USADA is fake
The fact he is not brazilian, he uses leg locks and has a loud personality are reasons why he is hated by brazilians. Almost like eddie bravo, difference is eddie does weed rather than leg locks in competition

No. I am Brazilian and I hate him because he does roids. He could have truly been the GOAT but now we will never know. Marcelo, Roger... true champs dont juice. Dont even come tell me they all do, cause again, marcelo didnt, roger didnt, even tonon doesn't. It's probably easier to do jiu jitsu when you take roin growth which is why he does it. But you get to be the jiuce head too. Sad.

At around 19:30 they talking about CJJ. How are the rules for strikes? Can you use carpal bones for strikes e.g. against nose?
Big fan of Gordon, he's a savage grappler. If he can get his striking up to snuff, he'll be an interesting competitor.
Hope Gordon can transition well to mma he will be fun to watch in the octagon
I'm a huge fan of Gordon. How can you not like him? He is an amazing athlete and his jiu jitsu knowledge and skills are out of this world. I'm thankful that he competes.

I'm Brazilian and I love your game.
As a brazilian american myself and friends with a ton of brazilians I can say the reason he gets hate from a lot of people is because he seems to not have any respect for the community in general. He's always talking sh** and started claming to be the best ever himself when he wasnt quite there yet. That rubs people the wrong way. Brazilian or not. From the brazilians perspective he sounds like a very arrogant douche dismissing the martial arts with all its traditions. He's a phenomenal grappler, the best in NOGI bjj right now, and I hope he becomes very successful in the UFC. Brazilians love BJ Penn for a reason, the guy was a beast on the mat, first american to become a champion, but still always respected everybody. Rafael Lovato Jr is another great example. People in Brazil like him too. This whole rhetoric is just a way for to motivate himself to be the best. Hated white guy vs brazilians. He chose to be the villain. Oss
I have been studying Gordon the last few months and trying to figure out why he's so good. After this interview, Now I know. He's sharp. His mind is going 100mph 24-7
