That’s why MMA is so great, there are all these different arts, so many that a lot of us don’t even know they exist, yet a guy like Figgy can use it and prove it’s effectiveness at a very high level!
i dont know about this so many thing lolol aside from the senegal wrestler guy and fig, most of the many arts you dont hear about are just as useless as the ones we know about ....tkd, kung fu any TMA etc. I hear you though, the cultural aspects are great. but again. capoiera and doing much in the cage lol. hopefully someone will get one or two techniques from it done in the cage
@@lowlowseesee yeah, good points. My statement may have came across a little off. All I meant is what you eluded too at the end, a technique or two transitioning. Like TKD being a good way for youth to develop proper kicking technique, or in this video, a different version of wrestling that if practiced as a youth develops a great scrabble game. It’s just fun for me to see little elements translate (as opposed to the whole style).
@@lowlowseesee you just gotta use the Bruce Lee philosophy and only take the good effective techniques from each style while discarding the bullshit ones that won't work...and a lot of it depends on the fighter utilizing it properly at the right time. but yeah unfortunately a lot of people don't have that mindset and stick to one or two styles and end up being easily predictable.
Indeed
Yan vs Figueiredo is a fight I need to see. Both give off warlord vibes
They give of same vibes rory macdonald and robbie lawler did to me
I agree; however, I'm also super hyped for Figuieredo/Moreno II and III. I feel like the rematch will be great like the first, and hopefully we'll see a rubber match. I know I'm assuming a lot here and I NEVER make predictions, but...well, you know what I mean.
Deiveison wins by tko
@@Beowulf45 Moreno is an exceptionally good and durable fighter; but he is a bit undersized to really be able to physically overwhelm Figuieredo. (When 2 fighters are elite, the bigger & stronger guy has the natural edge.) I think it'd take Yan, at 145, to be competitive against Fig, who is a bit too strong & a bit too big for most current guys at 135.
@@kiabtoomlauj6249 Sadly true. I wish they implemented more measures to prevent weight cutting. I'd like to see Fig and Yan (and everyone) at their more natural weight classes.
The real main event..
Assassin baby will come out on top 🇲🇽
Crazy how last time people were saying Charlie vs Tony was real main event and now it’s backwards
I can’t wait for this, man I hope Moreno take is to Mexico though!
For you perhaps
True
Everyone said the rematch to watch was Masvidal vs Usman or Izzy vs Vettori when it’s this rematch that real fan’s really want.
facts. crazy fight these two
None wanted to see Masvidal vs Usman and Vettori is not the real middleweight contender
I don't think a lot of people said that either of those were the rematches to watch lol
Clown
Brazil is so big and so diverse, I'm from brazil and never heard about it before.
Já tivemos mais 2 caras do ufc que eram da luta marajoara, mas os caras não se destacaram muito.
kzhead.info/sun/aNOdobSBmWV7iqc/bejne.html
@Matheus Marques Quem eram eles?
Legit freak athlete. This dude is amazing.
He's like Yoel Romero of the division except Figueiredo is young and still in his prime so he doesn't gas out.
So proud his native roots ✊🏾🙌🏾
This answers a lot of my questions. Deiveson Figueiredo is a special fighter.
How many fighting styles we have here in Brazil? Amazing
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
21
Urucan, huka huka, luta livre esportiva, etc
I cant wait for this rematch....
I'd love to see figgy fight at bantamweight
Figgy vs Yan would be legendary
He'd definitely fit among the elite, and is way more well rounded than a lot of top bantamweights. But he probably won't be the volcano of a fighter he is at 125. He'll lose his size and massive power advantage, and have to deal with guys with way heavier hands than most if not all 125er's.
@White Amerikkka’s Worst nightmare There's such a big size difference, Sean would have a big advantage in the striking and could starch Figgy with an insane reach by BW standards. That being said, there's a big difference in their grappling ability, and figgy could do something similar to what DC did to Gustafson.

@White Amerikkka’s Worst nightmare Sean O Malley would get his skinny ass beat. Guarantee Figueredo could knock him out with ease or submit him with in the first or second round.
*"Has Figgy been convicted yet for the murder of Joseph Benavidez?"* - Megan Olivi
am i ben shapiro?- megan olivi
Wait isn't Olivi dating figgy?
@@in33d2floss7 you’re right, she does remind me of him
Of*
@@almightysosa2736 Thanks bro
Orgulho desse cara mano!!!!!!!!!!
Note to myself,not begin a fight with a dude from Marajoara
Marajoara is the name of the fighting style, that came from "agarrada"(grappling) and Marajó(the name of the island).
@@gzzuss thanks for the clarification, I thought it sounded strange when i first wrote it tho ahah
from Marajó*
@Thiago Axe I assume they also have that country strength
Imagine if the second fight ends up like the first one, lol. I can't wait for this fight.
Third time's the charm right?
Figueiredo won that fight. judges and commentary were extremely biased.
@@skurt3637 yeah for sure
www.youtubesz.com/watch?v=AELIRemtlqf
@@one4all885 I think moreno won round 3 and 4
Man this guy gives final boss vibes every fight
DF is real exciting fighter, never a dull moment.
Land of Warriors
*Thanks for this video. I wish the UFC would delve into more Martial Arts that aren’t mainstream.*
Marajoara sounds like American folkstyle wrestling. It has similar concepts but the Brazilian sport seems to have less rules as the sport I grew up doing. Very interesting to me. 👍🏼
Luta Marajoara techquinis: kzhead.info/sun/aNOdobSBmWV7iqc/bejne.html
This guy will be back stronger and wiser than ever before
That become true really he is back now
For those who dont know "Deus da guerra " means God of war. Its a reference to the Santa Monica/Sony game, which he is obviously a fan of.
Just realized jacare means alligator so therefore that's the reason for jacare Souzas alligator impression.
How are you just now realizing that...?!
Cool. Learning about the history and tradition of Marajoara makes me happy. Also, a stunningly beautiful place, by all appearances - thanks for this.
This is really cool. Thanks for the education
The Luta Marajoara (Marajoara Fight) is a martial art similar to Wrestling, created by the Amazonian Native Americans, the Aruã and is over a thousand years old. The techniques of Luta Marajoara are takedowns, throws and throws. The objective is to throw the opponent on his back on the ground and immobilize him The Fighter Marajoara ,Imperial that is in the video teaches some techniques here: kzhead.info/sun/aNOdobSBmWV7iqc/bejne.html
I thought he was going to say "Este samba Que é misto de Marajoara, Nada Mais"
Just don't put DC and Rogan as commentators for the rematch please.
DC is fine But rogan was screaming "MORENOOOO" every time he moved
@@thewretch4081 he always hypes the underdogs
All the homies love Figgy
Figgy is probably one of the most interesting fighters in the world?
Yeah
Bora Deus da Guerra, pra cima deles 🔥🔥
Floresta Amazônica.
Bro this fight with a crowd is going to be INSANE
this was really well done
nice look into his background. keep content like this coming!
1:35 in Portuguese "agarrar" means - to grab.
great show!!!
I knew it. He is a BIG fan of God of War
Lol wtf, it's super obvious hahahaha
I’m more excited for Moreno Figueredo than Izzy vetorri. Although both are going to be amazing.
Respect
Grande campeão na vida e no esporte!
This is really dope to learn about not that popular martial arts in MMA. I hope they do something with Sanda and Kung Fu for Muslim and Weili
Havent been an MMA-fan for so long. Only since spring 2020 but seen every event from gaethje vs ferguson. I feel like this is the best match ive seen live the figgy vs moreno 1 is for me a classic. sorry for being new to the game to all old fans, u guys seem to not like us new fans.
There's always place to new fans, man. The only annoyng fans are the ones that talk nonsense and firmly believe they're being coherent. Mma is one of the most complex sports in the world. Anyone can watch a fight and get enterteined, but realizing how many pieces are involved in a simple ground exchange, for example, is a whole different thing.
Fuck the gatekeepers bro. Enjoy MMA however you wish. Dont let others define what you find enjoyable.
Oh shit this was quite the learning experience
Muito fera deiverso
Lests go Brazil !!!
🙏🏾✌🏾🐜Marajoara🙏🏾✌🏾🐜
2:25 interesting due the fact that exactly what he did in the moreno fight
Where's UFC 263 countdown? IM WAITING FOR ITTTTTT!!!!
Tomorrow
@@csosev I’m pumped for it
Where is the vlog and the countdown guys? I'm waiting on the edge of my seat!
First to see the legends at work
I Love Figueiredo !!
Que judô que é luta marajoara
The videos of Figueiredo without his manager/translator is completely opposite to Figueiredo trash talking. It really shows that the manager/translator guy is the real prick here. He's did the same thing with Costa before his fight with Izzy. This is a bad portrayal of MMA and completely disrespects the art of MMA.
Wallid is a meme in brazilian mma, he's crazy and funny
Wallid Ismail can talk all the trash that he wants. The man is a legend both in bjj and vale tudo (mma). And at the end of the day, trash talking sells. That's something very well known for north americans. If the fighter doesn't speak english but wants to enhance the number of people watching his fights, let the manager talk some trash (there's managers and managers though, if the dude can't back it up what he's saying it's one thing, but that's not the case with Wallid). And the trash talk made by Costa didn't really had Wallid's participation.
@@matheusmarques7009 I don't understand why Wallis is teaching all the sweat words to Figueiredo. Figueiredo's fight with Moreno was amazing. He doesn't need to talk in unnecessary ways to gather fans. Respect comes first.
@@govinds3997 Unfortunaly things are not like this. They should be, but they're not. Money comes before than respect. And that's what trash talking usually means: money.
@@matheusmarques7009 Sad but true. 👍
Former Champion will be back 🏆🔥💥
feels like an embedded vlog but really isn’t
It's part of it
Marajora fighting is basically wrestling
Wrestling created of Aruã people, is more than 1000 years old, in Amazonia Rain Florest
Can we get any insight on his clen diet for weight cuts?
Sushi.
@@johnny614 WTFFFFFFF
@Bee Middleton ???
👊👊
All this talk of "Marajoara" on a saturday is making me crave a big ol' fat spliff...
2:50 - The smile from Imperial during this sequence, looks like he's having fun 😎
I'm early to the party!
Dam his brothers looks more like his twin
No cap i thought it said marijuana😂
Figueiredo 5th Round Sub
Khabib: he is marajoara guy
Wow I'm Brazilian and never heard of it. My country is huge
Um vídeo com mais técnicas: kzhead.info/sun/aNOdobSBmWV7iqc/bejne.html
If Brandon doesn't beat him I think he might retire with the belt, dudes game is complete
so basically The dagestan of Brazil
Someone take Kevin Holland to that Island
my boys afro brazilian?
Champion Deiveson Figueiredo The God Of War
He's gonna be a problem at Bantam as those weight cuts get harder and force him up there
Figueiredo 👹
Hahaha yes 🙂
early gang
I also like to partake in the Marijuana culture Oh wait Sorry my bad
Didnt know the fench grab was a marajoara technique
Technique of Luta Marajoara: kzhead.info/sun/aNOdobSBmWV7iqc/bejne.html
He said no eye pokes haha come on that's what you did with Moreno and not to mention the kick on the balls
Gottta root for the underdog Moreno, unless I decide to bet on this
lol yeah the guy was in the hospital literally the day of the first fight, I don't see him losing this time but Im a fan of both..
Im also part of the Marijuana culture! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marajoara_culture
Marajora is called Kushti in india.
The Kushti not is Luta Marajoara, the Luta Marajoara (Marajoanian Fight) does have south american begins with natives, the Aruã people... In portuguese: Uma não influência a outra, mas são similares por serem Wrestling

"Deiveson Figueiredo's Roots in Marajoara Culture" That explains why he is always high
so...wrestling ?
Brandon gonna pull off a Thug 🌹
Low blows? Dude played dirty when he's on his back.
First
like 100th comment
9th* lmao
Hey God loves you! We have all sinned against God, but God in His love made a way for us to escape His wrath on our sin and that is through Jesus Christ. He came in the Flesh born of a Virgin, lived a perfect life, being tempted In every way as we are but never sinned, then willingly was beaten and crucified at the hands of ungodly men for the punishment for our sin so that we could by His blood be forgiven and He rose again 3 days later to justify those who put there trust in Him and He is now sitting at the right hand of God as our High Priest and He is coming back soon! I encourage you if you dont know Him to repent (change the way you think) and put your faith in Jesus. It's by His grace, through faith in His name that we are saved! His Holy Spirit will come and make His home in you and give you a new heart and rebirth your spirit. Look to Jesus!
Moreno has a good chance to beat him.
"MARAJOARA" it legit normal wrestling lol nothing special
A Luta Marajoara não veio do Wrestling, e sim dos povos nativos Aruã
🇲🇽🇲🇽Brandon you don't represent all Mexicans GooF
And you dont like him why?
Por que? Why?
Jajajajaj Figueiredo is the best !!
Moreno will win and become new champio mark my words without doubt🔥
So it’s basically just wrestling?? 🤣
Brazil the only place you can be white and still be latin bc you speak spanish
