Nice. No holds barred interview
Great interview. I like your philosophy on competing. Just doing it for yourself, that's cool man.
Great, great interview for sure
Its great that Eddie and Denny manage to open the interviewers eye's to the 10th Planet system.
I know Eddie was trying not to name names, but I don't mind:
What Mundials champions have we had in the UFC?
Off the top of my head I can think of Roberto Traven, Fabricio Werdum, BJ Penn, Damien Maia...
Who else?
It was fun times :)
Eddie was particularly well spoken in this interview. He did a good job of explaining what 10th Planet is. I do wish he had mentioned that 10th Planet includes pretty much every jiu jitsu technique there is and that the syllabus is fluid and ever changing. At the end the interviewers seemed to be summarizing 10th Planet as being "jiu jitsu for MMA" but I look at 10th Planet as an all inclusive style of jiu jitsu where nothing is really banned and any technique that appears to work is added to the system.
The part of the interview that really drove me crazy though was when Denny mentioned being jumped by a Gracie, and the interviewers didn't ask for details. Very frustrating...
