This week on the show Maine and Miranda preview the 2026 IBJJF No-Gi GP we break down all of the big black belt, super fights, and every single athlete in the Grand Prix. In the preview section of the show, we discussed every single first round matchup in the IBJJF absolute No-Gi GP. We kick it off discussing the quarterfinal matchups that kickoff the event with the top seed Victor Hugo vs Marlon Tajik, we discussed the recent performances that we've seen from both athletes and how Marlons most recent ADCC European trials performance and brand new black belt will affect him going into this matchup against potential number one seed Victor Hugo.On the same side of the bracket we discussed Javier Barter vs Nick Hartman, with Hartman, coming off of an impressive ADCC trials performance of his own we talk about his guard work and how it may play a factor versus the Panamanian in Barter.In Pedro Marinho vs Diego Pato we discussed the stylistic matchup with Diego being by far the smallest competitor in the entire tournament. We discuss how Pedro will most likely play the Ranger game and leverage his wrestling and guillotine game versus the quick speed and leg locks of Pato. In the final quarterfinals matchup we discussed Michael Pixley vs Gustavo Batista, we talked about the guard work from Gustavo and how it may potentially play an issue with Pixley's passing game we also discussed some potential strategic avenues for Pixley and Gustavo to potentially leverage the IBJJF points in order to come out on top.We also preview the second round and potential finals matchups on each side of the bracket, discussing Victor Hugo's potential pathway to victory as the number one seed in the event. We preview the black belt, super fights on the card as well.With Cole Abate vs Will Wilson a rematch from an earlier event with both coming off of very strong performances at the Europeans will taking the lightweight division and Cole taking silver against Kennedy in the division below.We discussed Helena Crevar vs Aghata Rabelo another rematch that took place in the Gi at the colored belts we discuss Helena's argument for the slot as the number one No-Gi woman in the world.We briefly discuss Sarah Galvão vs Maria Vicentini, and how the recent Atos situation may play into the preparation that Sarah is able to do in the lead up to this match. We also discuss Leo Souza vs Mateo Cardona and Ashlee Funegra vs Yasmyn Castro.In the outro of the show, we discuss recent travel and the upcoming promotion for Corey of the Grappling Rewind later that night.  Recorded 2-23-2026

Ffion Davies joins James Smith to reveal the problem with women in jiu-jitsu, a sport often gatekept by a "sausage fest" mentality and dangerous myths about self-defense. Davies, a six-time world champion, exposes why the current narrative is failing women and how the lack of equal pay is a quiet crisis threatening the sport's growth. They confront the reality of the "big strong dude" syndrome, the biological discrepancies in training, and the high-stakes battle for financial respect in elite competition.

This week on the show Maine and Miranda recap the UFC BJJ 5 and ADCC European and African Trials 2026. We kick off the show talking about Gordon Ryans official retirement.After that we move into the recap section of the show talking about UFC BJJ 5 headlined by Mikey Musumeci vs Shay Montague for the Bantamweight title. We talked about Shay tearing something in his upper leg and announcing it to his corner at the end of the first round, then we discussed the passing from Mikey in the second round and the heel hook submission that allowed Mikey to retain his title. In the middleweight title match, we talked about Ronaldo Souza Junior vs Tarik Hopstock with Ronaldo, retaining his title through top pressure. In Nicholas Meregali vs Nicholas Maglicic we talked about Meregali returning to competition after 17-months off due to injury  and how we were able to see flashes of the old game while seemingly dealing with some rust. We also discussed that this was most likely. Meregali first match with a three round timer and likely his first match in a pit or bowl.In Andy Murasaki vs Andy Varela we talked about Varela's slower pace, and how potentially this has changed in his recent matches and then we discussed the fantastic armbar from guard from Murasaki. In Landon Elmore vs Rerisson Gabriel we discussed the early leg locks and how Gabriel was able to defend them; then in the following two rounds was able to impose a top pressure game with a guillotine counter in the third to take the match via decision.In Taylor Hishaw vs Rebeca Lima Mona we talked about the Estima lock finish from Lima.In Jalen Fonacier vs Carlos Oliveira we discussed Jalen hitting the fastest sub in UFC BJJ history with a 16 second heel hook. We also discussed potentially where he goes from here if he is unwilling to face Mikey, and if he will have to go up in weight.In our recap of the ADCC European and African Trials for 2026 the second regional trials for the 2026 world championship season. We recapped every single finals match across all of the division divisions, including the women's finals matches that qualify them for the world championships as this is the second trials for that region.We kick it off discussing the +99 kg division final between Aiden Woodley vs Haisam Rida where we saw a Hari Goshi from Rida to Rear naked choke. In -99 kg we recap Mohamed Urusov vs Eoghan O'Flannagan discussing the finishing sequence where Owen was able to get to single leg and immediately throw for a heel hook knee bar combination to get the submission win in the finals.In -88 kg in Faris Ben-Lamkadem vs Marlon Tajik we talked about the back-and-forth takedowns in the match and some of the more interesting resets, as well as the scoring particularities that came with the match when it comes to decision. With the decision going to Marlon. In -77 kg Taylor Pearman vs Nicolay Vetrov we discussed the negative one that Taylor received for pulling guard in the finals and how Nicolay was able to play a solid game and prevent any points from being scored in order to take the victory. In -66 kg Yigit Hanay vs Kostiantyn Zhyvanov we discussed the pacing of the match with Yigit scoring late in order to punch his ticket to the world championships. In the Womens finals, at -55 kg Ana Moyordomo vs Janette Gloger we talked about the clean back take that Janett was able to hit to the rear naked choke to take the win. In 65 kg Injana Goodman vs Ane Svendsen we talked about the prolonged sequences of back control from Goodman that allowed her to outscore and threatened the rear naked choke the entire match to get the win on points. In +65KG Nia Blackman vs Anabel Lopez we talked about the level of activity and the guard work with Annabelle Lopez taking the win on activity. Recorded 2-16-2026

In Episode 300 of the Off the Mats Podcast, I sit down with my original Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach, Danny Ives, for a conversation about evolution, longevity, and what the black belt really represents. This isn't just a milestone episode, it's a reflection on mat time, consistency, and how jiu-jitsu changes the longer you stay in it. We break down the differences between old school and new school jiu-jitsu, less information versus the instructional era, fundamentals versus specialization, gym reputation versus online branding, and how competition has evolved from smaller local tournaments to global stages like ADCC. We talk about whether the average blue belt today is more technical, whether fundamentals are being lost, and what each era gets right and wrong. We also deconstruct the myth of the black belt. Do black belts really win every round? Do they stop learning? What changes technically and mentally after reaching that rank? Danny answers direct questions in our “Ask A Black Belt” segment, covering ego, longevity, training after 40, recovery habits, and what white, blue, and purple belts misunderstand most. This episode is for grapplers at every level who want perspective, not hype. If you're chasing improvement, questioning your path, or wondering what long-term jiu-jitsu really looks like, this conversation is for you. Old school gave us roots. New school gives us branches. The belt is symbolic, but the mat doesn't care what color you're wearing.

This week, Maine and Miranda preview the upcoming WNO 31 night of champions we discussed all of the matchups on the main card and breakdown our picks for who will win and retain the titles at Who is Number One.We kick off the show discussing the main event Felipe Pena vs. Luke Griffith we talk about their first two matchups where Pena has been able to submit Luke every time. We talked about their first match up at ADCC 2024 and then again in CJI 2 we talk about some of the stylistic approaches that Luke may take in this trilogy matchup and how his camp is one of the best in the world to deal with Felipe specifically. We also discuss Pena's game and how it has been effective every single time that you have matched up. In the main event, we discussed the matchup between Diego "Pato" Oliveira vs Deandre Corbe. We discussed their most recent matchup that was a somewhat controversial win for Deandre at Sapatero via a judges decision, we discussed some of the strategies in the matches, and how potentially a fired up Pato could potentially put up a pace that alone allows him to win a judges decision in the WNO format. In the featherweight title match between Helena Crevar and Julia Boscher, we discussed the recent outstanding run that Helena has been on winning both the women's division at CJI2, and staking her claim as one of the best women in the world we discussed the difference in ranking leading up to this match, and the activity that will be needed from Julia to win. In Gabi Pessanha vs. Paige Clymer we discussed Gabi making her super fight NoGI debut we discussed some of her Footlock winds that she has taken recently on the IBJJF circuit and some of the tactical tendencies that she has that may lead to her potentially being able to be countered by Paige. We discussed some stylistically changes in. Paige passing, that may potentially work in her favor. We talked about the pathway that Gabi has to victory with heavy top pressure and being able to consistently force into back control to look for the sub.In Xande Ribeiro vs. Faris Ben-Lamkadem we discussed some of Xande recent performances, and how this match up is a late replacement matchup with one of the top grappler on the IBJJF circuit out of Europe. In Felipe Costa vs. Abraham La Montagne we discussed the danger of the Abe lock and potentially the camp that Felipe comes from in order to be able to deal with that technique we discussed the quick outside, passing from Felipe in potentially activity that would allow him to be the favor in this matchup.In the second half the preview section we discussed ADCC Asian and Oceanic Trials, we talked about the size of the divisions and some of the notable competitors at the event.In the introduction of the show show the hosts talked about Maines wife getting her black belt in a few weeks. Recorded 11-30-2025

From Christmas light disasters and gas station nachos to the real Jiu-Jitsu GOAT debate… this episode goes everywhere. Matt and Kenny talk about maxing out ladders for “forever lights,” free knives and Jordans, Kenny's old DJ life, celebrity Jiu-Jitsu (Tom Hardy, AC Slater, Ashton Kutcher), and then dive into who actually belongs on the BJJ Mount Rushmore. Timeline-1They break down Hodger Gracie vs Buchecha resumes, ADCC finish rates, IBJJF world titles, and why the fourth “no-gi face” might still be up for grabs.
