Now, there's a complicating factor here.

Nicky Rod was a wrestler before he was a jiu-jitsu player.

On paper, the way his route to win is via wrestling.

He's not going to be able to submit Gordon Ryan, and he's not going to be able to pass his guard.

So he has to win by wrestling.

In the ADCC finals, you cannot sit to guard.

So the approach that Gordon used earlier that we saw on video cannot be used in the finals.

Gordon must wrestle his opponent.

So on the way out, Gordon and I were talking, and we'd had discussions, obviously, during the camp, what's the appropriate thing to do here.

And there had been some

matches earlier in the event where it was becoming obvious that stalling was being heavily punished by referees.

So I said to Gordon on the way out, just give him your leg.

let him take you down because in the first 10 minutes of the finals, takedowns don't score anything.

There are no means of scoring the first 10 minutes, but you can't sit to guard.

That will award you a negative point.

So I said, just let Nicky Rod take you down.

And he's like, Nicky Rod's not going to take the bait.

And I said, if he doesn't, I'll call him for stalling.

So if we see the start of the match, you see Gordon comes out and offers a leg.

Now, it's not that Nicky Rod is smart.
