Great match. :)
Gr8 Match... Thnx for the Post Bro.. Was looking for it
Can't wait to see this one!!
Just An Unreal Match, I didn't get much of a chance to really watch it because I was helping Derek add commentary to the match at the time, but Man was this AMAZING!!!!
wow great match... these two should have been on the Metamoris. This match is more exciting than any of those Metamoris matches hands down.
I wanna see the breakdown and end point of that arm drag denny kept working for!
really nice match. denny threw up a great triangle and had a shot at a footlock. rader's passing is awesome.
Wow Rader was having mad problems trying to pass to side control. Plus he avoided Dennys Closed Guard like crazy! awesome match
Derek is it cool to share this? We'll throw it out on our social media. I wasn't sure if you had an "official" version you wanted to share or not.
^^^ Yes, yes, and yes. Rematch at metamoris 4! That was a great match, Denny looked sharp, but Justin is like the erosion of an ocean tide; pressure, pressure, pressure over a long period of time. The triangle transition early on was beautiful, looked like a deep heel hook attempt later on too, but Justin has great leg lock defense, that swamp walk shit, very legit. All in all, a very entertaining match. Ralek, this is what you want at your event, point everybody to this video and tell them this is how it should look like, seriously. 2 guys, there to fight, going at it for 11 mins straight at a furious pace. Great for the sport, great for 10th planet, mad respect to both men.
first off Denny , true 10 planet black belt all day homie.
and yes they both should be invited to Metamoris 4 ,
Justin is a beast , he has torch...all respect to both artists.
Awesome Denny truly Awesome....
Great match, I agree with Bruce, it was better than any of the matches on Metamoris.
How in the hell does Justin Rader cut to Lightweight for Jiu Jitsu tournaments? The dude looked huge!
Fuckn awesome match.
Rader cuts to feather not light
I think he's a dietician or something similar so he know how to do it right.
Ever since that Rader/Braga match from Ultimate Absolute I've been a fan of Rader. I'm not big on pressure fighters. I prefer finesse guys, but he has a strange combo of constant pressure with a touch of finesse that I like watching. I knew he was going to be a tough match for Denny and it sucked cuz even though I wanted them both to win, someone had to lose.
Denny fought a great fight open fight. Rader stuck to his plan. It really was a great chess match. I'd love to see a rematch.
Awesome match
Thanks for posting.
That's what jiu-jitsu matches should be
We need to blow up metamoris's fb! Get the rematch on M 3 would be sick, Eddie and Denny on the same card boss!
If they had a rematch and Denny asked you how to prepare for the match strategically, what would be your gameplan to beat this monster? :)
Not the official video lol we will have the official one up soon. That vid is just a version that folks found. It will be pulled down soon and the official one will be uploaded on the Midwest Submission Challenge youtube page.
Get there days before the tourney. In my experience, jetlag is a silent but deadly to the body.
Who am I to give advice to Denny and yourself, but as you asked, it seems like Denny was dealing with Rader's passing attempts alot better for like the first 6 or so minutes, then Rader got those couple of passes. From the outside looking in, looked like maybe Denny lost a bit of his gas around that time? I know Denny would have done everything cardio wise he could have done coming in, but to me that's what I noticed.
Of course just my humble opinion.
Hugely enjoyable and exciting match. Great to watch.
Up the Strength training and focus on an aggressive leg lock game
Great match. No one can say either of these guys are not legit. Seems Radar likes to be on top. His single leg might be the best out there. I'm guessing from the little film I've seen his top game is better than his guard. Putting him on his back would be a challenge though.
Rader's pressure passing is designed to crush guys with the best cardio, the constant weight and strain of escape make him use energy and it caused quicker fatigue, coupled with his explosiveness. Denny fought hard as hell. Rader looked at least in the 180's come time to fight and that's a lot to be crush on top of you. If they did have a rematch, I think Denny is crafty enough to catch him. It's hard to tell when you have two high level players that are just so talented.
I noticed the stack was a huge problem during the match. His posture and base is unreal. Honestly if Denny worked a lot of Spiderweb and roll Rader into that territory I could see it negating a lot of the power of his pressure passing. He is pretty explosive in the scramble so the time would have to be perfect for it. I agree and aggressive leg lock game would keep him on the defense. So couple the two together and I could see Denny winning.
Rafa Mendes would be the best choice to study. Rafa has submitted rader without the gi at ADCC '09 and '11, both inside of 2 minutes. He's also done the same twice in the gi. Every time Rafa pulls a DLR or RDLR and inverts through for the sweep. At ADCC 2011 he went straight on an omoplata but every other time was a DLR or RDLR.
Cobrinha has also had a lot of success twice without the gi with the RDLR/Spiral. The 2011 No Gi Worlds is a good example. He just stayed on the RDLR inverting through trying to sweep or get the back and eventually near the end he got on top. Relentless open guard and breaking his base seems to be the only way to get on top of him unless you can take him down, which is arguably harder.
Definitely watch his matches against Rafa at the 2009 and 2011 ADCC and the NoGi Worlds 2011 and 2012 matches with Cobrinha. I'll post the ones that are out there.
I wish I could post the ADCC 2011 match because I think that was the most impressive. Omoplata to the belly down armbar/spiderweb to the back to the RNC. It's nowhere to be found on youtube tho
Cobrinha passed his guard easily but Radar's bridge could lift a truck.
he almost finished Cobrinha and leo Vieira with the same one. here it is being taught
