Don't need creatine, jo! I have all DNA in me! Have a wonderful journey! 💪😁👑

When I was younger, maybe junior high, I got roped into watching my 3 month old niece while my sister got her hair done. So when there i am, sitting in the waiting area of a hair salon with my niece and who walks in but Craig Jones. I was nervous as fuck, and just kept looking at him, as he read a magazine and waited, but didn't know what to say. Pretty soon though my niece started crying, and I'm trying to quiet her down because I didn't want her to bother Craig, but she wouldn't stop. Pretty soon he gets up and walks over. He started running his hands through her hair and asking what was wrong. I replied that she was probably hungry or something. So, Craig put down his magazine, picked up my niece and lifted his shirt. He breast fed her right there in the middle of a hair salon. Chill guy, really nice about it.

“Your tournament is in trouble if your mum is defending it” - this guy is too good

Competed at ADCC trials in Jersey- they changed the location of the venue without notifying athletes and it cost me over $1,000 extra to change locations. I got over it. Then after winning my first match with a belly with a belly down straight ankle, my 2nd opponent did not make the mat and got DQed. They called me back into the building (after leaving to eat) and then (Tom D to my face said he would DQ me if I didn't compete right then) forced me to compete against my DQed opponent- lost by points. Really hard to spend thousands to compete then deal with that level of incompetence and arrogance.

Special thanks to Craig for speaking about Kharkiv, my hometown, that’s is being bombarded daily by russia due to lack of Patriot systems in Ukraine.

What a fantastic interview. I could listen to Craig Jones all day. What an inspirational guy.

Oh man this whole interview was awesome. I watched from start to finish and it was really cool to hear Craig’s insight into his experience in Ukraine. He comes off really nonchalant and goofy but he is seriously eloquent and knowledgeable about so many things beyond the small bjj world. Can’t wait to see the shit storm that CJI will create

Its so fun to watch how you kept trying to get back to the interview while supressing your laughter

As a form of digestible entertainment for the masses, something out of the box definitely needs done and Craig is doing just that. What we have now is like WWE with just the wrestling, but now Craig is adding a story and getting people interested.

Fuck yeah!! Loved this episode ❤ There is a particularly juicy chemistry between these two. Que the 'Step Brothers' montague 😆 Love both of you guys, keep fighting the good fight 💪📈

Just when I thought I couldn't love Craig Jones more... What a mensch.

Love Craig Jones Don’t like the way it is edited and not continuous (á la JRE) as you jump into subjects with no lead up. Understand ads but just jumping into the middle of a conversation.

1:02:02 This was really cool to see. It’s easy to think this dude is basically just Deadpool of the bjj world and hearing him talk about that human connection and concern for the health of those who do MMA, is really cool.

Craig Jones is the man

Craig did a great seminar at our gym earlier this year

Craig is the real goat. Thanks for the interview and supporting Ukraine!

If all the top players go over to compete in CJI instead of ADCC Craig should compete at ADCC and grab that gold medal he deserves!

8:12 he's describing a negative correlation, where increases in one variable are associated with decreases in another variable.

Its not far fetched for ADCC to pay their athletes just to show, they already worked hard and won shit to get there, having some money just to be there is only fair. 50-100K per division won, 250K for absolute title or something. The fact that is was 10K to win in 99 and STILL is like that now is aboslutely insane.

Glad CJI and BJJ is getting more attention, so far women's pay has been increased in ADCC, so it's having an impact.
