BJJ Digest Episode # 61 - FloGrappling Snubs Gordon, DDS Fallout, Quintet 3 Coming in Hot

All I'm gonna say is that the internet is way behind on actually knowing what's been going on and for how long because this is just coming out now.

Gordon is spot on about FloGrappling opting to not cover him/omission....if anyone else competed at black belt for the first time and went double gold finishing all of their opponents at the 2nd biggest IBJJF NoGi tournament of the year they'd be tripping over their feet racing to gag on their dick. Imagine if Cobrinha's son had done the same feat? They'd line the figurative office with guys wanting to give him a handjob. Gordon does it and they barely mention it. ANYHOW, Quintet is also coming up along with the Subversiv card next weekend. What a *&^%ing time to be a grappling fan? Onnit invitational was this weekend? We had 2 kneebars/hamstring stretch/Suloev Stretches in one UFC, and there's Kasai 3 coming in November. *&^% Yeah.

UWW DQ’s Paulo Miyao Due to USADA suspension breach 

Paulo keeps not reading the fine print. He assumed he was eligible for the UWW because it wasn’t IBJJF. Guess that wasn’t the case. It’s slow going but the loop hole for Bomba is ever so slowly closing. God forbid JiuJiitsu becomes an Olympic sport, the podium will completely change. Guys can’t even pass the steroid test when it’s one knownnin advance day of the year. Off season it must be shenanigans what guys and girls are on.

BJJ Digest Episode 49 (extended?) - More Kasai Ref Backlash, Small joint manipulation or wrist lock?, Kayla Harrison's future....

Penalizing anyone for stalling felt pretty disingenuous after watching Canuto circle to the boundary and BS his way through literal minutes at a time of various matches. Literally came to score a takedown or 2, and maybe a guard pass across 4 matches and get a belt and call it a night. The crowd booed like crazy (still wondering if that came through on the broadcast because it got loud in the Lutes/Vagner match, the Canuto/Barch match, and TBH I left before the final because I felt like I had taken an Ambien after the Palhares/Jones non-match, and had seen enough of Canuto's dance steps across his 4 matches up until that point.

The prelims, and the superfights (minus Palhares' abortion of a match) all brought serious grappling and the majority of the Grand Prix felt like competitors looking to make it sporting. I had a blast. That being said, the reffing....has been a consistent issue across all 3 events and I'd be disingenuous to say otherwise (having been in person at all 3 events and heard and been a part of the crowd).
