Don't see him really push/turn it on after the kimura but I could be wrong!

Do you think there is a huge size difference? Braulio is long, but he fought MMA at 185 and grappled at 88kg (~194 pounds).

I've got a hernia (my second one) so I'm out of commission for a hot minute until I get that fixed. Thinking about getting really into yoga these days. Trying to be the poor mans Chicago Borovic.

Did you hear about him? Went to a tournament and got two bones in his leg shattered by Kyle Boehm via outside heel hook. Out of commission for at least a year.

Yeah, wild break. Have you talked to him since?

I'm skeptical that he will ever fight MMA tbh. He makes enough money grappling, why get punched in the face. Plus he always used to talk about his future MMA career and now he literally never does.

He entered into the combat jiu jitsu tournament with Werdum/Barnett, etc. If you go to his social media, he literally engages fans all day but skips the questions asking about his future MMA career. Then, he did a Q&A for Fightpass leading up to one of his matches recently and a fan asked him about it and he non convincingly said MMA "is still the plan for now" or something similar.
Not sure why the sudden shift. My two theories are 1) His knee injury was pretty terrible actually, maybe he feels limited by it although IDK how much sense that makes given that he's going to freestyle wrestle Pat Downey LOL. 2) Tonon is currently in a contract dispute with One which is why you have seen him make a return to grappling lately, perhaps GR sees how little money MMA guys are making relative to what he's doing competing in grappling and selling instructionals and is just disillusioned with the whole thing.

Maybe AirCanadaTDotRapsfanExposMouse will check in and provide the specifics.
