BJJ Scout's BJJ Digest: Gordon/Craig Jones Tag Team Challenge, Burns vs Maia, et al

After Jones tapped Fredson Paixaio and Gordon tapped Gonzaga (I know, I know) the bounty was offered for 2 guys to step up and face them. It's kinda like MJ and Pippen  tossing out a challenge to play 2 on 2 in their heyday, but I'm all for cash money wager pink slip style in the sport. Too many guys for too long complained about no money in the sport but now somehow find themselves busy when EBI and other events offer real money, so we'll see who answers the call now that the gauntlet has been laid.

Keenan Talks Brass Tacks (and Sponsorship Program/Tryouts)

I've always had a lot of respect for Keenan as a disrupter of the status quo. I appreciate anyone who says unpopular things and doesn't back down from voicing either the unconventional or the unpopular. He references some ideas about "how things are done" versus stopping to ask yourself "why are they done" and goes in depth about the goals for his gym, the program, and some of the things he's looking for in potential team members.
