#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

My issue with it is it is a rule set that allows somebody that's overall worse at jiu-jitsu to win a match.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

You know, a guy can go out there and just stall and just get completely dominated for the entirety of regulation, and then he gets to start on the guy's back.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

So that's my one issue with it.

I also think that it'll help you develop technique as well because obviously, you know, testosterone helps with recovery rate.

So if you're on gear, you're able to train a lot more.

Now, that being said, if you're not able to learn, obviously, it's not going to help in that aspect.

#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

But if you're somebody that knows how to learn and get good at jiu-jitsu and then you add gear on top of that, you're able to do significantly more sessions throughout the week.

Yeah, I think it's very difficult to gas somebody out while playing guard, but I think it's very easy to gas somebody out when attempting to pass it.

See what I did there?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

What about you, Nicky?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

Yeah, if I had to pick a GOAT, I would probably have to say Khabib, just because he was undefeated.

#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

And he had a very high finishing rate.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

Very few of his fights actually went to a decision.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

So overall, he dominated almost every single opponent he went against.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

The dominance.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

I definitely can you talk through your injury like what happened yeah so uh about one week prior to uh this last ADCC I was I was wrestling with um this guy named Kenta who was also competing and uh I went to go lift him from like a rear body lock and he hooked the outside of my leg and we just felt something pop you know he felt a shift with his with his leg and uh

Lex Fridman Podcast
#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

When it first happened, it hurt for like the first 30 seconds.

#363 โ€“ B-Team Jiu Jitsu: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, and Nicky Ryan

And then I honestly debated.
