EDDIE BRAVO AND JOE ROGAN TALK BJJ AND MMA

You may not agree with his life style choices or with his advocacy of certain illegal substances.  Say what you want about Eddie Bravo, but his knowledge base when it comes to MMA and Brasilian Jiu-Jitsu is amazing.  For those of you unfamiliar with Eddie Bravo, he is a 2nd degree Blackbelt in Brasilian Jiu-Jitsu under Jean-Jacques Machado and the creator of 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu.  In 2003, as a brown belt, he competed in the Abu Dhabi Sumission Wrestling Championships and submitted Royler Gracie by triangle choke in a massive upset.  

I've always been a fan of Eddie's and although sometimes weird, his commentary regarding MMA is generally pretty insightful.  So when I heard this, I thought it would be good to share it with the world.  This is an excerpt from the Joe Rogan Experience from a few months ago where Eddie and Joe discuss the state of BJJ in Mixed Martial Arts today.  Really interesting stuff.  The clip is a bit long but I promise it's worth the listen.
