Izaak Michell: CJI vs. ADCC, The Rise of Jiu Jitsu, and Dedication with Bo Nickal |N&D 50|

[@eamonshields2754]

CJI is doing it right. Big stakes, big matchups and free on youtube. Thats how you grow the sport.

[@CatNerfer3000]

No sport ever grows that way

[@eamonshields2754]

@@CatNerfer3000 your a dunce. That’s exactly how sports grow. That’s why Karate Combat is taking over.

[@jonasjorgensen8759]

​@@CatNerfer3000one championship

[@jgreen802]

​@@CatNerfer3000that's the only way a sport can grow. Locking it behind a paywall will only attract ppl who train and who are already interested in sport. You have to make it accessable to attract new fans.

[@danielhutchinson5399]

To say that 88kg was not affected is straight up not true. Matheus Diniz (former 88kg champ), Lucas Barbosa (last year’s 88kg silver medalist), Tye Ruotuolo (lost 1st round in 2022 but bronzed in the absolute while at 88kg and also you just competed against at ONE), Eoghan oflanagan (88kg breakout performance who made it to placed 4th after losing to bodoni and vagner) all moved over. So come on…

[@johnbwill]

Kudos Izaak ... doing Aussies proud. You're a breath of fresh air on the scene - staying away from the shite-talking - and letting your skill and humility do the talking. Will be rooting for you. Wishing you the very best.

[@TheChadavis33]

Much respect to Nolf, but it would be an absolute INSANE run for him to win the bracket. Tye is his first match, oh boy is that gonna be a barn burner. If he beats Tye, my hat off to him. But I’m learning towards Tye.

[@derrickgamez3426]

What made and still makes ADCC truly cool, is the thought that you are finding the best grappler on the planet in each weight class. The size of the brackets, the fact anyone can join… I hope CJI goes to the trials format and anyone can enter! Then we are all in for a million!!

[@Lugbyz]

Competing in ADCC instead of CJI is -100 aura

[@jonasjorgensen8759]

Doubt he was invited to CJI tho

[@MSMT-hn5zh]

Bo nickal would be a combat jiu jitsu champion 🔥

[@michaelluke793]

You guys mentioned that you structure your training so that you don’t overtrain. Can you expand on how training is structured? Speaking as a jiu-jitsu player that habitually overtrains.

[@jamess3408]

Jiu-jitsu is a MUCH younger sport... Most of the issues are down to that, surprised no one said that.

[@Macktube]

Bo please do the next ADCC. You can even do the ADCC Opens which are held every other month to get experience in the rules. Everyone would be hyped to see you at ADCC wrestlers and MMA fighters have a history of doing pretty good at the event. Also do Combat Jui Jitsu, Eddie Bravo's the man

[@adelmasto]

UFC wouldn’t allow him for a second to compete in Adcc because of heel Hooks and risk of injury. Not possible

[@Macktube]

@adelmasto They've let other athletes compete at grappling events before, so it's not out of the question. They've even competed at Quintet, which is several matches in in one night

[@adelmasto]

@@Macktube yes it is out of the question because at that quintet cub Swanson blew his knee out now when a ufc fighter does an event like that they modify the rules. Adcc won’t modify the rules for anyone

[@Macktube]

@adelmasto You don't know that,😅 Anyway, i'm just asking Bo to think about it, If not ADCC then some superfights

[@adelmasto]

@@Macktube yes I do know that. The Olympics of no gi grappling isn’t going to switch up their rules to accommodate one person. A super fight on a UFC fight pass invitational makes more sense

[@oriohoodlum]

Tonys walkout song should be the Sopranos theme would be so badass IMO 😎🔥

[@letsssgooo4618]

I’m interested to what he says about the cji

[@saadalikhan3031]

Cant wait to hear who Bo will easily defeat in his imagination this time

[@BryanOSheaComedy]

Thank you gentlemen. Please look into driving with no plates and not handing IDs to police. It may seem like a weird thing to say after your conversation yet if you want to take things to the next level, these are ideas you should contemplate.

[@AC-wc7ju]

Isaak mitchell: both wrestlers are going to win both divisions, because their athleticism l, bjj guys cant compete. Aaaaand all the wrestlers lost lol. What a terrible call

[@dubstepXpower]

Wrestlers are too one dimensional. They always give up their backs too.

[@km5384]

There is no way Izaak quals for the Olympics. He may become Aussie champ, but qualifying is a whole other deal.

[@jasonfairbanks4714]

Izaak is such a cool guy! I can understand why he left b-team. Bunch of back stabbers!

[@nimbus788]

If you close your eyes Izaak sounds like Nicky Ryan

[@-cisco--]

Brother recently i watched your fights.. I think u will be a champion someday but i think you need to increase your ground and pound

[@elcucuy5304]

The australian snake bake again, new wave grub

[@jamespearce3172]

Who's the one person

[@theone8878]

Lol you said USA would win 6 gold medals this time in freestyle but they got big fat zero gold. USA has got nothing but overrated wrestlers.

[@bobbywan7560]

Oiiii gang

[@Alex-xi3bw]

whoever medals in adcc this year will know that there will be an asterisk next to that medal if they're honest with themselves

[@letsssgooo4618]

Hasn’t said CJI right yet lol

[@AC-wc7ju]

So who's the 1 guy he doesn't like lol

[@owengrantjj]

Craig and Izaak don’t like each other

[@lanigaspariii]

Could be Craig Jones. Im assuming Craig because he used to be at B-Team and then he left. They also don’t follow each other on social media anymore

[@letsssgooo4618]

Wow he picked Nolf and a rookie Greg to win both weights? Come on now lol. You don’t have to kiss the Penn state boys asses too much

[@letsssgooo4618]

All American wrestlers “come from folk style”. Lol

[@letsssgooo4618]

Haha if he was well liked you think he’d of been at cji

[@bugsbunny7168]

slovakia or solvakia ? lmao
