Some Random NoGi Matches to Peruse

Had some time to peruse some NoGi matches on youtube, and brush off my spectacles of preference for my current grappling projects on the mat and personal development to avail myself to what's going on out there. Trends develop over time and ebb and flow and it's important to resist the file-drawer effect or tunnel vision et cetera.

Came across Vieira thanks to the BJJ Scout breakdown of his crucifix position, and he applies it here from a couple places not unheard of but definitely his ability to get there is varied, leading to what Terra contests is an RNC finish from standing/the back.



Miyao hammers at Mantovani's guard for the better part of 5 minutes to eventually get a near back take and lose the position but then utilizes a reverse arm drag to get a sweep with 20 seconds left and score. Miyao also nearly hits a pass I first saw Leo Vieira (not saying it's specific to him, but first time I specifically recall seeing it was in that match) throw at Rafa in their ADCC match (which Rafa later won by submission).





Eldar scores a takedown from a scramble with a whizzer/uchimata then stays on top. Jonnatas forces a scramble from a leg lock entry but avoids the chain takedowns of Jonnatas to get by on 2 points.
