Does the grappling arm allow leg locks?
Just turned it on, anybody watching?
Never been a fan of Andy Varela for some reason.
I know hes very good but, his matches kind of bore me I guess
Long live the Ultimate Ground!
Now Dorian Oliverez, this kid is lightning!
Awesome action!
HKP are you watching at least?
Forced closed guard! Love it
Went to a Riley Bodycomb seminar and he said closed guard really doesnt exist…I disagree!
Was just watching this Live on Pluto. Royce is there.
This young lady interviewer is terrible.
Canuto looked good, Sanchez was game though
Awesome submission by Le Vern
Are small joints subs allowed? Ronaldo jr got a freakishly long big toe
Great round by Ronaldo jr
Lloyd irvin is still a top BJJ Coach ?
That’s vile
Tackett is very likeable
Weird call out though
Very smart, pretty much a gimme title defense for him
