So one of the best things about this Who's Number One thing is that I get to see you once a month.
Thank you.
I've been enjoying it, man. We've had some wonderful conversations and I figured,
why not get you in here and let's put one of these down on recording.
Thank you.
My pleasure. This idea, this concept is so fantastic to me to take elite grapplers
and pay them for matches and then stream it online and flow grappling is doing this
and they're very successful. A lot of Jiu Jitsu people are tuning into these things
and it's really become a hit.
A true key in the development of any sport is some kind of organization which
showcases it. For mixed martial arts it was the UFC and grappling always struggled
with the idea of showcasing the skills of the athletes.
There were local shows, when you and I started Jiu Jitsu, there were crazy local shows
where people were just informally coming and competing against each other.
But there was nothing that had any kind of overall vision or sustained program over time
and that I believe is what flow grappling is trying to do here.
They're trying to give something, a grappling version of what the UFC has done for mixed martial arts
