Is Craig Jones bigger than Jiu Jitsu?

JT & Joey
About this episode

Craig Jones has taken the jiu-jitsu world by storm, reaching a level of fame that even Gordon Ryan couldn't touch. How did he do it? By blending extraordinary grappling skills with a knack for social media and a flair for the dramatic. Jeff Glover even compares him to a real-life WWE character! From staged controversies with Gabby Garcia to his expert understanding of psychology, Craig knows exactly how to keep us all on the edge of our seats. His academic background in psychology isn't just a footnote; it's the secret sauce that makes his antics so compelling.

But what's next for this jiu-jitsu rock star? We dig into whether Craig's high-octane, seemingly reckless lifestyle is sustainable, especially considering his impressive physical condition possibly bolstered by performance-enhancing drugs. Join us as we ponder his future impact on the jiu-jitsu community and beyond.
