Tye Ruotolo vs Nicholas Meregali - 2022 ADCC World Championships

Looks like touch butt. I have Middle school wrestlers that would bless double through both of these guys.

Tye won this foh no contest

Tye a beast…even smaller he could outpace meregalli. Crazy explosivness and trickies to

We clearly know who the commentators favored, Ruotolo could of just sat there and not done anything and these guys would of gased him up.

I love Jiu Jitsu, but as someone who can wrestle I don’t like how these matches begin.
No outside shot fakes/level changes or the grip fighting and especially counters still need growth.

Quem foi Meregali

About tired of the no-fight fights. Absurd.

Announcers are about to bust every time Ruotolo moves.

Brasiiiiiiiiillllllll👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 pra mim esse Nicholas maragalli é melhor que o mica no wrestling..virei fã... tranquilo....técnico... sinceramente quando começou a luta achei que fosse um italiano...😅 Quando vi a bandeira do Brasil.... fiquei feliz'síssimo , esses rotuoulos são muito MARRENTOS..adorei

tye had no chance

There is no way Meregalli won that fight

Robbed

The best thing about the video is clearly seeing that the narrator is rooting for the American, but is constantly frustrated when Menegalli lands takedowns or goes for Tye's back. hahahahaha

I am happy. Get used to it, you are not the center of the world.

Lutinha mais ou menos !!! Doido pra ver o Mica amassar os dois e o cabeludo tb !!!!!😬😬😬😅

I think sub attempts should score higher on the judges cards to be fair, tye was never really in danger in this match, but that darce could easily have hit

Meragali had nothing in the tank at the end of that one. Couldn’t even lift his arm

Meregali going life and death with a guy 20 kg lighter than him...

just a draw, you can say either side won

Quick reminder: Meregali had never competed in no gi until roughly 7 months before this fight. Bonkers. Danaher stated that in an interview. He says Meregali met him on early 2022 and said he wanted to be the champion both at the ADCC and BJJ World Championship. Danaher then told him “Sure, let’s work things out for you to compete at high level at the ADCC from 2024 onward.” To what Meregali replied: “Nope, we are going to fight for both titles this year.” (2022)
Danaher told he was absolutely impressed by Meregali’s mindset and work-ethic.

“ Action packed “ they say. Love it when the kids these day say the Gi is dead cause it’s so boring : then in the same breath point to matches consisting of 20 mins of non-stop neck slapping and hard disengaging .

Still pretty decent match - if you are able to scroll past the long stretches of neck slapping.

Stolen, most dangerous attempt was clearly the Darce . Bullshit result

Tye should of got it just for goin the clock without getting scored on by one of the best in the world
That should be the rule ,if a veteran catches hell from a challenger they should get the fight

I don't know how you watch this and don't see the immediate problem? Jiujitsu guys have no game on the feet. Not only cant they get and keep each other down, but they are lumbering around like fucking Frankenstein leaving everything open all the time. The takedown opportunities are all over the place, but they have terrible wrestling fundamentals so they can't see them. At one point the announcer says "meregali is difficult to approach he is always reaching..." That is not good. That is exactly an opening that anyone with good wrestling can use. The state of takedowns in jiujitsu is disgraceful.

tye vs felipe pena no la encuentro

Paga maior sapo..e quase perdeu pra um cara com metade do seu peso kkkkkk imagina oq o Pena vai fazer com ele kkkk

The most underrated match of the entire tournament. David vs Goliath I love Tye he always fights-up in competition. Tye is the man to beat Gordon Ryan. Promise.

nao finalizou ele nao finaliza mica

he beat Routolo on points when mica submitted he even said he massacred mica😂😂😂😂

Luta sem vergonha, horrível

I'm the only one that thinks the rash guard should be required for all grappling competition matches?

Que coisa horivel de se ve

Tye fought so much harder in the Absolute than he did in his own weight div, where he really looked lackluster. Wonder what the deal was with that?

No one can convince me the didn’t win this

A natty who had to eat cheeseburgers to fight up cuz he lost a coin flip with his twin for their weight class versus a gassed up giant

Como que meregali ganhou essa luta nao entendi nada.

O motivo de ta fugindo do Mica. Passou mal contra o TR 😂😂

I feel like Tye won that , had a better chance against yuri stylistically.

Tye gave Meregali problems man

Pegou um oponente à altura, e estava visivelmente mais forte e mais alto. Mesmo assim não conseguiu parecer fácil 😂 ainda diz q bate com facilidade do mica

Meregali might be a strange dude but his Jiu jitsu has improved so much since this match.

Meregali probably thought Tye was really mature and intelligent for his age.

Great fight, truly enjoyed this one 🙌🏽

que espetáculo

meregali is terrible in no gi...zero jiu jitsu skills but hes got some wrestling base

pixley got him with the same exact move

Freaking stalling blue

Rules are ridiculous call me if you want them fixed... I could put BJJ on the map

Was this the best match of 2022? Let us know below
