Denny Prokopos v Eddie Cummings - Gracie Nationals 2015

[Liquidrob]

Talking about how Cummings played seems ridiculous to me in a bjbjj match, he sat, he is giving up the top passing position, they're to grapple and sub each other, talking about takedowns is silly for this

Denny had many options, he could have sat also if he wanted

Look what happened at the end, Eddie swept, got the top and than immediately went for the leg and won by sub

That's bjj match, not "bjbjj", phone posting issue

The same can be said about standing up to though look at Nathan Orchards match in MI a few months back, Denny had the same freedom to sit first as well. Like it was said Denny obliviously felt ok attacking from top if there was gonna be any complaint of the match i would pick at the body triangle where he just kind of sat there to tire him out. I thought it was an excellent match also dont understand the gripe of sitting as long as your being aggressive with it. Even if you aren't then it should just leave you open for passes.

No kidding, That dude's notorious for getting up an advantage or a point and stalling you out. It's the wackest strategy

i don't know, I guess what I am trying to say is that I am tired of people complaining about other grapplers' styles. People bitch about everyone and everything. They bitch about Miyao bros pulling guard and trying to berimbolo everyone, every time. They bitch about Dean Lister going for leg locks only. They bitch about Jeff Glover's clowning. They bitch about Rafa Mendes trying to berimbolo Clark Gracie for 20 minutes. Shit, I read someone talking shit about Leonardo Lo, saying that he always does the same thing(takedown, pass, submit) and doesn't try anything else. Who are we to judge them? It is THEIR jiu jitsu. THEIR style. They are not doing for you or I. How about you stop worrying about what others do and concentrate on your own game? Guy pulls guard on you? Big fucking deal!!! Don't bitch about him not wanting to wrestle. Get good at passing. Or pull guard before he pulls it. Whatever. Don't like how game is played? Do not compete!!!!
Anyways, what do I know? I am just a blue belt and haven't competed in over a year. Maybe I am wrong or just talking out of my ass. Just my 2 cents.

You ever watch a fight and after the 3rd time you see something completely different? I'm really not sure what the hell I saw. At the beginning of the match Eddie rushed in and aggressively attacked the 2on1 then pulled. What I thought was not engaging was really Eddie just working what he could because Denny didn't stand pass and just kneeled so Eddie couldn't get under him. They both went for it. It was a good match. I'm eating crow and it tastes like chicken. Lil chewy tho.

Nobodies bitching. If you are tired of people's opinions and assessments steer clear of Internet forums. And it's ironic that you proceed to bitch for a full paragraph about how you hate bitching

Point fighter through and through.

Point fighter through and through.

That was when I went against him in the finals for the ibjjf. Got poked in the eye a few times, and lost my cool. He ankled picked me which was good on him, but i mean at least control the ground and do some jiu jitsu. I felt super bad for Orchard when he did the same shit to him.

Moral of the story, just pull guard and git'rdone

i saw it live, no complaints from me. everyone knew what eddie was after . Denny showed me the way Eddie got it. pretty tricky shit. gotta say, those dudes showed up , in the middle of a 80% 10P log jam,lol, super chill and respectful and both got the win. was a great day although I dont know about the rules there were so many draws that a 15 person bracket could mean you have only 1-2 matches for 1st

[ben jones]

saw dudes DOMINATE their matches but no sub. gotta be a middle ground for sub only and points
