Posted May 22, 20232 yr comment_6004743 Really enjoyable 9-minute romp with two masters of the mat. Yano's a weird one but Navarro just kicks ass, dude just doesn't care about any of his usual tricks and focuses purely on eating shots and grabbing on slick submissions; Yano would have all of these elaborate transitions to control things while Navarro would just get a simple counter to turn the tables before then completely outclassing him with more whenever needed. When Yano would actually get something on proper Navarro would just compliment the guy and/or give him a thumbs up while in the hold lol. It was definitely the definition of a grapplefuck: nearly all of this takes place on the mat with next to no strikes: but between Navarro's charismatic approach to that kind of work alongside Yano playing his role as the younger act trying to prove himself to perfection, that kind of thing isn't a detriment here. In fact, I'd say it's a positive with these two given how well everything just clicks. If you want a million ways of seeing someone get tied in knots, this is basically the greatest match ever. Otherwise it's still pretty good, I'd say.
