BJJ Scout's BJJ Digest: Erberth Santos Speaks, Danis Still Legend in Own Mind, Domynyka Talks Injuries...

Sounds like he's banned for life from BJJ Stars (assuming it exists in a year or two, who knows, amirite?) and reference to him losing an ADCC invite, but if he was gonna be invited that's a joke bc he got heel hooked by a guy at ACB bc he tapped literally before the guy even cranked...so who knows if it was legit or just insult to injury?

As for being salty about injuries, you're in a combat sport. People have multiple injuries in virtually all pro level sports. Football players at the high school level end up paralyzed. Cheerleaders and gymnasts and ballerinas all carry the effects of the sport with them afterward if they spent any real continuous time training.

My injury ledger so far reads:
I'm at 2 ACL/Meniscus surgeries, more broken toes and fingers than I could count, however many ankle/wrist sprains etc, a herniated disc in my neck which made my arm numb for 2 months with insane nerve pain, rotator cuff damage, torn oblique/bruised hip bone/bruised kidney, and tendonitis in both knees, not to mention whatever the concussion tally is for the aggregate of all the combat sports I've done.

BJJ Scout's BJJ Digest: Paulo Miyao Flouting USADA Ban Redux, Vagner Calls out Eddie Cummings

Paulo violated the ban by doing the UWW event. Has since violated that violated ban by doing another IBJJF event. IBJJF wants to make money, be also be the pinnacle of the sport? But also barely enforce any rules nor steroid test in a sport full of 40 year olds looking like the incredible hulk and countless others cheating. Black belts can't even pass the steroid test that is ONE DAY PER YEAR.

BJJ Scout: BJJ Digest 43 - Gordon Ryan Free Agent/ACB's on the Fence, Danis Dancing Around the Obvious

Several Pro/NoGi ACB Events cancelled. "Possibly starting up again" in a few months with some rule set changes. We'll see. I will say this, in defense of the Gi guys, when you penalize guard pulling for 1 minute out of a 5 minute round, do you expect some of the world's best Gi competitors to face one another and produce a ton of thrilling matches? For every exciting 2018 Black Belt Worlds match I saw, there were 5 marred by fleeing the boundaries, extended/protracted battles in just a few positions, hell, even the IBJJF had to put a timer on ankle grabbing double guard pull sit-fests....and change the rules surrounding coming up for the sweep in 50/50. We were subjected to multiple Worlds finals over the years that were 50/50 scissor fests. Simply making the rounds shorter and penalizing guard pulling is a couple band-aids on the problem.
IN Gordon's own sole ACB match, Vinny scored points in the first round, and then basically did enough anti-Jiu-Jitsu to ride out the remaining two rounds. It only takes one competent competitor to produce a frustrating match, as Kasai has also seen in a number of it's Grand Prix format events.

Time will tell...
Also, you get a short clip of Danis dancing around why he's not in the welterweight grand prix and how he avoided the Neiman Gracie fight that he knows he wants no part of whatsoever. Neiman is an animal. I say that having seen him train in the blue basement at Renzo's. Danis will avoid that fight for as long as he possibly can.

Bellator Tomorrow Night: Fedor, Mir, Gracie, Lovato, Danis

Bellator has quite a stable of wrestling prospects but had also singed some notable JiuJitsu talent with the likes of Lovato and Neiman Gracie. Danis makes his much discussed ebut after what feels like ages talking about it. We'll see how the Fedor vs Mir Legends match unfolds.
