Dang, too bad Aoki didn’t have his tights. He probably could have rode Roger for a couple more minutes.
Wow, that was some technical Jiu-Jitsu!
Roger Gracie submitted ALL the big names in Brasil,like Marcelinho Garcia,Xande Ribeiro,Drysdale,etc.They say his BJJ is perfect.And all the respect to Aoki,he s very good/
very tactical fighting by both fighters but in the end roger resorted to his size and strength to win
Roger didn’t resort to his size and strength to win, he is all ’round a techical beast but also decievingly strong. Aoki is very good but Roger is very great
He isn’t ‘deceivingly strong.’ He’s just a fucking big guy.
They say when you grapple him he is impossible to hold down, and this comes from him growing up training with adults as a kid. He looks nothing like a Mark Kerr but he is damn strong.
straight ankle ftw
Well, maybe he is naturally much stronger than most, but still, he size and weight are an advantage.
I go to Roger’s dojo in London, the guy is a beast…in the year this video is taken from he made a clear sweep in both the open weight and 88-98 kg class submitting all his opponents! He has also fought in MMA and was set to fight again this month until his opponent backed down from the fight…supposedly due to injury.
its Amazing the technique these guys have glad to see such a great fight
rodger only won because of his size n strength,thats why he stood up the way he did shinya would have beaten him if they were the same weight
Sorry but he didn’t use strength there…
Aoki made the mistake, he was forcing a knee bar when RG was already defending it. And then Aoki placed his foot in the wrong place. RG didn’t force the foot lock, Aoki gave it to him.
RG is way more technical than Aoki (and I think Aoki is great)
