    To be honest, having watched this match below, I mainly wanted Mafra in the tournament so that Tonon could have another chance to sub him.

    I would have also loved it if Orchard or Richie could have caught him.

    He was also the only world champ on the card

    looks like he does the "schaube" very well. He is perfect for Metamoris. Glad he dropped. EBI doesn't need runners!!!!

    I'll be curious to see if/how Metamoris responds to that Jiu Jitsu Times article.

    They might put forward some explanation for this other than Metamoris simply embracing an adversarial (vs. cooperative) business model in terms of talent acquisition/retention.

    I'm with everybody else though. It seems like trying to grow grappling as a sport through cooperation would be a far wiser strategy than treating it as a zero sum game at this point. The pie is still way too small for that.

    I would rather Ralek continue his rap career than to cock block up-and-coming avenues for jiujitsu.
