  • EDDIE BERNAL shocked audiences back at Lights Out Xtreme Fighting in May when he announced that he was retiring from MMA. At just 25, the announcement came as a shock to many of his family and friends.

    So in this interview, I wanted to give Eddie the opportunity to fully explain his reasoning for leaving the fight game -- as well as a chance to tell us what might be next for him.

    We also cover what happened in his last fight and I even start trying to brainstorm things he can start doing to help ease him into his post-retirement MMA life.

    Be sure to check this one out, as I think Eddie does a great job of talking about his impressive run as a mixed martial arts fighter. We've had a ton of fun covering his time in the cage over the years, but I'm quite certain this is far from his last time on the show.

    Cheers to a great career, Eddie.

  • I have to say, this was one of our nerdiest episodes. A few days after punching her ticket to ADCC, we got the chance to speak with LYZZ MITROVIC about her ADCC trials experience, comparing notes on everything from preparation, game faces, and (yes) even Whoop scores and rankings.

    This is also one of our longest interviews.

    We hope you like that. Lyzz was such an earnest and easy-going guest to talk to, the time flew by in such a quick fashion.

    But don't worry, we still were able to make time for her origin story and her unique perspectives on all things BJJ.

  • I had the pleasure of catching RICK ZELADA's recent fight at Lights Out Xtreme Fighting back in May.

    Rick and I have run into each other here and there at some local open mats here in Southern California.

    And while I was rooting for my guy to come back with a W (spoiler: he did), I had no idea of the incredible story behind his epic win. We get into the meaning behind this last fight, that memorable post-fight moment in the cage, and the unconventional journey that brought Slick to the fight game.

    There was also a cool moment where we got to walk down memory lane, talking about the insane jiu-jitsu matches that Dream Jiu Jitsu used to host.

    I really appreciated MATADOR TRAINING for opening up their doors and allowing us to do this one at their gym. They just added a brand new jiu-jitsu program in association with our good friends over at NEW GROUND JIU JITSU.

    If you're in the NoHo area, I highly encourage you to go visit them!

  • RYAN AITKEN is a two-time Combat Jiu Jitsu champ, but he knew he was in for an epic tournament at the EBI ABSOLUTES.

    Not only was he out there to continue showing out for his 10th Planet Atlanta crew, but he knew there would be eyeballs on his performance from major promotions that are taking place this August.

    What happened that night was a life-changing moment that culminated with Aitken being crowned the EBI ABSOLUTES champion on the 10th anniversary of the Eddie Bravo namesake.

    It was an incredible moment, and we've got the entire story behind his run. Be sure to check it out!

  • In one of the wildest BJJ weeks in recent memory, I took some time to address two issues that came up in the community that identify the struggles we have as a sport as we court mainstream acceptance.

  • We got the chance to speak with the CJJ Worlds featherweight champ, GABRIEL DAFFRON, shortly after his big win.

    We talk about his run at CJJ, the build up to it, how it felt to accomplish that major goal, as well as what is coming up next for this longtime friend of the show.

    Additionally, we get to hear some great stories about how he celebrated his big CJJ title win.

  • We spent some time going over some of the worst takes about the CJI/ADCC situation -- and wouldn't you know it, some of the takes in the comment section somehow managed to get worse. As such, I took a few minutes on our latest episode of The Bullpen to address those silly arguments.

    Bring your popcorn, Tim sure did.

  • Back at SPARSTAR 59, I made some errors with this young man's name. He put on a spectacular performance, and somehow, my commentary made him less inclined to want to watch that fight.

    Yet, he graciously agreed to come up to my gym for an interview and I somehow messed up on giving him directions there, too. It goes to show that young ROBERTO ARIAS (known to most as Beto) has an extreme amount of patience.

    In this episode we get to know this excellent young fighter better and eventually get to the point where we can have a laugh about the circumstances. If you haven't had the chance to check out his incredible fight, you can do so here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqJYa8M83Zo

  • In just a few days, the CJI has ignited some buzz. After hearing a handful of terrible arguments about the situation (and the implications it might have on ADCC), I decided to address a few of the worst takes we’ve heard so far on the most recent episode of THE BULLPEN.

    You can also catch the FULL EPISODE on the GRAPPLING HOUR YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/live/aIfofNM1obs

  • Back at Sparstar 59, I had the pleasure of commentating CHRISTIAN DIGHERO's fight against (our good friend) Eleno Almanza. I was excited to see this fight play out and was very impressed with the way that Christian carried himself in that fight.

    After years of watching him grind out some impressive wins out here in the SoCal MMA circuit, I invited him to Milton Arguello's Mixed Martial Arts to have a chat about his combat sports journey.

    We talk about his ability to visualize his outcomes, the preparation he puts into his fights, and how he has been able to manifest a dream that has been inside of his age since he was five years old.

    He might only be 23 years old, but when you watch him fight, he brings the composure of a man well beyond his years. Watch this segment and then be sure to check out the tape study segment we did with his latest fight.

  • SEAN YADIMARCO has been a lowkey assassin on the East Coast, stringing together some impressive performances at ADCC trials, IBJJF, and Finishers Sub Only tournaments.

    After his last Finishers performance, we got in touch with the reigning and defending champ to ask about his time in the Blue Basement, what he's been able to take away from his mentor Tom DeBlass, and where he plans to go for the rest of 2024.

  • Fresh off his win at the PGF qualifier, MIKE JOHN returns to the show to discuss his journey to the epic sixth season of the sub only showcase.

  • JAKE BABIAN has been building steam out here in the SoCal fight scene, so it only made sense that when the folks over at Subversiv were putting together a card filled with some of the most intense athletes in combat sports, they put an offer out to this young up-and-comer.

    On April 13th, Jake makes his Subversiv debut. And after a dominant performance at Up Next Fighting, we thought it was time to bring the Barbabian onto the show.

    Get to know his journey from spearhead fisherman to wrestler to mixed martial artist -- and the insane journey that is barely just in its first chapter.

    Then be sure to join us in Anaheim for Subversiv 10 or online on FloGrappling on April 13th.

  • Eddie Bernal was nice enough to make the trek up to Milton Arguello's Mixed Martial Arts Academy to talk about his epic 1st round KO at Lights Out Xtreme Fighting.

    This interview was an excellent discussion of how we bounce back from a performance that haunts us. We discussed how the impacts from his last fight motivated him to come back stronger and how he became an even better fighter in the cage.

    It's a story that I think every fighter (and martial artist) can relate to. And I was glad to see my friend's incredible breakthroughs as both a fighter and a martial artist. BY THE WAY In the episode, you may hear us talk about a fight companion.

    We recorded an additional live episode where we watched the UFC Fight Pass Invitational 6. If you want to see that episode, you can visit

    THIS LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebHSQOLcVNU&t=519s

    It's a breezy two-hour watch-along.

  • I've often said it is hardest to get an interview with me if you are one of my friends. I tend to hold our local pals to a higher standard.

    That's why it made me so happy to see the performance given by our pal, JOSEPH RODRIGUEZ, at the last UP NEXT FIGHTING a couple weeks ago.

    Here, we talk to this up-and-coming mixed martial arts fighter, asking about his beginnings at SYSTEMS TRAINING CENTER, the time he's spent training over at BLACKHOUSE MMA, and get to the bottom of the very best shorts ever worn to a weigh-in.

    I hope you get to know this awesome fighter and mark the time and place of his next fight. He ALWAYS puts on a show.
