It’s a joke, that’s why it’s non existent in mma. It’s an even worse position for a real fight with no rules. All the people that love it have never been in a real fight.

I can’t think of two people in fight sports I find less interesting. Both on the spectrum, with Schaub being on the mongoloid spectrum.

I’m very excited for this. Do we need another gay ufc streaming service or is this on ESPN+?
Make that 3
Exactly.
This will be the equivalent of worlds strongest man or kickboxing at 3am on ESPN2 like back in the day.
Actually, maybe 1/100th as exciting except this time we have the Internet and people may know the names and stories of the competitors.

He’ll be fine as long as he stays in his lane. If he tries real fighting that nerd will get stomped the fuck out.

@WrestlingSucks wants to watch men grappling each other in their tights, worked into actual ufc cards.
maybe their own reality show, and call it The Ultimate Grappler. maybe have their own network too, called UFC Grapple Pass, and @WrestlingSucks can tune in and watch it with his dick out.
This!
I’m not some old fuck who lives in the past. I love BJJ and try to stay up to date with all innovations and love to still compete at the highest level, BUT this modern leg lock bullshit is beyond gay and has zero practicality. It’s 100x worse than the worst point fighting karate bullshit, at least in point fighting you might accidentally land a punch and knock them out.
No gi is for fighting. Period. Thats it. Not baseball sliding into eachother wearing spandex. Im not a hard guy, but there is no fucking way I tap in an mma fight for $1mil or “on the street” to any leg lock. Kneebar might ruin my life, but I’d eat it. In training or a bullshit competition? Sure. I’d tap just so I can play golf the next day.
Look at the types it attracts. No 30yr old straight, normal dude wants to wear rainbow spandex with a unicorn on it. It isn’t ironic or funny. It’s gay as fuck. Super dorks.!

I completely agree and it’s why I quit training and coaching. I have no interest in leg attacks and I have nothing in common with the new students. Just a bunch of fucking dorks that have zero interest in fighting and don’t even watch mma.

Unfortunately this is the exception rather than the rule, but this was an awesome match.
EPO is a helluva drug
Awesome

Mikey Musumeci had a lot of reasons to sign with the UFC as the first Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner to ink an exclusive deal with the promotion but treating grappling as a professional sport was at the top of his list.
After spending the past few years competing with ONE Championship, Musumeci signed a deal to compete under the UFC banner with his first match booked on Thursday night in Las Vegas. The 28-year-old New Jersey native admitted that working with the UFC would give him the chance to lead the charge into making sweeping changes across grappling with cleaning up the sport as the first item on his agenda.
“I feel like what I’m doing right now is definitely the most important thing for grappling in terms of having a stable platform,” Musumeci said on Wednesday during UFC 310 media day. “I feel like a lot of jiu-jitsu right now is very unstable. There’s a lot of horrible ethics, morals, and I hope now that with the UFC we can change that and make it a professional sport.
“Because it hasn’t been a professional sport, jiu-jitsu, with people they blatantly use [performance enhancing drugs]. They’re not athletes. They really don’t have the values of martial artists. I really just want to change that and give us this platform at UFC and become professionals.”
While Musumeci stopped short from naming names regarding the jiu-jitsu practitioners who he believes are cheating, it’s apparently a very long list.
He unloaded on the grappling community as a whole when asked who else he would like to see the UFC target as potential signings as the organization looks to grow the roster of exclusive athletes under contract.
“People not on steroids,” Musumeci said emphatically. “That’s pretty much what I would say but 99 percent of jiu-jitsu is on steroids. So at least them get off steroids a little bit, like a few months. They probably need like a year, six months to adjust and then maybe they could adjust with Darwinism.”
Musumeci isn’t the only high-level grappler to lob cheating accusations at other competitors competing in Brazilian jiu-jitsu but he really hopes the UFC investing in the sport will change that.
In fact, he knows the UFC is on board with his plans because that was a huge part of the reason he was so excited to sign with them in the first place.
“They want to make this professional also,” Musumeci said. “UFC’s a professional company. The way we’ve been in jiu-jitsu, we’ve been amateurs. We really are just in this barbaric amateur phase of jiu-jitsu. Now UFC is starting something professional. I’m so blessed for them for putting the effort into jiu-jitsu to change it. I’m so eager for them to do that.”
Long term, Musumeci has a lot of individual goals he would like to achieve and that might include an eventual transition into MMA but he’s still got plenty of work left to do in jiu-jitsu before he starts fighting.
It turns out signing with the UFC really was just the first step.
“I need to first grow us and UFC to the point where we are professional athletes,” Musumeci said. “What does that look like to me? That looks like we have belts, we have everything just like MMA fighters. Drug testing and belts and stability.
“We need drug testing. Completely make Darwinism with the people on steroids that the either have to just get off and they either die or they adapt. Then the next generation realizes they can’t just start steroids when they’re like 10 years old. I want to change that. That will give me the most fulfillment.”
