I think what B team did that made New wave look like the villains is they made a CZcams channel where everyone can see there personalities, while new wave stays in the dark and just looks more like a cult than regular people that everyone can relate to.
@@chaystafari3228 are they winning significantly more than everyone else? Or do they just have the best ever in Gordon who’s not competing anytime soon? Don’t get wrong, with Gordon, John, and Meregali New wave seems like the most winning team, but besides Meregali, who are all these active new wave members that are winning everything?
I really like Nicky Rod and the B-team's personalities a lot. It's impressive that they're so good at jiujitsu (Nicky Rod has only been training a couple of years btw) while still goofing around and having fun. Whereas Gordon and John Danaher are quite rigid, robotic, unhumorous people, but that honestly might be why they'll stay on top of the jiujitsu world for a long time. The way they strategize and systematize the game to even the most minute details is just on another level. They actually might be on the spectrum for real like Nicky said. I always love to see Craig and Nicky compete against Gordon. If anyone is gonna take the throne it will probably be one of them.
To be fair Danaher’s public persona and his personal one are very different. He’s a kiwi he has the same humor as Craig he just knows that he has to look a certain way in the public eye. Craig touched on it himself once
dont ask how i know 1. nicky rod/ryan wont be good enough to beat gordon before gordon retires because of "stomach issues" after the next adcc its a race 2.gordon is a cuck. 3. craig isnt competitive enough to beat gordon 4. john only cares about winning and will ignore anything not jiujitsu
They might be on the spectrum, but I love it because we get to see what unmitigated dedication to mastery looks like in the modern jiu jitsu era. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with it if that's their decision on how they want to live their lives: to single-mindedly focus on achieving all that they can in submission grappling. A near ascetic life dedicated to one purpose. Very monk-like if only Ryan didnt have such a toxic relationship with social media 😅
Every time they’re asked about the split they say “Oh we can’t tell you the real reason why we split but it’s awful” From all of the banter and beef they have, I’m sure they have some type of contract signed to never disclose the REAL reason
What’s even weirder, is they don’t really say “awful” it’s a lot of like “you wouldn’t believe it” which makes me think it’s something stupid that got really blown up and now they all agree to not spill the story because it’s gonna be a let down
def between him and nicky ryan stupid borther beef that gordon proably blew out of the water thats kinda what ive got from the whole thing cause all the guys said they chose nicky over gordon@@travisjones1481
I think its something personal between Nicky Ryan and Gordan. Possibly about something that came from the death of their father. Craig has said that its Nicky's choice on whether to say what happened or not and since its probably a family personal thing that's why nobody will talk about. Its only Nicky Ryan's place to speak on it.
The fact that Nicky rod and Nicky Ryan and everyone close to the situation WILL NOT divulge the true reasons for the split is really odd. Gotta be some serious shit. These people make part of their living doing podcast and just talking and still no one will come out with it.
I agree, but i feel like it's not 1 singular major event. The way he describes it, it seems like it's just general disagreement on personalities, and it's exacerbated because both are at the top of the food chain. It's like Kobe Shaq. Both are great, and both's competitiveness made their differences amplified
John Danaher mentioned in an interview that it was something between family that drove the split. Probably deep seated childhood shit between Nicky and Gordon.
Gordon's talent is next-level, almost like he's got that savant touch when it comes to jiu-jitsu (he's clearly on the spectrum). Yeah, and it's not just about the steroids - those are pretty standard in the top-tier circles. All these jacked guys with their peak skills are just part of the scene, but then there's Gordon. He's not just playing the game; he's rewriting the rules, with his spot on the spectrum giving him a unique edge most likely, and Danaher is any but on the spectrum
@@desistang8794 danaher is like those 7 year olds that know differential calculus. On a completely different level. That being said, it gets you absolutely nowhere with the lack of charisma he has. If no one wants to listen, it doesn't matter what you know.
Nicky's record is 26W-13L. He's lost half his matches. Those are facts. You would have to do mental gymnastics to convince yourself that he is even in top 5 of heavyweight grapplers. You can say many things about Gordon, but the facts are he wins. Same situation with Floyd Mayweather and Jon Jones. People may not like them, but they consistently win. This is what people care about.
@Grassisgreenism it was an exaggeration, but yes. I stand corrected. Even if it was only a fourth, it's still too much losing. And he's losing to people he shouldn't, like Elder Cruz.
@@tinoslaponi8514 Agreed. Just couldn't help myself when a statement proved false by the the preceeding sentence was followed with "Those are facts." 😂
I like Nicky, I enjoy watching Gordon (even though he’s an asshole) and I don’t know anything that’s happened behind the scenes -but watching this video it definitely seems like Nicky is more bothered about the situation than Gordon lol
I really like the playful B Team vibe, but I don't like how they sit around and talk shit about the winner (Gordon). Love him or hate him, no one can be him, so show some respect.
I respect NR’s stance on juice, but if he’s this competitive with GR as a natural player, it sure would be nice to see nicky take some test and anavar and dethrone “the king”. Gordon is INSUFFERABLE
B Team has a great culture until it comes to being the top dog. How does a school with no main coach get through the same issues Nicky is speaking about, with regard to John's preference to one student over another? They are all competitors in the same circuits with the same or similar weights and desire to fight in open classes. What happens when J-Rod goes up against another B-Team for ADCC absolute? Does Nicky abstain from coaching? I feel like we will see Team crumble for the same political reasons we hear about happening within the DDS
Probably. Plus you have to realize that the same ego issues that caused the DDS split probably followed most of the B-Team guys. After all, who is the top dog among them?
@@IphigeniaAtAulisfrom their youtube channel it seems to me like Craig is....but maybe thats just for the cameras + him being Aussie and having that banter.....who knows how things play out behind the scenes
Happens at high schools and colleges for wrestling. Sometimes the best teams have 2 competitors in one weight division that are both good. It is well established, as Nicky said in the interview, that it gets handled on the mat. Either both compete and face off in the tournament potentially, or a face off happens before the tournament/match and the winner takes it. That is called honorable fighting, the opposite of pulling rank.
Just let it go. You’re not surpassing a healthy Gordon. Nicky needs to go the MMA route. He will be a REAL problem. He’s young and he’s got that mean streak. I think he could go all the way in MMA.
Danaher mentioned it was a family issue between Gordon and Nicky. Most likely it had something to do with their father who passed away unfortunately during that time. But I’m just a random internet dude who has no clue so don’t mind me.
Jiu Jitsu is such a great art, but unfortunately some get so emerged in it , silly beefs become part of it. Growth of the art is good, but theatrically nonsense can cause it to implode eventually.
IMO, The real reaspn was the weight. Because Gordon probably was butt hurt and Nicky wouldnt go down and aaid to pound sand so gordon probably walked around and had resentment like chicks do and make everyone around them miserible untill they get what they want or everyone just bounces. Thats what i think. Its all over because gordon and John couldnt have control
How many times Ryan brother stop talking with each other haha? On Lex Fridman podcast, Lex said that Nicky Ryan and Gordon start talking again and Gordon was saying good thing for Nicky and sh*t for other guys. It's start getting bored with this guy. Next year Gordon will beat them again.
After lots of podcasts, the only thing clear is that Nicky Ryan didn't want to stay with Gordon anymore. No reason given, just rumors. Some guys went with Nicky, others stayed with Gordon.
Dude you both are on the juice just stop we all seen both of you younger you don’t make your gains or gordans gains and Gordan is the hands down best no gi jiu jitsu grappler he should get to choose his weight class especially if the dude complaining is on juice too lmao ps: I like both guys and wish they just did drug testing
It's funny listening to people use juice as a excuse....... lolol... he could cut weight and still be sauced...lolol I do this to when I look for excuses to bro..
Mann, its just awesome this b-team mindset! if there were subtitles in portuguese. Im sure b team's and Nicky Rod's fan base would grow a lot. Really liked the concept, I can relate to it, just like all the other athlets that dont win all time 😂 lol
This is the fakest beef in any sport I've ever seen. Nicky Rod has been on like 20 different podcasts and always says that he's not going to say exactly why they split up. I think they split up because they can make more money competing against each other and having big ass rivalries than being on the same exact team. It's the same thing fighters do where they start off as friends and then end up enemies so they can get paid off of their beef. And if you actually pay attention to the excuse Nicky Rod gives it makes no sense. How is Gordon on so much gear that he can't cut weight? That doesn't make any sense. Another reason why I say this beef is fake. Cuz he's never really given a valid reason why they have beef. It's always something small and simple on why they have beef now lol
Hmmm “you have to be willing to trust your training partners” Nicky Ryan has been injured a lot. I wonder if Gordon purposely injured him at one point. Just speculation
If you close your eyes and just listen, it sounds like Bobby Lee is interviewing Nicky Rod. 😂😂
