I was about to say this is ironic since I’m pretty sure Max started out in bjj. BJJ is really popular in HawaiiDude do you even know what gym Max trains out of.

How many top mma camps do you have? Or run? Let me guess, zero.Yes I am
This happens with me alot at my gym. Able to rival ranks ahead of me just because of this. Almost always get the takedown and just control top without taking a ton of risk. When I do get swept i'm almost always able to either roll into turtle and pressure a standup or simply pop my hips out in open guard and get back to standup (especially in no-gi)Stephen Abas (Olympic Silver Medalist) is a wrestling coach at our gym and he cross trains in bjj now and is currently a blue belt. Even as a blue belt his game rivals most black belts just doesn’t have as many submissions, his pressure is insane and good luck trying to scramble
Pure BJJ guys would be super well served to cross train in wrestling.
They have great ground games, but todays fighters have much evolved TDD.
I often wonder what would happen if we saw a legit Olympic caliber wrestler cross-train in BJJ, and achieve a high level black belt game. That would be seriously scary imo.
Yeah there’s been some weird anti bjj hate on these forums for a while now I don’t really understandI love how Ortega goes 14-0 with a bunch of crazy submissions and all of a sudden when he loses a championship fight, in the fight of the night, he sucks and jiu jitsu sucks LOL.

No because I have a job not involving brain damage thanksHow many top mma camps do you have? Or run? Let me guess, zero.
Did he now. Damian maia is don3. Jiu jitsu is done.What about him? Damn good wrestler, who wanted no part of demians game, not even clinch for a sec with...
That’s not really surprising though. Wrestling makes great athletes and has some transferable skills in the most important areasStephen Abas (Olympic Silver Medalist) is a wrestling coach at our gym and he cross trains in bjj now and is currently a blue belt. Even as a blue belt his game rivals most black belts just doesn’t have as many submissions, his pressure is insane and good luck trying to scramble. I just wish he would have started training consistently before he retired from mma and then we could have seen what your talking about.
BJJ is the reason there are so many wrestling based fighters.
Don't want to play BJJ? Learn to wrestle.

Well that would be just absolutely wrong.not what imm saying, there are flaws in bjj, and its probably obsolete.
