Grappling Rewind: Breakdowns of Professional BJJ and Grappling Events

This week on the show Maine and Rob discuss WNO Craig Jones Vs Pedro Marinho and preview F2W 192.
In the news section of the show we discussed some of the upcoming events including ADCC South American Trials.
In the recap section of the show we broke down the WNO Pedro Marinho defeating Craig Jones by decision, we discussed the game plan of Craig not pulling then pulling late and Pedro using the opportunity to pass.
In Tye Ruotolo submission victory over Levi Jones-Leary we see a return of the leg pin passing and Tye using it a ton in the match. We discuss Tye doing a great job outstepping and countering off of the bolo. We also talk about the entry that led to the finish.
In Elder “El Monstro” Cruz vs Nick Rodriguez we discuss the wrestling match and close split decision for Cruz here, and how we would like to see some rules of WNO changed.
In Mikey Musumeci's decision win over Estevan “The Giant Slayer '' Martinez we discussed Mikey shutting down the dynamism of Estavans game as he tried to jump over the guard. We discussed the leg exchanges and the great back control defense from Estevan. As well as the counter kneebar attempts.
In the Jacob “The Hillbilly Hammer” Couch vs David Garmo match we discuss some of the stand up in the match and the great measured sequence from Couch off of the knee cut pass that let him enter into the false reap and get the heel hook win. We also discussed the nice overhook guard work from Couch.
In Brianna Ste-Marie decision victory over Amanda “Tubby” Alequin we discuss the start of the match and Tubby’s arm drag and Brianna John Wayne counter. We discuss possible changes to the women's meta due to how hard it is to pass the guard with the flexibility at the lower weight classes.
We also discussed the prelim matches including Jessica Crane heel hook submission win over Alexa Yanes after a few minutes of reverse mount and inverted guard. We discussed Michael Pixley decision win over Cameron Reed, and Geno Morelli decision over Kemoy Anderson.
We also briefly previewed FIght to Win 192.
