To me Gi BJJ is tough to watch anyway, most matches at least (but some are great), but this is just brutal

And keep in mind, this is Vinny M, 2011 ADCC champion, against Buchecha who just did WORK at the Worlds. They're in 50/50 for a long ass time, so anybody can get stuck in one position for a while.
WAY more action in this one!!!!Quote:

If you find gi fights boring, target specific fighters who are consistently active. Watch Rafa Mendes, Ryan Hall, Marcelo, etc.
I agree with harry. It has nothing to do with the gi, put two leg lock specialists in there against each other, and most likely youre gonna get a match that isnt the most exciting. I love watching jiu jitsu with or without the gi, and sometimes its tough to keep my eyes open, sometimes i dont want to blink theres so much action.

Ya i have no prob with da GI, i just wasn't a fan of that match
Of course its a gi thing, the gi slows down the match and it is much easier to stall
I'm a Rafa fan and his no gi matches are much better to watch IMO than his gi matches, plus the no heel hook rule makes 50/50 unwatchable most of the time where guys can hang out and not fear the HH
