It looks like Metamoris cancelled him being on the card because they couldn't get a crew out to film his prep. If that's true it's the most BJJ thing in history. loving sucks I really wanted to see him compete. Apparently he's in talks to do the next metamoris though.
Due to the "internet backlash" Ralek has now a rapid 180 and confirmed Kit is back on the card as before.

Rickson is such a dick. I know he's probably one of, if not the best Gracie at BJJ, but he was pretty much absent when it came to Kron's career until Kron became an irresistible grappling force of awesomeness, now he wants to help / take credit. Kron talked about it when he was on that his dad didn't train him much as a youngster and was pretty much absent whenever Kron asked him for help.

I don't know why I'm defending a Gracie but... if i remember Kron's episode on Rogan's podcast this really isn't the case. Kron was kind of ambivalent about pursuing BJJ (and wanted to be a skateboarder) until he was like 15 or 16 after his brother gave him a talk. At that point Rickson's back was hosed and his marriage was ruined (i think?) and he went back to Brazil to relax. Kron said he grew up with his dad teaching him poo poo and that he'd call him on the phone about BJJ and work out stuff in person when they could. Rickson could very well be an rear end in a top hat, but I'm pretty sure he taught Kron as a kid and gave him advice as an adult.

e- We could be mixing up details here and there but I certainly didn't come away with the feeling "wow Rickson's a dick" from listening to Kron's ep.

Kron talked about getting ready for something big, can't remember whether it was the worlds or abu dhabi or what but his old man said he'd come help him out and then didn't show up until the day before he was meant to leave.

I do this technique called a suplex. You probably haven't heard of it, it's pretty obscure.
I don't get Renzo's motive here. With or without striking I can pretty easily see Hughes taking him down and laying on him on his way towards a points win.

There are specific rules about attire in the contract for each bout, and you can't change your mind later or the attorneys get involved. Dean will never wear a gi because it will mean his favorite move is banned.

I gotta give it to them, though, they are trying to get people to watch. Metamoris isn't the only grappling thing out there, but they definitely seem to know how to grab headlines. I never really watch pure grappling type stuff. Metamoris 3 started to change that. Now I'm hyped for this.

Chael Sonnen’s jiu-jitsu coach Fabiano "Pega-Leve" Scherner told MMAFighting on Wednesday night that the former UFC middleweight and light heavyweight title challenger had decided to travel to Los Angeles and will battle Andre Galvao in the main event.

Sonnen is aware that the commission might go after him after the grappling match, Scherner said, but he had no choice but to honor his commitment with Metamoris and compete.

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



I know wrestling is rotten on your knees, but how is training BJJ or any other grappling discipline? (Assume gyms associated with Palhares are outliers and should not be counted.)

I keep toying with the idea of looking into taking casual jiu jitsu classes on a longer-term basis, but I've picked up jogging again and knee problems run in my family as it is, so I'm not too keen on tearing them to shreds either.
