(Video) Conor McGregor Reveals How Much He’ll Earn From Mayweather Fight

How much will earn Conor McGregor in fight with Floyd Mayweather

We all know that McGregor is waiting for a payday of his life when he takes on Floyd Mayweather on Aug. 26 in Las Vegas, Nevada,

But how much that really is Conor McGregor revealed on mmafighting.com, Ariel Helwani’s interview.

“I will clear the $100 million mark. 100-percent,” McGregor said. “If it clears Pacquiao numbers, which it will, which in my mind it already has, it will be $100 million. Factor the gates, factor the merchandise sales, factor all the pies that I have my hand in. I will clear the $100 million mark.”

Both Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor did an excellent job of promoting the fight and  because of that McGregor plans on taking what he’s owed.

“It’s been all me, and that’s it, and I will collect every single dot on this. I mean on everything, the food, the beverages, the gate, the pay-per-view, the whole lot. When this fight is done, I will sit back, I will collect my show money, and then I’ll go start counting everything else and getting into that $100 million range and taking what I’m owed. And then we will see what’s next after that.”

 

Black Belt Chokes Out White and leaves him Unconscious

Black Belt chokes out white belt and leaves him

As the backstory goes this white belt came to Brazil and in a disrespectful manner asked a black belt to roll with him.

As you can see in a video white belt didn’t tap on time and got choked out. But what you can also see is the attitude of this black belt. After he put him to sleep he’s looking at this white belt and you can clearly see that he doesn’t care much about him and his condition. Just like all the other guys in the gym who were laughing at him.

Although we don’t know what happened before let’s assume that this white belt was “rude” when he asked the black belt to roll. Maybe he doesn’t know the rule that the lower belt is not supposed to ask the higher belt to roll or his voice tone was bad or something else. Let’s assume that this white belt is the most disrespectful person you can meet in the gym.

But is there anything that can justify the act of this black belt?  Is this black belt an example of what the BJJ black belt should represent? Would you feel comfortable if your instructor did this?

BJJ Black Belt (without wrestling background) Wins Wrestling Tournament!

BJJ black Belt won wrestling tournament

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Robby Malof wins the 2017 Spatola Wrestling Classic in Cincinnati, OH.

This happened in April 2017. Robby was fighting against three high-level wrestlers in that competition. He fought without wrestling shoes against Kentucky state champion, Ohio state placer, and a D1 Wrestler from OU.

He won using kimura traps and other BJJ moves combined with wrestling.

Although a lot of people on his Facebook were questioning his statement that he had no wrestling background no one seems to prove anything till now.

Here are some of his quotes over Facebook:

“High-level BJJ can compete against high-level wrestling. No dispute, I proved it today. I will have videos to post in the days to come. In the meantime please share this post if you believe BJJ is the most dominant martial art.”

And as we can see he was even challenging anyone from the wrestling world to fight him for money with BJJ rules.

“Sounds like someone can’t accept the reality that I WON a wrestling tournament. No matter how hard you try James & anyone else you can’t take away the facts. D1 wrestler, Kentucky state champion, Ohio state placer. All other challengers can compete against me under a BJJ rule set and I promise they will all be tapping out or going to.”

“I will gladly accept any wrestlers challenge to a BJJ match and I promise you I will embarrass any wrestler 190lbs and under. Im only 170lbs and I will put $10,000 against someone’s $10,000 to try to beat me in a submission only match. Winner takes all. Otherwise keep trolling because I have no desire to wrestle.”

At the end did he prove that BJJ Black Belts can compete at high level wrestling tournaments. Well YES, some. Is that a rule? NO! And are wrestlers with no BJJ background able to fight at black belt BJJ tournaments? NO! The reason is simple. Wrestling is a huge part of BJJ while BJJ isn’t a huge part of wrestling.

The A$$hole Choke

The asshole choke BJJ

Looking for a simple choke that will get you unfriended on Facebook? “The A$$hole Choke” is your ticket to being the mat bully you’ve always wanted to be ?

I think this is an original Kent Peters creation so if you have seen it before exactly like this please let me know, I’m always amazed how jiu-jitsu can evolve similarly in different locations all over the globe.

Who Should You Spar With for the Fastest Progress in BJJ?

Who should you spar with for the fastest progress

Who should you spend most of your time on the mats training with and sparring against?

One of my martial arts mentors, Dan Inosanto, said it best; “You make your fastest progress when you’re sparring people just a little bit better or a little bit worse than you.

This makes a lot of sense.

Imagine you’re a new blue belt and you’ only ever train with high level brown belts and black belts…

How often are you really going to land a good technique on someone that much better than you?  Not very often!

In fact you’re going to spend almost all your time defending, defending, defending, which means you’ll never get good at your offense.

Now imagine the opposite: that you’re a brown belt and you only ever spar white belts…  Are they really going to give you much of a challenge?  Not likely.

Against those white belts you may be able to drill your offensive techniques, but they won’t keep you on your toes and take advantage of your mistakes.  So you run the risk of getting sloppy and complacent.

Of course you should sometimes spar people much much better or much much worse than you.  You can definiteiy learn from doing that occasionally.

But if you want to get better fast then you should spend the majority of your time – somewhere between 50% and 80% of your matches – sparring against people more or less your own level.

In the video below I go a little bit deeper into this topic, but now at least you have the general idea.

The Craziest submission in MMA lately!

Mma submission calf slicer knee compression

Fight happened on Brazilian Mixed Martial Arts Event! It was pulled by Charles oliviera.

This guy exactly knew what he was doing. He was so calm and steady while waiting for his opponent to make mistake. He got his hooks in, clamped guy with his feet so he can’t move away and submitted him with knee compressing calf slicer shortly after.

Take a look at this awesome move that you rarely see in MMA

What is Invisible Jiu-Jitsu? – by Rickson Gracie

Rickson Gracie on invisible Jiu jitsu

What is invisible Jiu-Jitsu?

Coined by Rickson Gracie, the son of Grandmaster Hélio Gracie, Invisible Jiu-Jitsu is a concept within Jiu-Jitsu, which underlies all of the techniques that we use every day.

Rickson views BJJ as his father saw it: a tool for empowerment that gives the physically weak individual a chance against the strong; a medium and a means to gain confidence and enrich ones’ life. Invisible Jiu-Jitsu is a method that always wins overpower & strength.

It is really more of a philosophy of Jiu-Jitsu than anything else. Once you start to apply the concepts and philosophies of Invisible Jiu-jitsu to your game, you won’t need to know a thousand techniques.

Let’s hear an interview with Master Rickson with Grappling Central where he talks about controlling your breathing, teaching Jiu-Jitsu to anyone, managing fear, and his thoughts on honor in modern society

Jocko Willink: Pure Jiu-Jitser will beat Pure Wrestler 9 out of 10 times in a real fight!

jocko jiu jitsu vs Wrestling

On Jocko’s podcast 68 there was an interesting question for Jocko Willink.

“In podcast 13 you stated that jiu jitsu is the martial art that takes the most time to become proficient I disagree and here’s why: as a wrestler I’ve been able to pick up jiu-jitsu in a matter of  about 2 months to the point where I can submit a blue belt here and there and mostly control purple belt possibly … I might just be a bad teacher but I haven’t had much success teaching jiu-jitsu folks to wrestle. After the same amount of time they’re maybe a low highschool wrestling level… “

Jocko Willinks answer:

I guess I should’ve said grappling men in general which is definitely harder to achieve a basic level of competence in rather than striking. Now don’t get me wrong – you take a skilled boxer, they will destroy an unskilled boxer. You take a skilled muay thai guy  they will destroy an unskilled muay thai guy.

He added:

“A good wrestler is a good grappler, you are a good grappler and that’s why you’re able to pick up jiu-jitsu quickly because wrestling is grappling which is jiu-jitsu. Are there differences? Yes there are absolutely but…

If you played baseball in college when you get on the office softball team you’re a killer… It’s the same thing with wrestling. As far as the fact that it doesn’t take long to learn if you’re a high-level wrestler Yes absolutely, you learn it very quickly. Look at the history of the UFC Dan Severn, Mark Coleman, Kevin Randleman, Randy Couture, Tito – all those high level wrestlers and guess what it’s not history high level wrestlers are there now too. Jon Jones, DC.. it’s wrestlers – wrestlers … Now are there other guys who come in and fill in but the majority base is wrestling. So now you also have to look at the early UFCs or you go to any gym and the fact is a jiu-jitsu only guy beats a wrestling only guy 9 times out of 10. That’s the way it is Now if the wrestler can learn very quickly but if the wrestler only knows wrestling and the bjj guy only knows jiu jitsu the jiu jitsu guy is going to win simply because the wrestler doesn’t know how to finish the fight.”
