A Fistful of Collars: A FloGrappling Podcast

Leg lock conniseur, king of jiu-jitsu banter and wearer of leopard print outfits, Craig Jones is one of the most visible no-gi grapplers in the world, and not just because of his awesome choice in board shorts.  Jones comes back into the FloGrappling studio to discuss: • Why his ADCC 2019 sucked • What he's learned from training with John Danaher  • His thoughts on Lachlan Giles' ADCC run Apologies for the lack of an intro, we lost the first few seconds of audio for this episode. 

Two-time (and two division) ADCC champ Yuri Simoes has always harbored dreams of becoming an MMA fighter, ever since he was a little kid. The no-gi powerhouse talks about the movie that inspired him to lace up the gloves, his experience of training with legendary PRIDE fighter Mirko 'Cro Cop', and tells us when we can expect to see him in the ring.
