Jiu-Jitsu After Dark

WWW.PLUGUGLYFIGHTWEAR.COM This weeks episode starts out with a breakdown of which fights from UFC Fight Night 206 are worth watching and which ones are worth skipping. Followed by a more in depth discussion of highlighted fights from the evening. A breakdown of a significant follow from the evening and finally an Easter egg left for y'all who made it all the way through.

Jon stopped by Chris's studio this time and they discussed old BJJ news. Not long after this episode Chris and Jon went to Colorado and documented and recorded nothing while on vacation together, now that's love 

This week it's audio only, no youtube because this week we are on the road at Jon's house. 

Last weekend's (4-15/4-16-2022) fight cards saw 3 different fouls that ended the fight. Chris, a licensed referee and judge discusses his take on what are appropriate punishments for fouls in MMA, what is a technical decision, results of CFFC 107, LFA 129, and Bellator 277.

Full disclosure: This episode was recorded in the morning, not after dark as the name would imply. This episode felt like I was rough drafting a stand up skit.  Largely what I'm enjoying as jiu jitsu continues to run my life.  

Oh man, I missed doing this show regularly so I spent some time and money and invested in a studio. I will be back weekly from here on out but Jon won't be on the show as often. He will be on when he feels like it and I'll explain this and where the show is going, what's been going on, and more on this episode.  There will be a lot of growth from Jiu Jitsu After Dark in 2022 and I appreciates y'all for helping out, tuning in, and just interacting with us. These have been some isolated times and y'all are making it a lot easier.  Thank you

A very small technical error has been log jamming our episodes and that is why they have not been showing up. 

Close enough

That's why it sounds like that

We'll see

We recorded this a while ago, when we could still go out to bars. I didn't feel like posting it sooner. Because. (recorded in March2020?) *** Presented by: JimBeam.com *** Kosportsgear.com *** powertraintape.com (save 10% at checkout with promo code afterdark)
