    Jacare Left Jiujitsu Because of the IBJJF

    http://www.mmafighting.com/2013/9/3/...racie-mma-news

    In his own words: "They take too much money from us and simply don’t give anything back. I left jiu-jitsu for MMA because those f------ never came to me asking if I needed anything."

    These are fairly harsh words and I am very saddened to hear them. An all-time great abandoned our sport because of greed and politics.

    Yeah. He left sport jiu jitsu, but as of right now, he's still one of BJJ's greatest examples in MMA.

    I agree with him. And I'm glad he's speaking out on it. IBJJF is basically a marketing platform if your goal is to open a school. Other than that, there is no benefit. Like I said, I'm glad he's speaking out on it.

    He didn't really leave our sport. He just left the IBJJF.

    He was still down for ADCC from 2005-2011.

    Hell, the IBJJF has only even cared about no-gi since it started no-gi mundials in 2007. As far as I'm concerned, they're latecomers to the no-gi tournament game anyway.

    Same thing happened in Judo, unfortunately the IFJ didn't listen to the people, I doubt the IBJJF will listen either.

    bump the ibjjf. i don't compete for them at all. most of my guys are the same way. i allow my students to compete wherever they want. no restrictions. its crazy that even the white belts can see how ridiculous those people are.

    Couldn't agree more, on a side note this guy is also probably the best example of aggressive Jiu-Jitsu in MMA.

    He's part of a dying breed. With MMA being dominated by wrestlers and strikers, BJJ has fallen behind in the evolution department. Jacare is one of the few who's still using BJJ effectively at the highest level.

    Didn't Ryan Hall leave for the same reasons?
