for the legs when kicks were coming at him lol
Bruce Lee wrote it, “I let him come close so I can graze his skin, I let him graze my skin, so I can pound his flesh, I let him pound my flesh so I can break his bones, I let him break my bones so I take his life”.
You’ve just observed this in this video, I gave him bait… so I can take the big fish.
Aka I gave him his treasured foot/leg… but I gave it to him, he didn’t take it away from me… it’s a gift…
PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS
Listening to this guy's breakdown makes me like him so much more!!
It’s also like a spooky kind of confidence. Like “I’ll tell everyone how I did it …and they still won’t be able to do anything about it.”😁
Spooky.
For real.hes an.amazing kid and very intelligent
@@vincef7487 for real he awesome
Watch his Joe Rogan episode. You'll love him even more.
He sounds like a fruit
What a cool kid and great attitude. He will go far not just in grappling, but in over all life. Keep up the good work and attitude kid!
He's 26
He's also already a 4 time jiu jitsu champion 🤭
KID?
@@6AlphaMikeCharlie9 I’m older than him and therefore refer to him as “kid”
He will go far. He has a great attitude too. And. That’s key.
I love how he nerds out while describing the fight. Shows his real passion.
Can’t remember who said it but a fighter basically said BJJ has for want of a better word a strong nerd following because the incredible technical skills that are involved - like playing master chess with the human body
He has the face of a man who's discovered his passion in life.
For people who have never rolled - or practiced BJJ - What this kid did, is no short of absolutely incredible. It's unheard of. The simultaneous work he did is absolute bonkers.
dude the inverted position was insane. i learned a lot from this video
What color is your belt? For people who never rolled
He got lucky
@@brotherdio4401 I'm a rainbow color belt - you know - inclusion and all.
i do that in my sleep
So nice to see this level of sportsmanship after the fight. The smiles, the hugs, the compliments... Both of these fighters are complete winners in my book after this match.
I haven't seen very many toxic people in jiu-jitsu, most the time super humble.
Absolutely. Sometimes we focus too much on winners and losers - this was easy to focus on character. Two great fighters.
This professionalism is characteristic of ONE Championship.
A humble, happy warrior! And a great technician!
sweetest boa constrictor you'll ever meet
Imagine him being a general in a army, leading tactical invasions lol, my boi would take over! 😂
This kid has not just studied the holds, but all of the physics behind them. It's endearing to see this passion, and I hope he keeps this fire.
Honestly I HATE watching people grapple, but listening to this dude explain everything was super interesting!
I’m not huge on watching pure BJJ contests either. But Stevie Wonder could see how good this kid is. You gotta respect the picture perfect technique from anyone but especially a teenager. He’s the textbook definition of a nerd assassin. That was special and to do it to a legend like that just makes it all that much more impressive.
I like it when it looks like this kind of match, where the fighters are constantly battling for position, attacking different options for a sub, and stuff like that. It’s when no major change of position is happening and one person is just holding the other down, or against the cage, but accomplishing nothing, that I get frustrated with watching. Also agree that it’s ten times better the way this kid breaks it down. I guess that speaks to the value of good announcers who can explain some of the intricacies to us normies. 😁
@@FamousActor_AlPacenis, Absolutely agree! How amazing for a kid like that to beat Imanari of all people, in a grappling match! I’m no studied grappler or anything, but if I know anything, it’s that beating Imanari at his own game is some next level sh#£!
Don’t watch. Pretty simple.
@@FamousActor_AlPacenis Stevie Wonder would find out he buttscoots and close the video
Love how he is geeking out about it. Never seen a breakdown like this.
Wow, this kid is a total badass on the ground. What a pleasure to watch him explain how he did what he did! Thanks ONEFC! ✌🏽🔥🔥🔥
I’ve never seen someone move that fast when he takes his back! Stay humble dude, you’ll go far!! 🤟🏼
love the humbleness and respect shown to an absolute living legend in Imanari. Thank you for sharing it with us!
they even names a sushi roll after him
Mikey's a beast. He's so good for his age. He will be a legend in 15 years.
He already is a legend
@@BG-sj7zh like ryan Gordon type legend
More like a legend 15 months ago! Maybe 1.5 years ago....
@@chancebockenstest5170 Id say he is already. Peep the resume.
He’s already a legend after that win
Phenomenal breakdown, very impressive, great guy
I love this kid, what a great ambassador for the sport and the fact that he’s a straight killer yet has this aww shucks attitude makes it all a fun package to experience.
Just humility at its finest. His parents raised him well.
Wrestling coach of over 10 years here (7 high school 4 and counting collegiate), Very technically sound and well broken down. Your patience and focus in this match are impressive. I wish you many great matches to come Mikey
I came here for the title "I gave him my foot on purpose" and Im really impressed by him, looks and sound so young and watching it seems he was doing and practiced this martial arts for decades pretty amazing congrats
Since he was 4
Agreed. Great video and insight.
Older sister is a BJJ world champ. They live together and train all day.
Such an honourable win
Dude is always smiling. Super nice guy with killer instincts! He is going to be a legend
Love how humble he is for taking down a legend. This guys gonna have a great career!!
The technical breakdown on angles, leverages, and positioning and setting up the position is literally Olympic coach level. You had a very awesome technical coach. That’s hundreds of hours on your back, practicing locks, and changing to new locks, escapes etc etc.
What a nice kid! Love watching him..
I really enjoyed listening to this humble but rightfully proud young man describe exactly how and why he was able to take down someone he considered a legend. This was a real treat.
I’m glad Joe had this legend on!! Lots of class and very humble! Look forward to seeing you leave your mark on this great sport!
I’m always amazed on how technical ju-jitsu is. Amazing
That back take was crazy fast. I blinked and missed and had to replay it.
I did too...
it took 4 minutes
How can you not love Mikey!?
Can’t help but root for this kid. So intelligent and skillful. You can tell he loves being a martial artist.
I'm so jealous, I wish I could have had this kind of training when I was younger, your going to go far my man, respect
Mikey puts a smile on my face every time I watch his videos. Broke my heart when he was “boo’d” in one of the videos after winning a match. He’s incredibly humble and respectful. You can tell he doesn’t want to hurt anyone and shows concern and care after.
Imagine how vulnerable some one must feel when Mikey has your back and then decides you can’t use your arms either. What an absolute show of skill in this match.
Watching two incredible ground fighters like this is great, and it feels even better when they’re super nice afterwards, the respect is 10/10
I'm not into grappling but I respect it tremendously. I watched this a few weeks back and was completely engaged. Mikey was all-over Imanari like a damn wet suit. It is amazing to see grown men this damn bendy. The high level display by both men was something to enjoy.
The last thing you ever want to do is to get into a fight with someone who practices any kind of grappling or jiu jitsu. It is such a unique technique that without any training you will never win that fight. You better get a punch in before they take you down.
Exactly the same I'm not into it at all but seeing someone so good at what they do is impressive pure dedication on show.
One of the most entertaining and educational breakdowns of a fight.
"Sometimes when you are standing it gets really boring"
Maybe for the person doing it but for everyone else it's much more dynamic
Yea its boring for him because he doesn't know how to fight and can only BJJ. Luckily his opponent fell for it and lost to the younger guy with more endurance.
@@Dead_Goat I wouldn't say he doesn't know how to fight. I mean idk if he has any standing game but ground game is certainly part of fighting.
He may certainly not be the most well rounded fighter, or all around fighter but the guy has some bjj and bjj can and does work often.
However any grappling system alone is an incomplete fighting system without including striking. And more importantly for the original point. It's usually much more fun to watch people exchange striking then to watch a guy try to shrimp out of a position or tap to a choke.
I'm so glad Rogan had him on. If not for him I'd have no idea who he was, yet. Binge watching every video of his. Great kid. Huge heart and passion.
I’m SO looking forward to watching Mikey’s career advance and develop over the coming years… Such a pleasant seeming dude and a prodigious talent.. It’s going to be a pleasure to watch him grow and continue to learn new ways to dominate his opponents.
How can you not love Mikey! Such a cool, humble guy - a great role model for the sport.
That back take is legit the sickest thing in martial arts this year
Did you see kade take the back off the fence
@@nickrojas691 mikeys was much more technical and clean
Young man you are some kind of wrestler/ mma fighter.
Not only able to work the plan but also narrate your plan.
AND humble. 👍
After seeing this I'm a fan of Mike! Way to go buddy!
Hope there are more fights of this format, where masters of one type of martial arts really get to showcase their craft as they duke it out. Also loved hearing Mikey’s breakdown and how purposeful his movements actually were.
That's awesome! I never learned so much from a breakdown as watching this one. Great vision and technique. Keep up, man!
I love his attitude, a great ambassador for martial arts! More fighters should aspire to be like Mikey!
Excellent display of talent knowledge and sportsmanship.
I really appreciate martial artists like this. Humble, grateful, honourable and deadly.
So slick throughout the entire match! Love the play by play.
This dude was conceived inside a cloud, that was inside a rainbow that rained skittles. He WILL put a smile on your face, even if you didn't want to.
I took my first BJJ class last week and I understand what Mikey was talking about!!
This kid made me fall in love w jiu jitsu again... Started rolling with people that had TJ Dillashaw, Alistair Overeem training habits and would like to hurt their partners.... Mikey gives me hope
wow deadly precision
congrats sir
That was more impressive than any standing knock out I've ever seen this kid is a 1000% likable How humble
I am surprised that he explained it. He just published his technique for free. Mike Tyson did and has been doing that as well. Teaching his peek-a-boo style and closing space, etc. It is surprising because it seems that it should be passed down to an apprentice that he chooses and not everyone.
Goes to show you how confident he is in his own skill set.. He’s comfortable explaining techniques and strategies in detail, because he’s sure he knows wayyy more than he’d ever be able to divulge through a series of interviews or performance breakdown videos such as this one. It’s one thing explaining to someone what and how I did what I did. It’s another thing altogether to actually deploy those moves and tactics in a competitive setting. His opponents can listen to him explain this stuff all day… Doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be able to execute the maneuver themselves under the pressure of a major competitive environment. Hell, they might not even be able to remember a single word Mikey said once the lights are on and the bell rings.
@@WordToMomsYo Good point.
@@WordToMomsYo Yeah, dude has probably spent more than a decade to hone his craft and a good part of the recent years to specialize on certain attacks, that's not something people can replicate by watching some YT videos and rolling with their mates a bit. And serious competitors who know they will face him have access to videomaterial anyway and their coaches will break it down for them.
So it mainly helps to educate the audience and hence make grappling matches more interesting for them as they will understand better what happens.
@@angelsjoker8190 Great points, thanks.
I mean no hate to the guy, he's an amazing grappler but most of that is straight from the John Danaher/Gordon Ryan school.
Wow, what a humble attitude. Looking forward to more of his matches. Congrats on the submission!
This was awesome.
I don't really follow Jiu-Jitsu matches closely at all, barely ever watch them.
BUT I am a huge MMA and Boxing fan, and I've always loved martial arts.
And I say all of that to simply say this:
The Martial Arts world, needs this kid. Absolutely needs him.
Polite, respectful, highly technical, highly capable, and still humble.
Mikey's everything a martial artist should be, and he represents his art well.
Great role model, and has got me watching Jiu-Jitsu matches because of it.
What an expert. Could you imagine if he wasn't humble? Telling the best in his ear "I got your back easily." Lol
y'all are both incredible champion spirits, thx soldier!
Wow what a debut 🙌👌
hard not to like this kid. wish i could be so happy and enthusiastic and smart and determined about anything
This dude looks like an absolute nerd and I feel bad for whoever decides to bully him just because of how he looks, not knowing that Mikey knows how to break every single bones in your body.
If everyone was like musumecci then everyone would enjoy competition. Literally the shining example of great sportsmanship
I know leg locks are super effective but man they're not fun to watch lmao
Learn!
@@AbdullahMikalRodriguez I’m no expert but i know enough about leg locks to see what’s happening and understand a decent chunk of what’s going on but it’s just not fun to watch lmao
that's what i like to see .... competitors with a huge amount of skill but also so humble at the same time ... giving respect to their opponents ... well deserved ..
Awesome break down, I love watching this kind of content where the fighter walks you through their moves and their mindset behind them. So much information you could spend 10 years trying to find out.
so much humility here....thanks for the breakdown.
Came straight from Rogan podcast to check this dude out. I dont keep up with JIU-JITSU but really enjoy watching it. so i wasn't aware of him. He has a great attitude and rogan seemed very impressed with this guy. So I had to see him roll. Dude is talented! He makes it look easy.
Love this kid so innocent looking but with Deadly skill’s 💯
I could listen to this kid all day. He’s so happy kmao
Smart, fan of his opponent and his abilities, and very respectful. I salute you with honor!!
Thanks for the awesome video!!
Mikey is an amazing kid, such a good behaviour and incredible good vibes. Already legendary in my book, can't imagine what the future will bring for him.
The most human and humble fighter I have ever seen ❤️
No chest thumping at all, just a guy having fun in his sport. Gotta like that.
Youre a beast, it was really an amazing match and imanari smiled after that good grappling match.
This kid is so cool, I love him
IQ is off the charts. Puts so much work in as well. Also, a very nice guy for once. Amazing breakdown
Mikey, I’m always so proud of you brother 🙏🏻! See ya tomorrow broheem
This breakdown was sooo good. And I’ve been doing jiujitsu for years!!!
Musumeci, Routolo brothers, Mika Galvao, Baby Shark and the Miyaos and etc... they really changed the game... incredible this new generation ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡•••
agree but the Miyaos are not new gen, they're already retired from adult competition.
Humble dude. I love how he treats this like a full body chess game.
This is the most detailed explanation to a fight I've ever seen
I just wish this kid’s gonna be the best out there. Great personality!
"I've never been in the cage before." Wow! Great respect for this kid. Humble and eager and a greate grappler! Love his enthusiasm without the anger and disrespect that so many MMA fighters can't fight without. I especially admire him for the respect he shows his opponent who truly is a legend.
Humble young man god bless you 1000 years of success
Dang, I've some grappling through the years of watching MMA and I have never seen anyone take someones back like that, awesome!
Thanks for this video. So interesting to hear Mikey give his comments on his nice win, and about this fantastic match. And don't forget Imanari, so much respect to him for taking this match against someone from the new generation (or rather 2 or 3 generations newer; Imanari is 46 yo).
Jeez the whole match looks like he's totally in control and that Masakuzu is just volunteering how to show how well Mike's moves work. 😂
Man best breakdown I’ve ever heard really got a better understanding ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Honestly I LOVE watching people grapple and Mikey did a great job explaining what he did. Great insights given on the reasons how and what he did.
Extremely massive w from 2 legends
Damn as someone whove never tried BJJ, the explanation is so clear and understandable, blew my mind
Wow so much things really went on, im a amateur in bjj and knows stuff but the small details amazes me
I wish we as a planet celebrated this kind of sportsmanship primarily rather than the hype, bravado and ego trips across all sport types that is just given so much more airtime. And this guy is the real deal.
Polite, humble, and has depth of knowledge. Wonderful.
That's an amazing video, thank you for sharing, it is both entertaining and educational!
had to rewind to see him take his back. like magic
