This match starts with something unexpected.

Before we even begin, George and I compare hand sizes… and honestly, I still can’t decide if my hands are huge or if his are just ridiculously small. Haha.

After that, things get serious.

George has complete freedom during the match — any grips, any escapes, any attacks, any transitions.

I limit myself to only two tools:

hand over mouth
and rear naked ****.
Only verbal taps I accept

That’s all I’m allowed (and supposed :-))to use.

What makes this challenge interesting is how quickly the pressure changes once control is established. George keeps moving, scrambling, trying to create reactions and angles. I stay patient and wait for the moments where precision matters more than variety.

And once I start taking space away from him, those two techniques become a very real problem.

The match turns into a constant battle between freedom and focus. He has endless options.

I only need one opening.

You’ll also hear the hilarious live commentary from an amazing sweet Dutch fighter behind the camera — and honestly, her reactions make the entire video even better. Sometimes she’s laughing, sometimes shocked, sometimes cheering… and it gives the whole match a completely different energy.

A lot of strange positions, tight scrambles, pressure, and a very fun atmosphere all the way through.

This one was seriously fun to film.
