🥇 🥇 Although this clip is from our interview TWO years ago, it's relevant again since Mo Black just won ADCC Eat Coast Trials AGAIN! We're definitely overdue in bringing her back on the show!

🤼 Are worlds of wrestling and professional wrestling are two sides of the same coin. But as @boujeegatame.bsky.social found out, no one from the WWE comes to recruit you after high school wrestling.

What kick-started your grappling journey?

⚖️ Balance in life is important. Especially when it's between running a grappling gym and grappling promotion. Shout out to the Jordan Peitzman for finding the space to put on another SubSpectrum event this weekend all while keeping the Precision Submission Grappling lights on!
