🏆 🏆 🏆 Another friend of the show doing big this last weekend: Alan Sanchez secured his 3rd EBI title and secured his spot in the next UFC BJJ card! It's inspiring to see this man find the accolades that he's fought so hard for. Congrats, sir!

🥇 🥇 Although this clip is from our interview TWO years ago, it's relevant again since Mo Black just won ADCC Eat Coast Trials AGAIN! We're definitely overdue in bringing her back on the show!

While Misfits MMA was beating around the bush by limiting the ground game of Dillon Danis, the UFC showed why they're the biggest promotion in the game by delivering a lifetime ban after his latest crowd brawl defeat.

🤼 Are worlds of wrestling and professional wrestling are two sides of the same coin. But as @boujeegatame.bsky.social found out, no one from the WWE comes to recruit you after high school wrestling.

What kick-started your grappling journey?
