But I moved down from Seattle to Los Angeles and then started training with Bushesha and Joao. I told you about his top pressure, right? It wasn't what I thought it would be. Yeah, I can tell you about his top pressure in great detail. He's really large. He's large with perfect technique.
Yeah, it's nuts, bro.
Yeah. And people ask me like, oh, dude, what does that mean? And it's like, dude, I've been doing jiu-jitsu for 20 years. Like, I can't really tell you.
I don't understand that stuff. Some of them are deep Brazilian, though. Not all as easy to understand as buchesha. No. Or what some of them I've noticed will do, they'll be like mid-sentence in English and then they'll go right to Portuguese. Yeah. Because that would happen with Ed Joao's academy. And he'd be like, hey, Greg, don't speak the Portuguese. Go back to English.
It's like, oh, sorry, bro.
Because they yell it.
Like go hard. Yeah. No, bro, it's funny. He's a fucking gorilla. He's a gorilla, dude. But also a gorilla that has perfect technique. Because he moves like a panther. You know, most heavyweights don't move like him.
Dude, it's one of those passes where it's like I either have to tap out or just – give up the pass as quickly as possible. Like, please pass my guard. I want you in side control. I don't want this weird fold thing happening.
Oh, it's really, well, and to take it back to like how I met Bushesha and we're going, right? I'm assuming. I don't know. Michael, did you push the button? He's not incredibly reliable at pushing the button. Do you know who Bushesha is? Uh, no, it's not the Marcus Almeida. He's 13 time world champion. Yeah. Doesn't it mean cheeks? Yes, it does. Cause when he started, he had fat cheeks and, uh,
I mean, he did my podcast and told the whole story. It's funny because I trained under him for years. I didn't know all the details, like how he got into jujitsu. But he started at 12, but he didn't take it serious until 15.
No, and he told me that. I remember one night after practice, he's like, man, I wish I started when I was younger. It's like, dude, you're only the reigning world champion. First off, motherfucker, I found this when I was 40, so I don't want to hear you. I don't want to hear any of that talk. But when I walked into his academy, I was a brown belt from Seattle.
Um, and I'm not, I knew like, listen, I'm not a fucking world champion level grappler, but there was no one in Seattle that made me feel like an infant either. There's guys that could beat me, but I was always in the fight to a certain extent.
And I walked into Boucher's academy. And the funny thing is, is I didn't even know who he was at the time. It was, it was the summer before he won his first black belt world title. And he's just this 23 year old kid that was coaching on the side to earn some extra money, sleeping on couches.
And no one really, like the people that were really into the scene is like, Hey, this guy's the up and comer. But outside of that, no one really knew who he was. And I just signed up there because it worked with my schedule and my commute. I fucking trained with this dude. And after he, what he did to me on night one, I told him, I said, Hey, I'm not trying to be like silly.
This isn't a, I'm not being pejorative as you put it. I said, I'm being serious. I think I need to start over at white belt under you.
Like it was the next week of my life because it's like, dude, I know I'm a good athlete. I know I have pretty good jujitsu at that. By that time I'd had a few MMA fights and just I, I didn't think there was another man that could still do that to me. And it was like that, oh shit moment. You know, that first, oh shit moment you have when the first time you feel real jujitsu.
Yeah. And I told you the guy that, the guy that did that to me, his name's Dallas Dalton. He went through buds with him. Yeah. So that was my first time. He's wee too. Did you say he's wee? Yeah. Well, he's 175. That's wee. Yeah, but he's built like George St. Pierre too. That dude's a super athlete.
Yeah, just save it for the old guys like us. Totally. No, but I had that experience with him. We were actually in Ramadi together when I first got exposed.
What the fuck is happening? Because he goes, bro, do you want to train tonight? I said, yeah, what do you do? And he goes, I want to, he goes, I'm a purple button jujitsu and a Muay Thai fighter. And I said, okay, let's, yeah, I'll see what's up with it. And I grew up and I wrestled a little bit and I boxed a little bit.
And if you have a little bit of training, you think you're basically UFC level.
