interesting, i can't say much, white belt and all.
Great interview. I wonder if the people who think nogi Jitz isn't Bjj think that Royce is the only Brazilian ever to use Bjj in MMA :-)

I dont always train in the GI but when I do it is only with JJ Machado :)
Man, Danaher pretty much disagreed with everything that guy tried to lead him to. That was comically painful.
I thought Danaher's best comment in regards to the no-gi/gi issue was right on the mark: fighters are not really interested in the cultural conventions [such as wearing a gi], they are just interested in what will work (that's my summary, not even close to an exact quote).
I think this would make most bjjers heads explode if they really had to think about it.Quote:

After de la riva, what else could there possibly be?" Interviewer obviously doesn't have an Internet connection. J/K
I think the interviewer was your typical BJJ snob/cult member. Danaher is a genius.
LOL. Perfect.Quote:
