The Rise of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Will It...

JT & Joey
About this episode

Episode 311: Do you love BJJ? Do you also love MMA? Which sport is more popular? Most will say MMA but how many people train for MMA and how many people train for BJJ. There are plenty of BJJ practitioners who are MMA fans - JT & Joey being some of them. But here is the point of conjecture ( specifically JT's point) BJJ will be bigger/ more popular than MMA very soon. He points to the recent birth of so many different live events paying grapplers $20,000- $50,000 which was un heard of 10 years ago.
This is more money than some UFC fighters. As the grappling community swells in numbers so too does the fan base. If BJJ is not more popular than MMA, the question is how long until it is?
