Sambo v. BJJ Settled??? | Thread profile

Awesome vid on youtube. Apparently there was a competition between a sambo school and a BJJ school. On the feet the sambo guys are tossing the BJJ guys around for the most part. But on the ground the BJJ guys catch pretty much all the sambo guys in subs. In the end a former Freestyle Sambo world champ tosses around a no name bjj black belt, but then the BJJ guy subs him with a triangle. Great vid if you haven't seen it. Link: YouTube -...

The BJJ guys did not dominate the event just like that, seems like someone only show when the BJJ guys won, it didn't show the bjj guy getting choke, or the bjj guy getting ankle lock. The event was Sambo vs BJJ the score was 5 (Sambo) -7 (Bjj) Bjj won by 2 points. Here is what really happen...

The best Sambo practitioner in the world, and in MMA went up against the best BJJ practitioner in the HW division twice and dominated each time, on the ground no less, in Nog's world. Not quite the same as "one guy beating one guy". A bit more detailed.

When you train to fight a striker for a month and half chances are a stud BJJer like Werdum will make you look bad on the ground. Thats not a good example. I read your posts, you seem like you love the way Dana's balls...

The video has been edited to no show the sambo guys who have won. This is a ridiculous attempt by bjj supremacist.
