Fringe Grappling Style Showdown: Josh Starlord LeDuc vs Curran Jacobs April 27th

Despite claiming to love wrestling and/or  leg locks and finding reasons of not doing ADCC, two guys in a related grappling sport are gonna face off April 27th.

Catch wrestling reminds me a lot of Shuai Joao (that Chinese wrestling style). Sure, it looks cool, but the level of professionalism and competition is simply not the same as Judo or Wrestling and I've yet to see other than a few exceptions, any of them use it effectively in MMA or submission grappling for that matter.

Curran got a little bump in visibility by calling for a Gordon Ryan match but only to a ruleset of  his choosing (shocker). If you want a crack at a guy like Gordon with his accompanying resume, you better round up the $$$ to make it happen or chop down some big names further up the totem pole buddy. I guess Curran beat Travis Wiuff at a catching wrestling event at some point. That’s about it, in terms of grapplers you'd recognize. Anyhow, LeDuc is makin it happen having rounded up sponsors so my hat off to him. LeDuc also threw his hat in the ring when fundraising for Galvao vs Gordon was looking like it might happen but before Jesus Galvao decided the kids in his hometown didn’t need a school.

So, LeDuc will always have a soft spot in my heart for helping show that Galvao just posts about Jesus and does his work when it suits what he has planned in America, anyway.
