How Roger Gracie Choked Out Buchecha in 2017
Roger Gracie and Marcus Buchecha Almeida step onto the mat for what's being called the Match of the Decade. This gi clash had the entire BJJ world watching. From the first exchange, Roger shuts down Buchecha's attacks with sharp stance work and grip control that never lets up.
Buchecha keeps hunting his sweep single, and it's his best weapon. But Roger's left hand on the collar reads every attempt before it lands. The grips are doing the heavy lifting here, and Roger's got them locked in the whole match.
Roger pulls guard, locks in his signature knee-in-the-middle position, and weathers Buchecha's counter roll. One grip switch. A hip movement. And suddenly he's on the back.
Both collars are in. Buchecha's right hand goes somewhere it shouldn't. Can he recover before Roger Gracie finishes the two-collar back choke? Or does this gi match end exactly the way it looks like it's about to?
