But we got the Rotolos. The Rotolos, props to these kids, because Cade's the reigning champion. These are two of the best guys in the sport. Allegedly... were offered pretty significant show money to stay. But they hit me up and they said, hey, promise us one thing. We're on opposite sides of the brackets and we'll fight to the death in the final for the million. And we know, everyone knows that.

We've seen them compete against each other multiple times. So that... was not a surprise because I know they're good kids, but to basically turn down allegedly show money to do this event, to support the event, to me is incredible. Mika Galvao, things would be more complicated there. Like obviously, Mika officially joined ADCC before he secured the Rotolos. Cade beat him in the final.

Mika's personally motivated to face off against Cade. So he didn't know Cade was in our event before he agreed to ADCC. Mm-hmm. There's more to that story too in terms of Mika doing ADCC because a bunch of the kids in his team, I think they're being flown out to do the ADCC kids event. So there's like his two teammates, well, at least one of his teammates will be doing the ADCC 66 kilo division.

So his dad, his coach doesn't really want to split time between two events. That's a difficulty for athletes there. But obviously disappointing. We couldn't secure Mika. Mika said he was about the legacy. So he wanted to be the youngest guy ever to double Grand Slam, which is basically win all the Gi events and win the ADCC that same year.

My thoughts were, if I was in his position, and I never was obviously a prodigy, a talent like that, is I thought he had... a position to make a statement in the sport, to kind of, as cheesy as it sounds, be on the right side of history, to have turned down a double Grand Slam to be in an event that supports athlete pay. Again, I don't overly criticize him.

But I think in terms of your legacy and reputation, to be at a point and choose to do that is much more memorable than him getting that double grand slam, which I'm sure he will win the ADCC 77 kilo division this year, but it'll be somewhat tarnished anyway.

So I do feel bad for some of the athletes that win this year and potentially people will be like, oh yeah, but that was half the people weren't in the division. I feel bad for those guys. But at the end of the day, Most of these guys had an opportunity to be a part of an event that really there's no downside to. You'll have a chance to be paid more money than you've ever been paid in your life.
