Looks like his system worked for Conor. Gunni is up next!

Also, about 40 mins in to the interview we discuss what John sees as the role of the gi in mma training. I'd love to hear some 10th planet thoughts on his argument as it's different than the typical "it's good for self defense" or "it's traditional" arguments.

Great podcast, John is a very intresting guy, this has convinced me to go train at his gym now.
