Even the King of England respects the mats🙂! Love the slippers. So great to see him visit Roger Gracie school. He could not have picked a better representative of the art. Jiu jitsu and MMA have come so far since I started in terms of recognition and respect. Presidents and Kings recognise the value of our arts and sports.
The arm position made the difference. To finish a triangle when opponent goes chest down to the mat is possible but very difficult. This is why Topuria chose to abandon the triangle and go to a rolling arm lock. Nurmagomedov had an armpit armlock grip that prevented Gaethje from rolling chest down. It so amazing to watch these great fighters battle at such a high level where small details and judgements make a difference!
This video of Topuria and Khabib both with a mounted triangle on Gaethje shows why details matter at the highest levels of combat sports. Topuria would have finished this on most people. But, because his right arm went over his opponent’s left arm it allowed Gaethje to turn. He could have pummeled under the arm and got the same position as Khabib. This would have put an immediate strong threat on the arm and and not allowed Gaethje to turn away. Topuria’s was hurt and still had technical follow-ups, but this is why drilling/training certain details until they are done without thinking is critical at this level. Such a priveledge and joy to watch this level of fighting/ grappling!
