I was confirmed for a FTW recently about 4 days out. 24 hours before the event I found out they double booked my opponent and I was booted out. My teammate never even got a text from the guys for no reason. Idk if I'll ever do another f2w. It's just unprofessional. I'm tempted to put on my own event. I literally think I can do better. These guys are all over the place.
Coach Tyson! I couldn’t believe my eyes recognizing you on youtube! It was truly a blessing to train under you for the year I did and I just got super excited after I clicked I had to double take to make sure it’s you, and went to the about section to see your name! God bless you! - Omar from Knockout!
@@grapplingwithjiujitsu I know it’s great to hear from you as well and the lamp sitting within proximity of all the your accolades is an honor to me within itself! I’ve been getting back in training at Arizona Combat Sports while balancing studies now that I’ve been having a lot more free time (and I still have the enois gi, and if they have any rash guards for nogi and you’re sponsered by them I am definitely getting a few!) and I was wondering if you run classes at a gym in Arizona as Id love to come in for a drop in some time if possible! Great to hear from you and congratulations on getting married and it makes me happy to see you flourishing in life because you truly deserve it! Even though I’ve been inconsistent nothing makes me happier than when I get back to training and you had a huge impact on that! All love coach and it’s a joy to hear from you!
I think the best part of this is not having to pay Flo Grappling… and the likelihood that they have paid millions for ADCC only for it to be a 2nd tier event that people won’t pay to watch 😂😂😂😂. Flo Grappling suck 💪💪
Like it or not this is the most interesting time for BJJ, specifically nogi, ever. Craig is a force of nature and what him and his social media team has been accomplishing over the last year or so is amazing.
Technically anyone can do an instructional. They get paid by how many people buy the instructional and Fanatics’s takes a cut. But anyone can pretty much sign up to be an ‘instructor’ on the website
I’m just a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Started in 96…..it’s all about the academy. You fit in where you fit in. There are very aggressive schools. Feels like everyone is trying out for UFC. Then there are schools that focus on the sport and some that focus on the self defense. Either way…stay away from that dude. The cervical pressure alone is bad. Cutting off the blood is just insult. The fact he had no idea she was out…..damn 😡
This is a great summary. This whole drama has been entertaining and seems to be pushing the sport in a positive direction (financially as well as attention).
Sad the the Sheiks are the main supporters of ADCC and the fighters get paid shit, then Papa Craig and his shadow donation comes thru and with 1 event, gives the fighters what they deserve. Hope they get a sponsorship deal from this and CJI rises and ADCC fades away.
That is solid info and well said. Mo should pay you to consult for ADCC. The fact that Seth who's extremely disrespectful for SOoooo many reasons and ADCC hires him....is ignorant. @ADCC show some class.
11:38 is something I’ve been trying to articulate to my kids for years. Thank you for this. They will be transcribing parts of this video to better memorize it. Oh…good luck on getting your own SDDT.
I remember applying for F2W awhile ago. Never heard anything besides a generic "Thank you for applying email" a month before the event. I assumed I didn't get a matchup then out of nowhere I get asked to compete night before weigh-ins. I said no, but wondered why the fuck I got messaged so late about a match. Kind of sad because F2W is a great idea/event. Great vid!
The business model you are noting about the athletes selling tickets is a classic strategy music show promoters have used to cover their ass for years.
ADCC 2022 was weird because I spent 24 hours in that arena over 2 days and food ran out and it seemed like there was so much wasted time especially to open the tournament. It was fun though but good god it was a long weekend
Great video, Seth Daniels sems like an absolute tool, very toxic. I think pay in JJ tournaments and Super Fights can be better. I think there needs to be a shift in the JJ community and the athletes needs to learn to utilize their sponsors/network. The promoters need to stop paying for flights and hotel and tell the athletes to take care of that themselves, control your own schedule. Take that money and invest it in the prize funds in some form. There is a lot of money in JJ, you just have to find it. I'm surprised Ashton Kutcher hasn't started is own tournament along with Ed Hardy. "Show" money I think is a bad idea. A lot of these managers in MMA/BJJ are absolute trash and the athletes think they are employees of the managers, not the other way around. Assuming you don't win the show money isn't even enough to cover expenses. Instead of paying show money roll that into the win purses. I will be interesting to see where CJI is in 2-3 years.
The failed business model of giving JJ athletes free apparel and no money is outdated. Switch apparel with any supplement, etc... and it's the same. JJ athletes should refuse all sponsors that do this and instead take money, free shirts, BCAA powder, etc doesn't pay the bills. Evolution must happen...here we are 20+ years in and the model hasn't changed...well, sit back and watch the sport die. Do you want a reference? Mr. Olympia. You no longer need to be Mr. Olympia to make serious money or be famous in bodybuilding. Eventually it will be JJ turn and the entire shift will happen. Gone will be the days of ADCC, etc...the competitors will put their heads together and create a model that the fans want to see. One day don't be surprised if ADCC, CJI or the JJ Pan Ams is on Netflix or another MAJOR streaming service.
I was at ADCC 2022, it was very poorly ran from the announcements, shitty food, being there for what felt like a 1000 hours, needless to say, I am not going this year. Would rather watch the matches online.
i agree bro. im natty and never taken steroids and i compete a lot, and i wish IBJJF would drug test. like seriously even HRT gives u an advantage. and i prefer being natty
Seth deserved to get fired from ADCC, it was bound to happen eventually....not the most stable and level headed person. I'm surprised that he was working for ADCC with his reputation.
I thought it was weird the F2W would only give athletes a few day to know if they were going to fight and sell tickets. Should have match ups weeks in advance.
Eeeeeexcellent content here. Keep them all on notice that they can't just put shit out there on the web or in texts and think they'll get away with it. You've GOT to be smarter than that. Just be @Craig and stay cool.
I've never won a tournament but can still charge a hefty fee for privates. Mainly doctors, lawyers, cops, nurses, and businessmen. People with money. Chasing belts and medals is fun but not worth the time or money. If you are a nice person, charismatic, and can teach Jiujitsu clearly at all levels medals don't mean anything. It's the same as getting a degree but working at Starbucks because you're not hirable or have a useless degree. There's money to be made in this sport if Jiujitsu guys weren't such narcissistic idiots.
It’s crazy the guy thought he could step on his opponent like trash post match. That’s assault, why is he not banned if you Wanna play the legal game …. I understand the ban but the adcc guys reaction chasing him was so outta pocket
I honestly expected the dude doing the stepping to be the one getting punched. The times I’ve met Kieran, he seems like a genuinely nice guy. I’d love to talk to anyone involved, it feels like there’s more going on than we can see in a video.
@@grapplingwithjiujitsu for real that’s what I was thinking..how could you be surprised that your teammate got hit when you act like that? I know my gym and most others wouldn’t tolerate stomping on someone’s back.
@@grapplingwithjiujitsu first of all, you (and the others who liked your comment) are hilarious for taking my comment seriously. Secondly, crying about fighters pay is kinda cringe. Ask for more money once or twice, then move on to something else. You knew your athletes werent getting what they deserve and you still sent them to that competition. You probably knew he choked her unconscious and still had ppl compete there. This shows YOU have no values. And this is what keeps people like Seth in business.
Never heard of that Seth dude before but hearing him talk and seeing how he treated that girl he put to sleep, Id say he is a psychopath….clearly has some major issues
At the end of the day it’s up to the athletes to garner xposure. Xposure is where the money/eyes are at. If not for that, there is no product. CJI will be a hit because of the exposure all of the athletes are already bringing. Jay rod and Victor Hugo are both top tier athletes but who do you see more of? Jay rod keeps losing but puts himself out there.
Man, you did a fantastic job summing up the whole saga. Respectfully though, I'd kindly ask you not to make assumptions about how Brittney feels about the choke. The fact is none of us know how she actually feels and whether it's different than what she said in her post, so making assumptions in either direction does no one any good.
I just put up $50,000 for sub of the night. Let’s get this party started 😂
It's a cool collab James, smart move I think OSSSSS
I didn’t even realize you were serious 😂 that’s amazing!
Love this
baller move
That’s cool as fuck
The way Bernado is looking at Seth like he has Zero Honor for him is priceless 😂
It was NOT a huge honor for him... 😅
Bernado has the "wtf bro" kinda look on his face
Today is a huge disappointment
😂😂😂
How did Bernardo not just cancel this from filming?? Allow this to be sold on fanatics?? Or on RUclips? Makes me not want to purchase their videos.
Love that cji is making more people become real grappling media. Flograppling only puts out click bate. Nice someone is actually covering the sport
Yes. Flo is belowwww mid
Can you expand on this please, I am curious to know more. Thanks!
Not respecting the Tap is the "Worst".....anyone who does not respect the Tap should be avoided/Banned/Called out.....they're a total Dirt-Bag
It's assault IMO and they should be charged.

Yeah it's massive for the sport, it's an exciting time!
Another Aussie mad cunt to save the day 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
His real name is Seth Bregman. He changed it. I'll let you come to your own conclusions as to why.
Every single time
Holy shit, I’ve never seen those clips of Seth. Didn’t really know who the guy was. What a tool! 💀
I was waiting for some quality coverage on this. Liked and subbed. Please keep this going as the events develop!
This is seriously good content. Just subscribed. Thank you.
This is drawing attention to misunderstood part of the sport. This is great
After this video, I will never support FTW
Same fuck em
Not respecting someones tap is literally assault. Insane
This was a very solid video. And your voice is easy to listen to.
How and why does Seth have an instructional lmfao
It was a HUGE disappointment to me to find this out!

Great video. Really enjoy your content and recapping the whole ADCC- CJI Invitational . I'll definitely subscribe
You hit the nail right on the head with F2W
Why is nobody talking about Bernardo Faria's reaction to what the guy eas saying? lol
wow, you did a really nice job with this nice work kid
Only a fool makes a threat that millions of people can see.

F2W is definitely not a great event or idea. Donkey
The business model you are noting about the athletes selling tickets is a classic strategy music show promoters have used to cover their ass for years.
Taking a page straight out of the "local show promoter" playbook... right down to being a skeevy human being.
Do a video about all the drama that broke out with Craig and Gordon after CJI/ADCC, I feel like its more intense that it ever has been!
I’m definitely planning on it. Just waiting for some more details to come out. It seems like Craig is going to drop some info on it soon.
Great video!!!
This video is pretty brilliant!
Love it! Have felt this way about these POSs for awhile!
This was a great breakdown and hilarious

One of the reasons why I bought a CJI ticket. Definitely wouldn't mind watching it on RUclips, but prefer seeing history in the making.

ADCC WON'T ever let Craig Jones participate in ADCC again.
What movie was the German clip from?
Its from the movie "Downfall"
I think the original video meme was that hitler got his Xbox account banned 😂😂😂
