I might be an exception but the first i heard of CJI was on Modern wisdom podcast when Craig was a guest. Before that, I never heard of him I knew about Nikki Rod and Gordon Ryan from their IG beef with steroids and greasing accusations, it was all i knew about BJJ . Craig was so amazing in the podcast that I took interest in the event ended up binge watching almost entire B team RUclips channel and watched both of the events in their entirety. I am an MMA fan and the combat sports fan for a long time, but I never took an interest in jujitsu. The CJI most definitely made it fun to watch because it had so much familiar vibes and elements of other combat sport events (ufc,ksw,glory amd dare i say wwe 😂) props to Craig !
Levi 100% won that. Definitely lost a lot of love for the Ruotolo brothers after this tournament after being a big fan of theirs. That’s all. Great episode as always.

Thanks for sharing, and that's awesome! I really hope lots of other combat sports fans had the same experience as you.
There would be a lot of casuals like me, but I like mma
1.5 hours of the 99+ kg division was on Flo.
Appreciate the clarification! Without you we literally would have never looked it up haha.
for sure adcc wasnt on you tube
Ya, I was definitely wrong about that.

99% if people watching train bjj. everyone that watches bjj watched cji. It got all the competitors and bjj nerds
Really hoping that number is slightly lower so the sport can grow more, but I think you're probably right.
