Jimmy Cinnabon Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I mean it's kind of silly. They are totally different sports with completely different scoring systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to run his mouth again He should just shut his mouth and move on with his MMA career. Most people given power and money do not know how to handle it as demonstrated here.

Idaho Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I think this is a great move by Nickal for the sport. Some in the JJ community are making up excuses as to why the wrestlers had a good showing despite losing - even claiming that Nolf greased. IMO Nickal is just flipping the script to show that a top ranked JJ could not last in a wrestling match like the wrestlers lasted in grappling. I doubt anyone accepts the challenge- a WT level wrestler will tech them inside a minute. It will make them look really bad. If they don't accept they also look bad - especially putting up 10k. Good move whether you love or hate PSU IMO. Nolf's breakdown of the match and the greasing Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex1fly Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) Whining on social media must be part of his brand now. Pretty lame TBH, seems like he's lost the smart/humble/capable vibe that made him fun to follow in college. Edited August 19 by alex1fly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of the wrestling pushback came from both Downey's match as well as Kerkvliet's - Kerkvliet's opponent played guard the entire match and Kerkvliet looked lost and engaged, then disengaged every time he was put into jiu jitsu positions, and lost the decision despite being on top the whole time (because he never came close to passing and was in a number of legitimate submission attempts).

1032004 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 3 hours ago, Gus said: He seemed "butt-hurt" because Downey got hosed in his match not because his friends lost their matches. Agree his comments seemed mainly in reference to Downey. One because Downey won a match and two because apparently people thought he should have won the second as well. It couldn’t have been in reference to Nolf because his opponent didn’t do the lay on his back thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's home, starts getting anxious cause no ones paying attention to him, starts nonsense on social media. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

Husker_Du Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 you guys are all missing the most pertinent impetus to his tweet (which, is pretty mild, regardless) the jiu jitsu folks were trashing nolf and wrestling in general. TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He faced the top seed and made it through a few rounds. because they guy didn't pull guard. which means, he just didn't lay on his back (which is rare, and rarer yet against a wrestler). so some dorks were chirping that the 'great wrestler jason nolf couldn't even win with ruotolo standing'. a lot of people (including wrestling people) were crying about wrestlers defending wrestling. far fewer saw the genesis of the argument.
