Relson Gracie Shows an Amazing “Reading Newspaper” Armbar

There’s a huge chance you’ve never seen this one.

Once you start training Jiu-Jitsu, the armbar is probably the first submission you’ll learn. You’ll learn just a basic variation for the most part, but actually, there are a lot of them.

In the video below, Jiu-Jitsu red Belt and Helio Gracie’s son, Relson Gracie, teaches the “Reading Newspaper” armbar variation and it’s a very good one for isolating your opponent’s arm.

Special emphasis is placed on wrist control with both hands to keep your opponent’s arm isolated as much as possible. Once your opponent figures out what’s going on it will be hard for him to pull his hand out, and that’s the main focus of this armbar.

Armbar variations like this “reading newspaper” are usually pretty fast submissions without your opponents seeing them coming because your legs are not used to control your opponent’s body and posture, but only to isolate your opponent’s arm.

It’s definitely worth a try.

Khamzat Chimaev Reveals How Much He Needs To Train To Get Brown Belt in BJJ

Khamzat Chimaev has revealed how long it will take him to gain a higher belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The Brown Belt in his case.

Chimaev claimed a unanimous decision victory over Gilbert Burns at UFC 273 on Sunday, one of the best fights of the year. It was the first time ‘Borz’ was truly challenged in his UFC career, having had to recover from a tough second round.

After the battle, Swedish Chimaev was promoted to purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu by his trainer Alan “Finfou” Nascimento. The BJJ veteran had challenged Chimaev to become the first person to submit Gilbert Burns in MMA. While he didn’t win ‘Durinho,’ Chimaev’s coach was clearly inspired by the bout.

Chimaev uploaded a photo with his new belt on Instagram and announced how long it will take him to attain a brown belt:

“Thank you, coach. Now I have to work for 5 more years to get my next belt.”

The purple belt in BJJ is considered a transitional ranking in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Based on several BJJ ranking systems, athletes must usually spend at least 18 months to two years as a purple belt before becoming eligible for a brown belt.

Dana White Awarded Burns With a Bonus For Winning Despite the Loss. Explains Why!

Dana White’s stance on paying fighters appears to have softened.

Burns lost to a unanimous judge’s decision after three rounds of war with Chimaev. Burns was nevertheless beaten by a unanimous jury decision following three rounds of warfare against Chimaev. No one has anything to be ashamed of, as they have undoubtedly left the entire arena in awe.

That wasn’t a loss for UFC president Dana White, who was so impressed with Durinho’s performance that he decided to properly reward him. Namely, despite the loss, Burns received a cut of the profits for the win.

”I’ll give Burns money for the win, too. The fight was truly amazing. In fact, it was one of the best fights I’ve ever seen. The whole hall was loud and the audience was crazy, and the fight overshadowed both the title and title fight, “said White.

Dana, as expected, praised Chimaev, but hand on heart, he didn’t forget about Burns either: ” Gilbert told me he was ready to die tonight. He received several bombs as well. ”

He has not forgotten his previous performances either: ”Burns has fought four times in two years. Mostly in an empty hall, “he added.

It is unclear whether Dana wants to reduce the stigma of a miser who does not pay fighters or if things are truly improving when it comes to salaries. Regardless, it will be beneficial to the athletes, regardless of why you do something.

Khamzat Chimaev shows emotions after UFC 273 and a fight against Gilbert Burns

Since his debut in the martial arts world, Khamzat Chimaev (11-0, 5-0 UFC) has done extremely well outside of the Octagon and at home. His self-promotion has long been a part of his identity, and it features “trash talk” and arrogance towards opponents.

“Borz” had the most difficult fight of his career on Saturday. He faced Gilbert Burns at UFC 273, defeating him by a unanimous decision of the referees after an evenly contested bout. After a press conference, he decided to clarify all of the bad comments that have followed him since day one.

“I’ve been the bad guy,” Chimaev said. “To everybody else, it looks like I don’t respect these characters. This is all a game; you’re attempting to play with his head and make mistakes. I learn something from every one of them.”

“I have nothing but respect for all of my opponents.”- Khamzat added

He admitted that it was because of his family that he had some difficulty fighting Burns: ” It was actually very difficult to fight him (Burns) because I saw his children. They came up to me and asked me if I was fighting with their dad. I don’t need that s***. ”

”I don’t want to fight some dad, I need a killer like me. I need someone who doesn’t care about that, “Chimaev concluded.

Recall, Khamzat Chimaev last night came to his eleventh career victory and fifth in the UFC, defeating Gilbert Burns by unanimous decision.

Also, Khamzat Chimaev explained why he wears a BJJ Purple belt around his neck.

In a recent interview, Khamzat Chimaev said that his BJJ instructor will promote him to Purple Belt if he manages to submit Gilbert Burns.

Obviously, Chimaev didn’t submit Burns but he took him down a couple of times and he wasn’t in any real danger. That was enough for his coach to award him a purple belt after the fight.

“The purple belt means a lot to me because of my coach that whom I work with for 5 years now. The guys I was fighting were black belts they could do something when I took them down but they didn’t. I’m happy I got the purple belt. It means a lot to me” – Chimaev explained why he’s wearing a purple belt around his neck at the post-fight press conference

Finland’s BJJ Federation Bans Russian Competitors From Their Tournaments

Finland’s BJJ Federation Bans Russian Competitors From Their Tournaments

Many Russian athletes have been banned from various sporting events as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. This is starting to spread to our sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

After Russia’s attack against Ukraine or so-called “special operation”, Finland’s relations with its eastern neighbor have been altered. The Finnish BJJ federation has banned Russian BJJ athletes from their tournaments.

The Finnish BJJ Federation, FBJJF, has decided to follow the IOC’s and Finnish Olympic Committee’s recommendations regarding Russian and Belarus athletes and officials participating in foreign sports events.

Finnish Olympic Committee:

“As a result of Russia’s hostilities against Ukraine, the Finnish Olympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee have published their own recommendations for sports communities in connection with international sporting events. In accordance with the recommendations of the Olympic Committees, the SBJJL Board of Directors has decided that Russian and Belarusian clubs as well as athletes from the above countries will not be able to participate in the 2022 Finnish Open (BJJ & NoGi & Senior NoGi) competitions.”

The Finnish Open competitions will be discontinued, as BJJ Russian and Belarusian athletes with permanent residency in Russia or Belarus won’t compete in the 2022 BJJ Finnish Open, NoGi Finnish Open, and Senior NoGi Finnish Open.

“This decision does not apply to clubs registered elsewhere or to athletes permanently residing outside Russia or Belarus (eg does not apply to athletes permanently residing in Finland and SBJJL member clubs).”

“Therefore academies from Russia and Belarus and Athletes with permanent residence in Russia or Belarus will no longer participate in the BJJ Finnish Open 2022, NoGi Finnish Open 2022 and Senior NoGi Finnish Open 2022 competitions. FBJJF’s Finnish Open 2022 competitions are welcoming all academies registered and Athletes having permanent Residency in other countries.”

“The International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation’s Finnish Open 2022 tournaments are open to all academies registered in Finland and foreign residents.”

Do you think this is fair to Russian athletes who in BJJ are representing themselves and their club, and not their country?

What a war! Khamzat Chimaev struggled a lot in the win against the great Gilbert Burns

The Chimaev-Burns bout, according to UFC president Dana White, generated the most buzz at the event, and these outstanding warriors certainly lived up to expectations. Fifteen minutes of superb fighting were seen in total, with Khamzat Chimaev receiving a unified decision (29-28 x3).

Gilbert Burns (20-5-0, 13-5 UFC) was a huge underdog heading into this bout, but he proved that the second-ranked contender should never be taken lightly. “Durinho” showed power, a full set of abilities, and threatened Chimaev more than any of his prior opponents in his career combined. Chimaev earned his 11th victory and remained undefeated in competitive bouts for the first time in his career.

Chimaev, on the other hand, has not avoided going to the ground floor. He immediately overreached Burns and began fights on the ground level. The fighters, however, quickly returned to their feet. Burns’ low kicks were accurate, but Chimaev outboxed him when it came to boxing combinations. Burns, who is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, won the bout in the first round. Burns scored well during the counterattack at one point. Chimaev briefly went to the ground after an exchange of blows, but he rose up immediately. Khamzat effectively hits the front straight with his right hand and sends Burns to the floor with a powerful punch just before the round’s end. The Chechen continued pounding him on the ground for another minute or so, but Burns kept fighting and eventually prevailed. After five minutes into the fight, Lutalo “Durinho” made his entrance.

Burns, on the other hand, began his second round with a series of front direct blows from Chimaev, and Burns at one time responded well to the right punch and somewhat shook him. Khamzat pressed forward, and Burns attempted to take down the single leg. The Brazilian was nowhere near it; instead, Chimaev easily neutralized that effort. However, the crowd quickly rose to their feet. Burns violently attacked his opponent and leaped on top of him with force. Khamzat countered by shaking Chimaev violently but mostly missed.

Burns fought against a popular opponent, demonstrating that Chimaev is not as untouchable as many had believed. Burns attempted to takedown Khamzat in the second half of the round with a double leg, but he again easily defended the attack. The fighters quickly returned to their feet, and Burns extended an offer for fresh confrontations with a grin on his face. In Jacksonville, we witnessed a fantastic bout.

At the end of the round, we witnessed an incredibly exciting few seconds. When Chimaev appeared to shake Burns, the Brazilian responded quickly and Chimaev was shaken once again. The Brazilian sent Khamzat to tol with strong right kicks, then almost sent an illegal kick, and Chimaev knocked him down with a double leg takedown. After the bout, it’s clear that Burns’ shot was a mistake.

Burns tried to attack in the third round, but Chimaev has a bigger wrestling advantage over Burns. Burns’ face was getting more bloodied in the third round as “Borz” performed better with the front direct. Khamzat did a good job with the front direct in the third round, and Burns’ face was becoming more bloody. After the conclusion of the second round, Michael Kruse’s partner “Borz” was more mature and cautious, yet Burns was likewise very active in this stage of combat.

Chechen, on the other hand, was progressing most of the time. Burns, on the other hand, would have excellent assaults from time to time in which he would strike with “overhand” and right crochets. It was an outstanding 15 minutes between two top welters.

Soon, Chimaev will make a significant improvement in the standings. He was 11th in the rankings of prospective opponents on the eve of the bout, and Dana White said he would face Colby Covington, who is first in the challenger ranking if he wins. Chimaev has won five times in UFC, but he turns out to be quite fragile as well.

Gilbert Burns has hit Chimaev over 100 times: Look at Khamzat’s face after the match

The talented Brazilian fighter put the much-favored Chimaev to the test.

One of the most remarkable things about Khamzat Chimaev after his first four UFC appearances was his high punch statistic. According to official UFC records, Khamzat has only been hit very hard once, and it was John Phillips in his UFC debut.

He proved himself to be a great underdog in his fights against McKee, Meerschaert, and Jingliang, where he was able to endure without being hit hard. Burns exceeded many people’s expectations by offering the most resistance yet.

In the first bout, Chimaev endured a “Durinho” match that was extremely difficult. After one significant strike in the opening encounter, Chimaev’s statistics changed dramatically. Burns struck 119 significant hits compared to Khamzat’s 108, for example. “Durinho” scored 141 goals and beat Chimaev by 124 shots overall (141-124).

In the second round alone, Burns delivered as many as 56 significant strikes, and 45 of them landed on Khamzat’s head (a total of 89 significant blows were received by Chimaev in the head). Burns demonstrated that Chimaev is not a machine indestructible. Darren Till provided some photos from the bout, including a “selfie” taken by Khamzat after the bout in the locker room.

Chimaev’s Instagram account also posted a fascinating image of his face, and it’s plain that he didn’t have an easy fight. Burns is in fact the second challenger in the welterweight class, and he proved it today.

Chimaev’s best quality is his ability to recover quickly from adversity, which has allowed him to bounce back and win some of his bouts. The “bad” news is that he’ll have to continue competing against the greatest fighters in the world (Usman and Covington).

(VIDEO)Alexey Oleinik Got the 60th Victory With a Submission in the first round, Conor's Successor Did Not Delight

Several interesting fights were seen in the preliminary part of the huge UFC 273 event.

Alexey Oleinik (60-16-1) has been anticipating victory since the fifth month of 2020. The legendary Russian heavyweight won over Fabricio Werdum and was on the verge of achieving his 60th MMA victory.

After suffering three losses (Derrick Lewis, Chris Daukaus, and Sergey Spivak), it appeared that the veteran had come to an end. Despite the losing streak, the promotion did not fire him, and Oleinik finally received his 60th victory.

45-year-old Oleinik pulled down “Scarf-hold” aka “Chest Choke” on Jared Vanderaa (12-8-0, 1-4 UFC). In his career, he amassed 47 victories by “submission.” Vanderaa was defeated by the same approach as Oleinik beat Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipović in 2013.

It was also the seventh “submission” win for Oleinik under the UFC’s supervision, and it came just one short of Frank Mir’s heavyweight record. When asked whether he planned to fight for another five or ten years after the bout, Oleinik responded that he was joking. However, Oleinik maintains that his career is not yet over, implying that we will continue to follow him.

Jared Vanderaa suffered his third consecutive defeat and fourth in his last four UFC fights. Justin Tafu is the lone American to beat him, while he lost to Spivak, Romanov, Arlovski, and Oleinik. It’s possible that this may be the end of his UFC career.

After his second UFC bout, Conor McGregor’s potential replacement, Ian Garry (9-0-0), maintained his undefeated record. The 24-year-old Irishman known as “The Future” made his UFC debut in November 2017. Now he’s back at the big show, where he knocked out Jordan Williams at a PPV event at Madison Square Garden. His fight against Darian Weeks (5-2-0, 0-2 UFC) wasn’t good, but it was enough to earn him a unanimous decision victory (29-28 , 30-27, 30-27).

The youngster was not pleased and has a long road ahead of him before facing the world’s best welters. Still, after the bout, Garry stated that he is not perfect but is on his way to becoming so. He recognizes his room for improvement, and with such a positive attitude, we believe there will be progress.

Mike Malott (8-1-1) proved to be an insuperable barrier, as Mickey Gall (7-5-0, 6-5 UFC) mentioned that he would definitely defeat Bruce Lee. In his UFC debut, the Canadian welterweight cruelly KO’d Mickey Gall in the first round.

The preliminary portion of the event featured seven fights. On Friday, March 24, the bout between Marcin Tybura and Jairzinho Rozenstruik was called off due to sickness. The entire results of the introductory portion of the fight can be found at the bottom of this page.

UFC 273 – preliminary part of the event:

Ian Garry def. Darian Weeks via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27 x2)

Anthony Hernandez def. Josh Fremd via unanimous decision (30-27 x2, 29-28)

Raquel Pennington def. Aspen Ladd via unanimous decision (29-28 x3)

Mike Malott def. Mickey Gall via KO – R1, 03:41

Aleksei Oleinik def. Jared Vanderaa via sub (scarf hold) – R1, 03:39

Piera Rodriguez def. Kay Hansen via unanimous decision (29-28 x3)

Black Belt Puts Himself in a Triangle Choke To Submit His Opponent – The King’s Gambit

Black Belt puts himself into a triangle just to take back and submit his opponent

A gambit is a chess term that means “sacrificing a piece.” A gambit is when you sacrifice a piece in order to gain an advantage over your opponent in terms of structure or position.” – Explains Wim Deputter, Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt

Check out the video from this event where he uses his favorite triangle choke counter.

Wim Deputter on his Triangle Counter Bait technique:

I always had a decent triangle choke defense. One of my favorite techniques in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition is to bait the triangle, wear down my opponent, and then gradually pass. Even if the pass itself fails, I may still wear down my opponent and utilize it as a triangle choke escape. This triangle choke pass is identical to the basic double-under pass in terms of technique.

In this encounter, I use my right hand to take the opposing collar and leave my left arm low on purpose, knowing full well that my opponent has the choice of going for the triangle. Note that my head does not fall (straight neck). When my opponent attempts the triangle, he gains a POSITIONAL ADVANTAGE. But I gain a STRUCTURAL advantage.

My opponent’s back and neck are practically folded in on themselves (broken posture) while my spine and neck remain straight (strong posture). It’s difficult (and unhealthy for your spine) to build strength when you have a broken posture. Despite having the triangle, my opponent is unable to generate power since to his position and thus unable to finish the choke

I force my opponent to support my weight, gradually grinding on him until he crumbles. The more he attempts to fight me off, the quicker he becomes tired. He must either pass the ball or turtle up and expose his back (the truck) until he has no choice but to give in. My opponent effectively bent my neck (pulled my head down). If I correct my posture by arching my arse up over my shoulders. My neck is straightened once again. This identical technique and other things are fully described in BJJ Fanatics Instructional “The Hidden and Fundamental Mechanics of Pressure Passing.”
