#439 – Craig Jones: Jiu Jitsu, $2 Million Prize, CJI, ADCC, Ukraine & Trolling

Really have no business going to Chernobyl. We made a connection. I won't say who this connection was, but he had heard about what I had done with a charity event and opened some doors for us to be able to go to Chernobyl. We got to see Chernobyl. We had some filming restrictions there just because it was a crazy military conflict at one point. We got to actually see Chernobyl.

Chernobyl has always been a dream of mine to see because it's just such an interesting place. And to see it under these conditions, very, very strange. Yeah, what was that like? So there's no civilians there now. It's just completely empty. I guess it's kind of like the fantasy you have.

I imagine people going on tours of Chernobyl back in the tourist days when it was a tourist spot and it would be busy, full of tourists. We got basically a private tour, so we got to really feel... that abandoned sort of vibes. I guess I was interested in it from playing Call of Duty and then. Right. Chernobyl series, all the documentaries and stuff are very, very strange place to go visit.

And that could continually kill people. I don't think it'll be a tourist spot for a very long time because if you were thinking about areas to demine when the conflict ends, an area where if you accidentally trigger a mine could cause a radiation leak, it's probably going to be very low on the list. So tourism for Chernobyl, who knows how long until that returns.
